Exactly... occasionally when I'm trying to research something and I've exhausted the information available on google / reddit I'll go to twitter to try to search for something... and 90% of what you can find there is just spam. I used to subscribe to a bunch of comedians and journalists and it served as a nice news / joke feed but things really took a dive after 2016 and made the whole platform horrible to use.
I feel like Kbin's combination of mastodon and a reddit-like community system could solve a lot of problems with both reddit and twitter.
