I've been following Discord and WT.Social a bit, but they don't seem too promising. I thought LessWrong looking interesting, but right now feel it's too elitist and censorious. I try to look at several new ones each year, but mostly I cling to ye olde Slashdot. Not for the discussions. I mostly like the feel of the editing software. Some of the rejects i can recall include WordPress, MeWe, and Ello. Twitter is a total loss, but sometimes I vent there. (Recently ranting against the filibuster. How about population-based cloture?) I resolved the Facebook problem with a 100-yen timer. Five minutes/day killed the engagement, and most days I don't even look at it.
