Mastodon has a lot of tech people but very much a hard on for hating anything with AI, especially with AI coding. The rest of the social networks don’t really get a meaningful amount of tech discussions.

X is the only place to learn about the latest developments on AI coding. And yes, you do have to sift through a lot of idiots on there and a lot of scams and bots, but the point remains.

What are you even talking about? Reddit, YouTube, even TikTok has more serious tech-content than X these days. X is now hard infested with scammers and bots, who want to sell you their snake oil and other low-quality-trash. High-quality-content is the exception. Sure, there are still high-profile-people, but outside of posting relevant news, usually leading to other platforms, even those are more busy with trash-talking and dreaming around.

YouTube is consumption only, you don't really have a lot of discussions, also it's stale, because it takes quite a bit to reflect the latest.

As a Reddit user - Reddit's tech talk quality is quite lower than X. Don't know about TikTok, haven't used it, I imagine it's the same as Youtube.

X is a dumpster fire for sure, but there's still quality people on there that push the latest on what's happening. It's where the tech companies first announce things and it's where the discussion around those gets picked up.
