We could stop thinking of them as walled gardens we're trying to get into and start thinking of them as quarantines for the Eternal September population.

I think it's great. My feed is people posting tech/AI news, scientific publications, videos of rockets and self-driving cars, things made with coding agents etc. It's full of people who do meaningful work as well and you can see who they are.
