Reply to comment by iamgianluca in [D] Will there be a replacement for Machine Learning Twitter? by MrAcurite

For those considering a move to sigmoid.social, some info:

  • It is run/administered by The Gradient (thegradient.pub). Disclaimer - I am part of the team.
  • It has about 5500 active users currently, including some notable folks like Karpathy and AK
  • It is funded by users on Patreon
  • There is a detailed code of conduct on the about page.

Final note: I don't think it's a 1-1 replacement for Twitter. Twitter's Algorithmic feed is great for encouraging discovery of new stuff and seeing new memes. Mastodon's smaller scale and non algorithmic feed encourages a more community vibe with everyone's voice having equal weight. It's possible to use both (which I do - following the drama on Twitter is just too addictive).
