Unironically twitter (and only use the "Following" tab as opposed to the "For You")

Make an account that only follows university affiliated researchers with less than 1000 followers. In my experience discord servers get suffocated by beginners and crackpots because conversations don't naturally self-organize into their own threads.

Thanks, I'll try using the "Following" tab. I have a lurker account but never really used it because I only ever saw crap in "For You".
