It has a strong ML community, including those that like (and are from) Vietnam and China.

Even the liberals or milquetoast left-wing people from other countries give better answers; they’re not like the ones from Reddit, probably because non-English options are widely present.

And the answers are comprehensive. Now, are they always correct? No, not always. But keep in mind that neither are the answers from Reddit or Internet forums.

I find myself missing that place, but I was laughed at for using it a couple of times and so stopped after a while. I might re-use my old account again and maybe try to make another ML place.

Your thoughts?

Idk, I just prefer Quora sometimes; I’m always guaranteed an answer.

    I find myself on Quora more than I would think based off its layout. I think the website is very messy and sometimes makes the information hard to parse. But I do agree in general that I think it has a bad reputation for what it is.

    I’m sure it might be ok on less contentious subjects but most of the time I end up on quora it is a dead end of reactionary garbage. Lots of the answers are conspiratorial, ahistorical, or just a twisted version of truth. Maybe 10% of the time I end up on quora I find an answer that is reasonable.

    But that doesn’t stop me from looking.
