The only time I ever experienced this really working was in the early days of blogging - ca. 2002-2004 or thereabouts. You could engage with smart people you didn't know and have interesting conversations. I developed a number of long-term friendships during that period.
But centralized SM has never worked that way for me. Too many people preening, looking for their "audience" of "followers," some competing to be the snarkiest person in the room, some trying (always failing) to show they're the smartest person in the room - like a dystopian scifi novel.

quoting nevent1q…99ahGm, #nostr.
My current practice is to block and hide commenters:
- who ignore (or don't care about) the context of the original post
- who appear to have not even read the original post
- who subtract value from any potential conversation which might arise from the original post
While quote-posting commenters and others who:
- add a relevant idea which had not occurred to me
- point out a legitimate flaw in, or alternative to, my reasoning
- disagree with me is a way that adds value to any potential conversation which might arise from the og post.
I have never had this approach work for very long on the centralized SMs. It rapidly devolves into something which is boring and uninspiring. Let's see if #nostr is different.
