I tried Imzy, and I wanted to like it, I really did.

However, I found it slow, bloated, very unnecessarily political (in a deeply polarising way, which is bad for something that isn't going to be an echo chamber), and the signal to noise was absolutely atrocious.

I get what they were trying to achieve (and I hope things have improved since I left), but I think there's as much a risk of overestimating what Imzy can achieve as there is underestimating.

You should take another look.

With respect, why? Also, why Imzy over somewhere else?
