The big difference between Twitter and FB/IG is that it's explicitly oriented towards following people you don't know, not your friends. There's great, meaningful stuff on there (amongst all the meaningless fluff, but that's just Sturgeon's Law). The political stuff is toxic but if you dodge that and follow interesting people it gets a lot better. The 280-char limit is IMO a bug these days, not a feature, and people route around it somewhat awkwardly with threads.
