I also quit Twitter a long time ago. Unlike OP I don’t feel I’ve missed out on any important conversations. Twitter is awful at being a communication platform.

I also quit Twitter a long time ago. Unlike OP I don’t feel I’ve missed out on any important conversations. Twitter is awful at being a communication platform. There’s no concept of on-topic or off-topic, so in order to get the little morsel of useful information you have to wade through political arguments, pictures of pets and who knows what else. Using Twitter feels like a chore. In place of Twitter I use discord, various programming subreddits, HN, and I get way more exposure to important information when it’s not hidden amongst every shade of anger and banality.
