I kept Twitter to "advertise" when I write technical blogs which I do very little of these days due to time.
I follow a bunch of tech type stuff I'm interested in, but honestly, it's become more of a place to vent and whine about this or that.
When I step back and look at it from afar, it's kinda what Facebook was when I left it a decade or so ago; people whining, and any subject worth commenting on is too controversial to do on the likes of Twitter where nuance is easily lost in so few characters.
I see no real need for me to be on Twitter anymore. I'm not on any other social networks aside from linkedin, which also seems to have lost its professional focus.

- AitchEmArsey 5y agoIt is a sign of the trying times we live in that I saw the extra "z"s in your post and instead of assuming a typo, I immediately think of Russian hackers infiltrating this platform.
- alias_neo 5y agoHehe the truth is much less nefarious; I was typing this on mobile, my 2 year old was climbing on me as I type and my wife was calling us both to hurry up and get to the dinner table, or else! Edit: and to explain why z's, it's exactly above the comma "," on my Android phone (Gboard), and it's easy to miss when you can't see!
- adhesive_wombat 5y agoWhile we're on the subject of things with horrible UX (Twitter), why is there no forward slash on GBoard as a long-press alternative but there is a backslash?!
