Wow. Glad I'm not putting energy into Twitter any longer.

  As someone who's never sent a tweet, what did you get out of it Pre-SpaceJesus?

    Not much to be honest so it's not really a loss

    Local status updates and the occasional tidbit of interest from people whose thoughts I like to read but who twitterblog instead of using an actual blog.

    I quit Twitter when Elon took it over. It provided me with: Easy access to information and articles about breaking news events. Community. A feed of interesting articles and discussions. Enjoyment gained from following quickly evolving memes, discussions, and jokes. A way to verbalize incidental thoughts, and the pleasure of crafting those thoughts into small nuggets to share with my friends. Of course there are many negative aspects to Twitter, but those are the things I found value in.

      All still present (positive and negative) on Twitter, plus the benefit to open-minded people of hearing opinions from all sides, which has improved post-Elon.

    I used to run a bot that broadcasted my town's current alternate side parking rules (for snow removal operations) but after twitter got weird the town decided to make a text messaging service for it. I still use it to follow certain artists but if that subcommunity moves I'll follow them elsewhere.
