Anyone still using twitter?

The fact that you don’t personally participate in social media but you do work in the social media arena is not hypocritical

I agree, in my case security issues have arisen on FB for example: I have no control really over the kind of usage I make personally of the platform. I stay away from it mostly and will, I think, have to close my account at some point, sooner than I would like. Twitter seems ok at present but I have concerns about that too now. Your point is fine and I might well use FB in some other capacity other than my personal life. It is also the case that platforms change over time and become a liabiltiy, I think that has happened to FB.

Never had a Facebook account thank goodness. I have a Twitter account but have not posted in years. I should probably just cancel it. Twitter has turned into a cesspool of stupidity and hate imho. I can’t believe people actually get their news there. WTH!

I’m still on Twitter daily - Facebook has been demoted to once or twice a week, and only through Safari, and Instagram is strictly for promoting my freelance photography business

I still use Twitter (and Facebook)…

… “All the channels all the time”.

I follow a lot of researchers and find Twitter a useful way to keep up to date in my field. A couple of years ago I spent a long time removing news and other media accounts, which I use RSS to follow.

I haven’t deleted my Facebook account because I would be unable to contact a few of my friends who live abroad, however I do not have any of their apps (FB, Instagram, Whatapp etc.) installed on any of my devices because I do not trust them. Instead, I use the web version when I need to send a message - which now is only once or twice a month.

I am in charge of huge (national) social media campaigns

Similar here though not on that scale. I look after a digital team that encompasses SM.

@Bill_Aus

I plan on doing this in a few weeks when I extricate myself out of a particular role that uses Facebook for Admin purposes.

I have now deleted FB! yay!

I’m finding I’m on Twitter to scan but rarely contribute (It’s a technical area where I just need the headlines), so that may be going soon. I was off it for a while long enough that I needed a new username.

Will look at Apple news, though general news really is of no interest either… (I like my bubble!)

Twitter and Instagram have replaced my RSS feeds and email newsletters. I don’t follow the news but I follow brands, stores, podcasts, websites, and organizations I like. There’s no better way to be informed about new releases, sales, events, etc. than Twitter or Instagram.

Twitter also has the added benefit of being heavily used by a lot of software engineers. It’s an easy way for me to see what very talented people are doing.

I don’t follow many “real” people on Instagram and none on Twitter. I also never Tweet outside of replies so while I’d love to pay for Tweetbot because I dislike the Twitter website, I can’t justify the cost just yet.
