It's like a forum except you have to earn friends? I don't get it
-
Yes. It's fun, as long as you don't use official clients.
-
I had a great one ;) but I tend to shutdown my social media accounts and it got deleted for being down for too long ::)
-

I just use the web client and mobile app. Bar the ads on the mobile app, it hasn't been THAT bad? Might be Stockholm Syndrome from being on it for 12-15 years now.

I use Tweetdeck on desktop and Tweetbot on mobile. Can't fuckin' stand the ads, algorithmic timeline and the "HERE'S SOME INFLAMMATORY RIGHT WING TWEETS YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ" recommendations of the official app.

I'm just a lurker, I never post.
It's like any social media, it's good for niche topics but terrible for general topics. Casual users are cool, people that spend all day on there suck.

Been using recently a browser addon to redirect to an alternative, read-only front end (Nitter). Similarly been using one too for Youtube videos (Invidious) for a longer while. Stripped down, customizable experience. Both with dark themes.

Here's mine (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump) :)
-
Yup, but I keep it boring and use it for video game stuff or retweeting funny junk.

Those are the best though, because you get people dunking on those.
Twitter is what you make of it.

Yes, on third-party clients, where I can curate my own content and not read idiotic reactionary garbage.

buy my tapes off bandcamp to gain access to my twitter

I complain to massive companies that I received poor service due to my race and the send me free stuff
-
What race is that, slow?

twitter is basically all nonces and people who haven't yet been outed as nonces shouting at each other.

Twitter is useful in some ways probably, but I'm not sure it's truly anything to do with the website or default client's design intentions or what the company wants. I almost never use my "feed" because I only follow a handful of people who mostly aren't (or weren't) prolific tweeters and see tweets more mostly from other sources like forums or messages or discord. But I'm weird maybe.
I used to tweet into the void when real life friends were using Twitter but then I kinda stopped after they mostly left to go back to Facebook. I've tweeted like three times in seven years. Now there's this creepy filipino dude who responds to my tweets on there if I make them. And Michael Bloomberg didn't give me any money for my prior tweet on his behalf. Is there an android equivalent of Tweetbot? Maybe I'd start tweeting again if I didn't use the default app on my phone. I forget what I used to use on desktop/laptop when I did tweet, it probably says if I look back. Though I imagine I can probably tweet into the void just as well on the default app and am likely just making excuses. As if it's a big deal to shitpost into the void.
To your other question, some of the most successful people use Twitter "properly" and some of the most successful use it to write essays. I prefer the former obviously but there's lots of ways to "success" on Twitter.

I made a gaming feed not to be that reliant on resetti news anymore. And follow what the bire says, so add me. :-[ https://twitter.com/kainzkT And in Pokemon GO too.

Twitter gives you direct access to the Matrix
-

No and it drives me insane, the official app is trash

I don't use the main feed all that much anymore but for a different reason: there's a limit (5000) to the number of accounts you can follow (it's only lifted if 5000 accounts follow you) and I hit it long ago, but when you hit the limit you can still add other accounts to lists, so I started doing that to get around the limit and now I usually just view one of my lists (I'm up to 53 of them some with hundreds of accounts) instead :lol
That's all just for my main account as I have several alts as well :lol

No. I would delete mine, but I don't want my handle being free to take. I'm planning on deleting my tweets and signing out permanently on the 1st.
Twitter is bad for mental health, political stability, and everything in between. If it died tomorrow (and nothing similar took its place) I would be immensely pleased and I'm convinced the world would be a better place.
Those who continue to actively engage with the service don't have a right to then complain about it, as far as I'm concerned. Enjoy the mud pit, you pigs. :trumps

I do it anyways cause I like your tunes. :heartbeat

i only follow kpop, chinese propaganda accounts and tech, best blend of entertainment

I just stick to video game stuff and it has been fine. I find FB much worse.

I love twitter, you probably just need to find a twitter clique that's right for you.

My cumulative Twitter usage almost certainly exceeds yours; I don't need to be lectured on the "right way" to use Twitter. Take it from me: it's rotten all the way down, and if you think you're somehow a special snowflake who's immune to Twitter's manipulative elements, you're wrong.

I don't disagree. They're both awful and humanity would be better off without either service. That Facebook is definitely more evil than Twitter does not mean "Twitter is good, actually."

I pre-emptively accept your apology for when you inevitably quit Twitter.

thx, the skein of fate is tangled indeed and while I don't assign a high probability to that branch of the multiverse I still appreciate thoughtful gestures such as queued up apology acceptances across any and all contingent futures and have therefore queued up my own apology acceptance acceptance in the appropriate thread-local storage. :)

I enjoy Twitter a lot but I don't post much anymore myself.
What I'm tired of though is the sales/industry analyst LARP of the artists formerly known as NeoGAF or ResetEra members and their groupies.
These days I'm more into niches like boomer shooter Twitter.

lol at crossing real life w/ borelife

The only ones I know are rose twitter, bread twitter, wank dad twitter, and K-Pop twitter, but I don't know what any of those things mean.
