I fancied a bit of a change so I popped over to Twitter. Oh my word! What a scary place that is. Everyone is so shouty and they insult one another constantly. I’ve seen words in sentences to label people that just seem so daft.
Gammon - or gammon head
Bot - everyone is called a bot
Troll - well I’m familiar with that from the forums.
And if you have less than 30 followers they laugh at you. I have closed my account and returned to safe space 
What do you make of Twitter? |

I thought it was just me that refused to have anything to do with it!
Never been on it, as the original premise seemed pointless, and don't see that ever changing
I'm even disillusioned with Facebook and barely use it these days |

The twittersphere seems to be the most toxic of all social media from all accounts. I've never used but have seen how vicious it can be and much ill will it can bring out in people.
Too much social media in general makes people angrier and more miserable I find. The only one I really use is fab...if it can be construed as such  |

It provides a forum for opinions from anyone and everyone I suppose but so much negativity on there. It drains the soul. |

It's a good way to follow authoritative sources on things, a feed of information. I've got virologists I'm following for sure.
It's like most things, you can make it work.
On the rare occasions I comment I get nervous if I get too much interaction on my activity. |

"I don't know how people find the time for it. I tried it years ago but have up pretty quickly.
Mind you, I'm not on face book either. "
I wonder if it just becomes addictive. Collecting followers and retweet’s of your posts? I don’t know. |

I agree with you Chill. They seem to build themselves up into a frenzy. It must be exhausting and you can’t say right for saying wrong  |

"No twitter or facebook account here tried facebook years ago .
seeing what my daughter

was not for me"
Oh yes. It’s essential that all meals are shared on all platforms. Unless I get to tase it I’m not sure I want to just look at it ... so to speak |

Hi Swing x yes I can see the benefit of following virologists.
I daren’t comment too much either. It isn’t a great feeling when people pounce. |

Stay in the safe space Nippy
I can’t work out if it is the comments and opinions that make them angry or if they are angry people looking for a squabble. It’s confusing.
We are ok in here though |

Is it something to do with having to turn thoughts and ideas into short soundbites? Oversimplifying can make things more binary, and so more divisive? I have to say it's never appealed to me. |

I kinda like Twitter. I accept the many problems of it. The fibs and insults too. But admit I took a sabbatical from it until Covid hit for about a year. You can end up wasting time on it.
Depends how you use it, who you follow, private lock for my own account, you can even stop people replying. |

I quite like Twitter. Some of the funniest content is on there. There are, as with all social media/forums, a lot of dickheads and trolls making a noise, but if you follow the accounts you enjoy and mute the ones you don't, it soon becomes worthwhile. I tend to work it broadly as: Facebook is for people I know personally, Twitter is for people I don't. |

That makes sense. I did just follow a bunch of stuff so that I could see how it worked. There was a lot of negativity but if I tailored it then it could work. I get it  |

There and to the left a bit |
Like most social media (the forums here included) Twitter is as good or as bad as you choose to make it.
There are aspects of it I enjoy and particular people I follow who I'm interested in hearing what they have to say - it can be funny, interesting, informative and much more BUT it's also easy to get sucked into some of the more negative ranty aspects of it too.
The key is picking and choosing how you use it - both different from picking and choosing which threads you read/comment on here. |

I've never had the pleasure of twitter and only a very recent participant in the fab forums..and still trying to find my feet (cue image of bambi stumbling on the ice) Which I am in 2 minds to stick with for the same reason.

You’re right GM. It’s about choosing to follow what you want to hear about - whatever that may be. Unlike me that followed everything
I can’t see me going back to it but if I did I would be more selective next time around |

It can take time to find your way on here but when you do it can’t be a lot of fun. Steer clear of the shouty people if it’s not your thing. It works for me I hope you enjoy the forums. |

I think people are finding they don’t need these channels and they are filling up with narcissistic and insecure people publicly wallowing in their self
We have messaging apps for Comms , forums for discussion and valid news/journalism sources - this is enough ? I think it is. We share the odd thing on Facebook still it’s kind of bigger that a WhatsApp group chat |

I've actually really enjoyed my (personal) Twitter experience - I've made some great friends and learned a lot of interesting things. To be fair I do stick to the sex positive/poly blogging community so they are generally friendlier. I think Twitter is just like fab forum but amped up to the max. You still read the same close minded, lacking compassion crap on here just on a smaller scale. |

Meli I didn’t follow anything remotely to do with sex. That was clearly a mistake I’m glad you have had a positive experience though, it’s good to know.
‘Amped up to the max’ is a good way of putting it and I agree. |

I think if you’ve popped yourself into twitter for a while you can definitely feel the difference on here, mild by comparison. I could live in a world of glitter though I’ve got to say |

"Social media is full of anger and hate right now, pretty depressing. I can't help but look though.
Do it get you down when you read it? "
It does actually. I don't think Instagram is as bad. Yea you get trolls making stupid and nasty comments but what folk post in general is a lot less angry than Facebook and Twitter. I think on those two it's the sharing/re-tweeting of doom, gloom and propaganda that's the problem. |

It’s a shame some people just see the negative side of Twitter.
If someone came on Fab and said it’s just full of people cheating on their partners, treating others like prostitutes I’m sure others would say it’s not just like that.
Twitter has lots of lovely people on it, if it wasn’t for places like Twitter, Captain Tom, for example, would definitely not have been able to raise as much money as he did.
There’s lots of support on there.
Twitter has filters too for people to use, you can make your account private, you can mute or even block people.
Don’t criticise something you know nothing or very little about. |

I have virtually no presence on social media. I have no interest in broadcasting my life and thoughts to the world. I don't know why anybody else would be interested either. That's just me (Luke). Hannah on the other hand is on Facebook and Twitter all the time. It upsets her a lot at the moment too. |

Summing the thread up for most commenters ‘I went on it for a short amount of time, encountered a small number of people I didn’t like so I left and now I’ll tell everyone it’s awful’ or ‘I’ve never used it but I’ll stick the boot in anyway’

Depends. I find twitter best for finding academic stuff, 'guerilla journalism' you dont find on TV news. I like the absurd surreal corner of Weird Twitter.
People are often trigger-happy and mean on it tho. Can only use it in short&sharp shocks. |

I like twitter, sadly it’s where I get most of my news coverage from about what’s happening in the world, as nowhere else covers it.
I don’t argue with people or get involved, so don’t get called any of those names. I only have 27 followers (had 22k on my last account but hated it so deleted it) and just tweet random shite.
Kinda like fab |

"Fab is incredibly tame in comparison to Twitter and Facebook.
I don't understand why people start throwing glitter around on here saying it's negative because it's a totally different atmosphere.
I think if you’ve popped yourself into twitter for a while you can definitely feel the difference on here, mild by comparison. I could live in a world of glitter though I’ve got to say "
There's glitter on Twitter if you look for it. |

Lately I’ve really got into Twitter, it’s a fascinating mix of information, humour & utter madness.
It’s a bit like here on a massive scale, you get to “know” others that interact with the same people you follow.
I’ve learnt a lot about a lot! |

I have a Twitter account that I use mainly to follow local musicians on. I very rarely write a post on there, but it is linked to my bookface account so anything I post on FB automatically re-posts to Twitter. |

Twitter is good for following things you are interested in, other than that I’m not a poster. As my younger cousins join and follow I tell them not to bother as I don’t post anything. Someone introduced me to naughty twitter, that was an eye opener |
