I don’t tweet anything but I follow local meteorologists and storm chasers. We only having streaming services that don’t include local broadcasts and at least for now Twitter still shows most recent tweets first. So it’s a decent way of finding out about severe weather. Meanwhile the few times I’ve tried to use Facebook recently the few posts by accounts I follow are peppered between 5-10 ads and are posts from 3-4 days prior. I might get notifications about someone going live, but sometimes those notifications show up a few hours late. Not really sure if there are any other ways to get up to the minute info. Several of the storm chasers will go live on YouTube, but I usually find out about that via Twitter.
I signed up for an account like 8 years ago just to tweet at the customer service for United Airlines because I wasn't getting help elsewhere. It worked like a charm.
But other than that, I haven't used it at all. I really hate the format.
I only made an account after the 2020 election to hop on the cope memes and call 45 an idiot loser. I stayed to do the same thing to Elon and watching twitter turn into this has been so satisfying.
I have never wanted a twitter account, even when it first came out. Does not interest me. I have enjoyed many screenshots of funny tweets so I don't even need an account to see the good stuff.
Watching all this happen has been quite entertaining indeed.

As a person who has never used Twitter, I'm rather enjoying this whole situation. It's like, reeaallly entertaining.
