    I like Twitter for following news, musicians I enjoy and sharing/receiving inspiration.

    Neither. I have Twitter but only to follow my favourite authors etc. Oh and to make sure I messed up ex's successfully. So far, so good.

    just saying.... hard to move on like that

    Just saying...I guess it's hard to detect humour ;)

    i thought it was a joke but i also thought it had some truth into it too. guess i was wrong.....just saying

    I generally use Facebook for family, Instagram for friends, and Twitter for news and current events info. I haven't been on Twitter since before November 2016.

    I use FB for friends and family and to see a few fun memes here and there. Twitter for the geek in me... I rarely post there but read it semi regularly.

    I don't have either. I deleted my real Facebook about 4 years ago. I made a fake FB profile since a FB profile is needed to sign into certain apps.

    I'm much happier since my wife and I deactivated our Facebook accounts in 2013.
    I still use Twitter, but only for finding news articles.

    Wife loves Pinterest.
    We both like LinkedIn.

    All the social media sites are really odd unless you use it enough with consistency to find it's usefulness and personality, and tune out noise, and unplug sometimes, and each system actually very cool in their own unique way.

    I had a twitter one time, but I deleted it. Not a lot of my friends have a twitter. I use Facebook so as to connect with family and friends, and to also upload a whole album of photos. but only some of my friends check fb.... Lol. I also have to use Facebook for work stuff (boss uses group page for updates).

    I have snap chat, which I use once in a while. IG is probably the only social media app where my friends actually do their stuff on there, so therefore I use IG way more. Only thing is that I have to watch myself because boy I'm telling you there are lots of creepers who like shoot messages in the DM. Lol

    FB bugs me and I don't keep up with it enough but I'm on it because my closest family members are, and half the time they no longer call or email, they "post it all on FB" and I'm expected to look there.

    FB is so dumb to me. The rarer times I post, people answer IMMEDIATELY, how the hell does anybody keep up with a wall of constant posts going up? Same with Twitter. OMG. I just don't know.

    I'm one of those people who say "If Facebook frustrates you that much, you should deactivate your account." Then, of course, people make excuses, and roll their eyes, and don't take me seriously.

    All I know is that I'm happier without it.

    I'm one of those people who say if you're kinda self-centered about life's tiny aggravations and are glad to be entirely antisocial as regards your own family. the majority of whom make announcements, plans, get-togethers, etc. via Facebook, have at it, hoss, and by the way, I AM gettin' off yer lawn, relax already.

    I'm glad you're happi(er), though! That's a good thing.

    I have Facebook and prefer it to Twitter. I have a rather large family and I live some distance away (from my friends as well). So it helps to keep up with people I don't get to see very often. One side of my family also has a group, and they post family news when there is any. I've also found it helpful for finding and inviting other people to local events, especially concerts, races, and art festivals. However, I will mention that I keep my friend list fairly small (~150) and only people I know IRL. I will also unfollow someone for just about any reason (too boring, political, religious, serious, etc.). I think I've unfollowed like 90% of my friend list. It keeps my home page fairly drama free.

    I might still have a twitter. I went on it a couple times and found it kind of useless. I haven't been on since.

    I like FB. It's a nice way to keep in touch with friends and family I like.
