Looking at the new version of the poll, I was never a Twitter user in the first place.

Yeah, it pretty much felt like a dumpster fire from jump.

There were some virtues to be found there at one time, but not enough to convince me to make the jump in, and then, well, what happened happened.

I tried Mastodon and I tried Bluesky, but neither one was ever gonna feel like Twitter did back when it was "good." I still have accts but have not used them in months/years.

I am mostly on Instagram and here. The former because it has a good D&D crafter community.

Oh and one social media platform ENworld predated and outlived that @Morrus did not list is the granddaddy of them, FRIENDSTER!

It was a highly siloed site. Black Twitter and Gay Twitter, for instance, were really supportive and rich communities that were more or less completely separate from Journalism Twitter or Politics Twitter.
