I've never engaged. Always seemed the kind of place were the negative could overpower your good will in a flash.
If anyone cares to offer an opinion, if you do use twitter may I ask why?
What do you learn?
Is it good for interesting information?
Is it the 'playground' it seems to be to my eyes?
I'm genuinely interested in why.
Have a good day. |  |

I use it to get the Town team news an hour before kick off and Town news updates, in my other interest motor sport, BTCC, Porsche Carrera Cup UK, WEC races, you get news and updates on qualifying quickly and easily. You just select which person, team or club to follow. |  | | |

It's handy for me professionally, I don't see much value in it for social networking. |  |

I read it just for @realdonaldtrump because I continue to be gobsmacked by him and his weird followers.
As for the negative being overwhelming I find twtd fits the bill. |  | | |

It can be very much like living in a bubble. So I try to mix up who I follow.
I rarely post anything in twitter. Mostly use it as a reader than a contributor. |  |

For me, it's superb. Get amazing photos of places all over the world that I'll never go to, make buddies all over the world that I'd never otherwise have met, read fiction & poetry before it's published, see art I'd never otherwise have seen.
In practical terms - get news of local road closures, "what's on" & other important stuff I'd not have got from elsewhere & certainly not so quickly, have instant access & get quick responses from companies who don't answer phone or email complaints (they hate the publicity), see stuff like gorgeous hand-carved & polished wooden trinket boxes for sale.
Interest chat with other likeminded people on whatever - dogs, renewables, gardening, humour, politics, current events, music, films etc etc.
It's great for campaigning because of the hashtag and Re-Tweet facility - a tweet can quickly get traction to achieve a million+ views.
Very importantly, it has a total block facility - unlike here, if someone's being persistently abusive, you can block them which means they can no longer see your tweets, as well as you not seeing theirs. They also have a 'mute' facility, which is equivalent to the 'ignore' on here. |  |

If you like fake news or fake stories from people trying to get attention for themselves then its great. The amount of people who were allegedly threatened with violence by hardcore-Tory activists over their refusal to clap for the NHS was amazing. It's almost as if Cummings and co. were marauding the streets demanding people clapped.... yet in an age where everything is filmed or photoed the people didn't seem to have any evidence of it happening beyond their own tweet..... and if you want to be a good guy on Twitter, NEVER, and I mean NEVER, ask for evidence for anything! Also the Corona-virus is a hoax thing and masks are communism is equally hilarious lunacy from the other side of the political coin. It's just all great! |  |

It's just pure comedy from my perspective. Anyone who thinks a Government who can't even form a cohesive mask policy or sort out school exams is capable of a large corona conspiracy to get everyone on vaccines in order to make millions while costing the economy and their corporate allies billions is an absolute maniac. They couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery! Thats why they are politicians.... they we'rent good enough to do real jobs.
Twitter is great for nonsense! | |

Been on it for the last few months for the first time and it just seems to be an excuse for people to be openly hostile to each other rather than talk about stuff normally |  | | |

Like I said, all depends who you follow - hashtags on things you're interested in are a good place to start.
I'd be happy to suggest good people to follow depending on individual interests if anyone wants. | |

Use it a lot for work but often can be misleading for example the last general election reading twitter you would have thought JC was going to win easily
Maybe an indication of who uses it ? |  | | |

You are aware that the people spouting there views are a minority and you can ignore them, right? I never see any of this nonsense on my twitter feed because I don't follow feckwits. | |

A down-vote over twitter. Your definitely one of them!
Do you foam with rage over Lord Sugars tweets as well, or send death threats to celebrities you don't like or agree with? How many hours a day do you spend blocking those you don't agree with?
Twitter = comedy. If your on it seriously, look at yourself! | |

In case you hadn't noticed, this place has an occasional one such as yourself.
At least on there I can block abusive people who make up stuff or post lies & defamatory comments, as you've just done. 1 minute once a month average is all that's needed. Unfortunately I can't do the same to you on here. | |

I use it for my music stuff. I do a radio show and it is a brilliant way to be in touch with bands, labels, pr companies, venues etc.
If you look on there for mainly political stuff it is a sh1tshow.
If you look on there for football stuff there is some decent stuff. |  |

I don’t tweet anymore but it makes an excellent news feed if you follow the right journalists and accounts.
I have a mix of stuff the MSM never seem to cover properly if at all (mostly Russian election interference and Epstein stuff via Anonymous/Carole Cadwalladr), lefties I agree with, righties I despise (know your enemy), UFOs, football and music.
I watch the replies to many of the accounts and play “Spot the Bot” too. Fun to figure out where the propaganda is coming from (and how much of it is our own government). [Post edited 22 Aug 2020 20:19]
