Say what you will about Twitter, but at least the insults there are direct and tend to stay exclusive to Twitter - as opposed to neighbors convincing each other of the worst or your ability to land a job being sabotaged because your profile doesn't have enough keywords.

Most of my family and friends stopped using Facebook around 2015, and Instagram is predominantly for young people, vain people, or photographers.
