I've never had a Twitter account and I'm genuinely curious what everyone seems to love about it (or hate about it)

I joined because a company who ran a creative product I used ended up using it as their primary comms channel. So a scene and community formed there, because it was the only way to stay up to date.

I ended up following quite a few people from that community, and I never use the algorithm feed - all I see is posts about games, art, music etc made by the community and it's where I share or promote my own games and other work.

I never see any other twitter garbage or drama in the course of average use. I have seen the shit thats out there, and as fucking abysmal as it is, it's no better or worse than default/popular reddit, which I equally avoid.
