Racists, resentments, prejudices or just plain idiocy and ignorance, the call for genocide - everything has it's place in Zuckerberg's little empire.

But don't post boobs. That's really bad and will be removed instantly.

Back before I deleted my FB account, I seen all kinds of horrible shit on there. Ranging from animal abuse to real beheading videos. Not to mention all the annoying game requests that I still used to receive despite blocking them in my account options. Twitter is getting bad these days, but in a completely different way, because SJWs actually wield power on there through the "Trust and Safety council".

Real life is quite a treat, tbh.

You follow anyone from AF on there?

Yeah I hated that too... all the millions of pointless guilt trips doing the rounds. I never share or copy and paste anything like that... I'm not gonna propagate that crap.

But I don't use that often, or even post. I just lurk.

You know how behind the times I always am... with streaming and everything else... well... I've never used Twitter or even seen it

You should definitely check it out.

It'll take a little bit of getting used to though.

No. Not against it. I've just never seen a thread where people share Twitters. It's always been Facebooks. 

Most of my followed accounts are soccer, and primarily women's. But I follow some news sites, other sports sites,  and some people currently/formerly from Buzzfeed or facts.

Okay, thank you, I'll have a look then

I've just always wondered though what use it would be if you can only write short posts... I mean what can you say in 50 characters? If you don't mind me asking, what do you use it for? As compared to say facebook or here?

Whatever happened to your FB account?
Did they get to you again, or did you close it yourself, this time?

140 characters.

You can actually say quite a lot, and if need be, make multiple posts (obviously).

Yes indeed, multiple posts (also Tweetlonger). Also, it's nteresting, and impressive, what can be said with such brevity. You just need to know how to shorthand things.
