I personally rely on a few different social media platforms, but the one that I use the most is Twitter. I find that it's a great way to stay up to date on news and current events, as well as connect with like-minded individuals and engage in interesting conversations. I also appreciate the brevity of tweets, as it forces me to be concise in my thoughts and opinions.

However, I also recognize the value of other platforms such as Instagram for visual content and LinkedIn for professional networking. It ultimately depends on your personal and professional goals, as well as your target audience.

Not really into social media but I personally prefer Dev.to since I get more responses when I have questions, as opposed to using LinkedIn which is a waste of time to me honestly.

everyone saying dev.to makes the comment section looks like written by bots lol
But I agree, I like this platform because its simple and the whole content is technical.

Medium.com is def worth browsing through once or twice a week

I wasn't aware before, but there is at least one comment that does sound like it was written by chatGPT.
