If you've read any of my other posts, you've probably noticed most of my posts start with tweets. That's simply because Twitter is basically a live...

Everyone: "twitter is horrible, it's a cesspool, who even uses it"
Me: but.... but its lovely? Filled with lovely people? What twitter are you all using?!
Great post Vicki, I always like seeing people recognize the good parts of the internet and social media.
Right?! What are these people doing on Twitter that makes it so awful?! I love it. Mine is so positive and wonderful.
Exactly! You can make Twitter be whatever you want, and apparently people don't bother making it the lovely place it can be.
I truly don't know of a place more positive and awesome.
Agreed. People create their own environment. I assume those are people who like to complain and like to be mad. Oh well. I'll keep enjoying our positive Twitter awesomeness
Seems like we had a vastly different experience on twitter.
What’s so different?
Lovely and filled with lovely people is the part that I have not experienced.
Over the course of the years it's core userbase attracted the exact opposite and under the guise of extremist inclusivity lost the very thing they fought for.
Maybe it's just me and my habits but I don't find it particularly resourceful :)
Wow, you’re right. I haven’t seen this lack of lovely people. I feel like it often depends on who and what you follow. I would suggest unfollowing anything that feels unhelpful and start following some things that are more helpful.
Shameless plug 🔌, if code isn’t your thing, I’d suggest following Code Questions bot. There are some awesome people who will lead you to meet other great people.
I’d also highly suggest following In_Otter_News2
This is very much why I love Twitter.
It's my blog digest, resource goto, and general "get to know the actual humans of tech" platform.
My only regret is that I haven't been able to find a EU timezone-friendly dev discission on Twitter.
Yes! I love how I get to see real people of tech.
Oh yeah, I’m not sure what times these things are for you. 😕 probably something super not realistic
They pretty much take place when Europe sleeps. I can always attach myself to a discussion after it ended but the interaction by then is very limited.
Yeah. That's such a different experience. :( It's so much better when it's live. Very much like being in a chatroom, but structured. I wonder if there are any EU-based chats.
If you find any, let me know and I'll add them to my list
Who loves Twitter???? We do!
Great post Vicki!!
Yessssss! Loooove it!
As everything, it can be used for doing wrong. Or not.
Definitely
