As of this month I'm not posting much to Twitter anymore. I used to post the same stuff on Twitter and on another microblogging platform called Mastodon, and now I'm really just posting on my Mastodon account. I wrote a post about Mastodon and the Fediverse, why I chose the instance I'm on, and why if you're on Mastodon.social you may want to treat that like the general "lobby" that America On-Line chat threw users into when they first joined.
