I feel the same as you! Twitter seems like the place where developers hang out the most, but I really don't like its UI or the tweet format in general. I feel like it's hard to have a genuine conversation about something on a platform that encourages tiny, sound-bite-like messages.
That's why I've been hanging out on dev.to lately. It feels like the best "social media" platform for developers, mostly because it's literally targeted at developers. I've had way better interactions with people on here than on any other social media site. I've actually stopped using most social media altogether, and it's really improved my mental health!
It's also nice that the community here is relatively small. I see the same people pop up frequently (like you and Amelia). It's much easier to have a conversation with someone when I know I'll see their name again soon!

Yeah, totally agree. At least they introduced spaces now, let's see how that helps with having a conversation on Twitter.
Good stuff! good to hear that for some people getting off these platforms actually make a change.
