I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin.
Back in the day, I had a geekcode which I'm not going to share with you.
418 I'm a teapot.
I still have a Twitter account, but I've been using it for a different class of posting for a long time now, and I've done what I did on Facebook years ago - started whittling down my follow list until it's just people I don't have any other way of keeping in touch with.
I do pop on from time to time, but usually it's from links to tweets I see on Imgur and I want to verify that, yes, so-and-so did actually say such-and-such and isn't-the-world-a-terrible-place?
Social media moves on. If your business depends on one particular company, then it's an unstable business. That might be a problem for some people, and it might even be something I symapthise with, but it's like supporting the coal industry at this point.
People are moving from Twitter because of the culture (or lack of it). I did that, yes, but originally I moved from Twitter because centralised social media should be a thing of the past.
An exercise I like to do is to imagine what a particular part of society would be like in some far-off Star Trek post-scarcity utopia. Then I look at the options available today and wonder which are on that path, and which are the ones that will make 30th century schoolkids the most incredulous.
