Discussion on: Why Twitter?

[Meghan (she/her)]

For me it's because (everyone else is there) and I really do I like it the best. Let's take a tour through our other platforms:

• Facebook: ewww
• LinkedIn: Facebook for work
• Discord: it's new, more of a forum software, decided to only market to gamers even though they're amazing for so much more
• Slack: another forum like software, too hard to setup too
• Instagram: owned by Facebook, only has pics and DMs
• YouTube: only has videos, and bad admin at that
• Reddit: another forum, though close contender to twitter (in this scenario)
• Dev.to: great! Twitter's days are numbered
• Medium: long form
• Email: really?
• IRC: REALLY?
• StackOverflow: your question was closed by a moderator as it was not a question
• GitHub: no communication except in issues
• Facebook: honorable mention because it would be great if only it weren't owned by Facebook

Twitter is short form, has everyone, makes interacting with others seem easy and unintrusive, and has an okay admin*
