Do you actually have to pay to promote (get noticed) your messages on there?

Your posts are only visible to people who follow you. (By that I mean they only appear in the twitter feeds of people who follow you. Anyone could view your profile and see what (pish) you have been tweeting). Unless you pay to promote tweets (I assume)

So unlike insta you can't put hastags?

I have to admit to looking at it more for a balanced view on issues but just seems full of childish arguing .... reminds me of a forum I use.

Yeah, don't go on Twitter for that. Reasoned debate is not permitted. Even the most banal question can be taken as a cry of outright war.

They all seem to be addicted to it too. But don't care. 😄

Twitter is the quickest way news disseminates these days, so I follow it but don't really ever post. Select the people you follow carefully and you can curate a decent info feed.

Its an utterly toxic cesspit though.

Yes it's like gang warfare it seems.

I look at James o Briens to see his fan club blowing smoke up his arse. Mostly media commentators have little positive to say. In fact nothing.

Good for cars and bike insights tho, and even that's pretty bitchy.

I generally only use Twitter for incoming info, rarely get involved, for all the obvious reasons. Same goes in here for the main, I haven't the time or inclination these days.

I probably need more followers to make it work, trouble is most of your likes and comments will bite you one day.

Also, be aware that anything you "like" is shown on your followers feeds too.

So if you like that image of interacial midget porn, everyone will know your prefences. I always found that an odd setup TBH.

its very under-rated, the actors are always selling themselves short. Some other midgets aren't big on it, but I expect they're probably just a little racist - I wouldn't see eye to eye with them.

I hope no one on here would stoop that low, as it's pretty black and white matter, and you shouldn't make fun of other people's short cummings.

No Malice apparently won awards for her short performances in both "I wanna go up on you baby" and "Vertickly Challenged".
