  • All SM accounts are just tools, and like any tool their usefulness depends on which tool you’re using and how you use it.

    I’ve had FB for years and I use it daily for family stuff (my family is spread about a bit), bikes, music and football. It’s a useful tool in that respect. I have both a Twitter and IG account, but I’ve used Twitter maybe half a dozen times, and I only got it so I could chase up some gig tickets a few years back. I’ve never posted a tweet of my own because I can’t see why anyone I don’t really know would be interested in my thoughts. I got IG during lockdown so I could watch some live gigs by Fyfe Dangerfield, and that’s it. Apart from that I can’t see what IG offers other than the others.

    Like I said, they’re tools. Just use them to make things of your own.

  • what IG offers

    A clean UI, but the compromise is it's less useful for anything much other than curation/promotion. The way FB has incrementally added features over the years makes it useful like you say, but horrible to use. If I could sack off everything but marketplace and groups I would.
