No. Have never used Twitter.

My 23 followers would be quite alarmed they suddenly see a blue tick next to my name and I can't afford to lose any, so I'd say probably not.

 

[Cius]

No, never used twitter.

Stop looking at twitter and read the room.

Who is Twitter? Ah yes, the company that now belongs to Twatter.

 

[stefan9]

No

I voted other -- Elon said the price will depend on your region. $8/month is a bit steep, but if he offers it at say R300/year in SA then yes, no brainer.

He might be behaving like an idiot right now in many ways but he tends to build products that people want to use. His ramblings are annoying but he does have some points around bots on social media being a problem.

Twitter > Facebook imo.

I've gotten an amazingly fun well paying remote tech job thanks to the people I've met on twitter. It's far more valuable than Facebook and LinkedIn if you use it right.

 

[Goosfrabba]

Will need to dust off my Twitter account first. And no, definitely wouldn't pay

 

[DreamKing]

I won't pay, but that is reasonable.

 

[PaulGherkin]

I will pay if certain conditions are met relating to bots/trolls.

I only use my twitter thingy for checking a link someone posts on MyBB so that would be a heck no from me
