I’ve only used it to contact businesses as it can be pretty efficient for that & I follow a few comdians. I don’t ever tweet though, never really got it.

I use it to get news and information, don't post that much, but I've noticed the scale of abuse that gets posted now on almost every news article. It's ridiculous.
You can't shut it down but they could start by blocking the abusers

BUT it can be a nightmare as well: ive had instances when people have come for me because of my friendship with a person who was on a well known reality tv show
That's a heartwarming story.
I'm intrigued as to who your reality star friend is 😂

I’ve used twitter to contact BA and Iberia and doing it quicker to get a response that way. I don’t use it at all unless with a company. Faceache ( Mick I’ve nicked your terminology), I’ve culled and only use it for Team RH and close friends and family and that side of it is rare. Instagram, snapchat passed me by. Watsap is the favoured one for me family and friends.

Interestingly, I covered this topic in an English class a few weeks ago. None of the 56 students I teach use FB etc only watsap and only with people they know. Facebook, is, they say, for old people. And they say the young have no sense

I don't mind using WhatsApp as I have it on my Windows 10 laptop and find it considerably easier to type on than a phone

Please feel free to use any new words that I coin. I think I've seen Faceache before though

Yes! I’ve said this so many times... how is it acceptable for world leaders to tweet utter cr*p and also tweet each other abuse. Imagine if WW3 started because of a twitter spat... although, in complete hypocrisy, Trump calling Sadiq Khan a ‘Stone Cold Loser’ for denying London had a knife/gang problem was hilarious.

Still, it shouldn’t be happening.

Twitter is great imo, yes it requires better regulation... but what social media platform doesn't these days?

I mostly use it to follow comedians and to make complaints to companies as you'll normally get a quicker response than email/phone.

Can never see it being banned with 145 million daily active users.

I love Twitter! I use it more than Facebook. Twitter just needs to be harsher on trolls and abuse. So does every social media platform.

I could on my Windows Surface Tablet before it gave up and I'm currently typing this on my HP Windows 10 laptop.

Joan can't WhatsApp on her iPad though.

You have to have an existing WhatsApp account though. Don't think that it's a Microsoft App but I access through their web site and have it saved as a favourite on the top bar.

Very occasional it drops out and I have to scan a QR code on my laptop screen with my mobile.

That's the limit of my techy knowledge
