I've deleted Facebook long ago. I can't understand how Twitter works: 140 characters is too short to express any meaningful opinion, and when I post something, I get close to 0 views. My feed (carefully curated with a list of devs/tech-related sources) is increasingly filled with engagement/click-bait/drama posts like "who else likes to drink coffee while coding?" I also can't use it effectively for my open-source project/company. With fewer than 500 followers, the number of interactions is null. I maintain a presence just to avoid leaving a void. It's probably a full-time job, but not one I'm willing to take on, and it feels like 100% bullshit most of the time.

The only platform where I can have more meaningful interactions for my company is LinkedIn. I can easily react to a post, gain some followers, or make connections. However, every time I scroll through the feed, I'm baffled by the amount of garbage posted there: all these fake stories about how a pigeon taught someone a lesson on finding product-market fit...

So, personally, I'm done with any of these platforms, but for a company, I would say LinkedIn still has some merit. Maybe also because it's an all in one: connect with people, post company's updates, recruit, create events, etc. As for alternatives, I know none.
