I've deliberately tried to avoid posting anything about Facebook or Twitter lately even though there have been numerous opportunities to do so. The way I look at it, although I have deleted my accounts on both networks, if I keep going back to them, focusing on them, then I'm ... colinwalker.blog

@colinwalker I’ve never really done much on FB although I have an account it doesn't draw me. I am still pretty active on twitter. The folk I read are pretty nice and I don’t see the ugliness that many report. I would rather move away to my own spaces and aggregations like Micro.blog but the community of educators, which is important to me, is well entrenched in twitter.

@johnjohnston If it works for you then that’s great. It probably stems from sitting within a niche. “Education Twitter” is obviously a nice place.

@colinwalker I have very mixed feelings about Facebook. I want to quit because of all the obvious reasons. But so far all my friends from all over the world are there in one place. Unfortunately I see no way to really stay in contact in any other (convenient for everyone) way.

@hutaffe It’s a problem and Facebook has far too much power but, as you say, short of getting everyone to move you’re stuck.
