Have not been what you would call an active Twitter user.
I have followed leads to the platform by way of links found on the web and embedded within emails.
We joined Parler a couple of months ago. While the content at this point seems to be mostly conservative, a balance is evolving. Parler's main principle is the protection of freedom of speech.
You can find me at Parler with the handle @JohnOtis.
Facebook is another matter. The founder has been erratic in application of policies, Facebook is suppressing speech and an unfairly favoring liberal policies and candidates. Facebook has been acting as a publisher by restricting content and should loose its protection from libel suits. Frankly it pisses me off that these assholes make money off of my use of their platform. Unfortunately I consider that platform to be a collection of my friends and keeping that in mind, try to treat friends as I wish to be treated, kindly. Not everyone recognizes that, so I use the snooze control often.
YouTube is a component part to platform upon which this blog rests. They have been censoring expression, reporting, and speech. Have kept my account open, using YouTube for technical research and such. Social video viewing has, for me, been replaced by Rumble. As soon as that platform contains the bulk of the information I want, I will quit usage.
