Do You Tweet?

I have two accounts on Twitter. I use one for my writing persona and one for following politics. Once in a while I respond on the political one to something particularly ignorant, hateful, or just plain false that people, including politicians and pundits, write in their Tweets.
Evidently, a certain heavily cosmetically surgically redesigned young Republican pundit on Fox took exception to my pointing out she was lying about something and reported me to the Twitter Police resulting in my being placed in Twitter Jail for 12 hours. In all honesty, it may not have been pointing out the lie that landed me in my time-out, but my accurately describing her as a "vacuous bimbo."
This description may have been unfair in the eyes of some. Spot on in the eyes of most who follow the inanities she tweets and says on Fox. As a lover of the First Amendment and Freedom of Speech, I take it as a badge of honor that I bothered this fascist bigot enough that she reported me. It will be the jewel in my crown if, when my time-out is over, I learn that she has blocked me as well.
Are you active on Twitter? Have you ever tried it? What do you use it for?

I have Twitter. Two accounts. One for my blog. One for personal. I don't use either often.

@thislittlepennyearns I take guilty pleasure in pointing out to a certain major political office holder and his followers all the lies he tells and how wrong he is about almost everything.

@DWDavis I don't follow politicians or politics in Twitter. I don't need more stupidity in my life..

I have a Twitter account, but I very rarely tweet. Too vicious.

Are you older than Donald Trump or you just don't have a reason? I'll believe the part about not having a reason. 
My husband is in his 60s but he sees no reason for social media at all!

@DWDavis that's exactly why I don't have an account. I see enough on Facebook

I've been on there ten years and have nearly 4,000 followers. I used it to promote blog posts. Nowadays I seldom tweet unless I have a customer complaint about some big firm (it has sometimes paid off).

@DWDavis Even if that is true, I think it is still a good thing that you are active on there. There is an expectation that creatives will have a social media presence.

I have my personal account for tweeting with friends, favorite celebs, retweeting stuff, etc. I'm on it almost every day.
I also have my business/work account, which I use for sharing articles, Fiverr gigs, etc. I don't use it often tho.
