No, You Would Not Benefit From Social Control Media
And no, your site doesn't miss out by staying out of worthless, time-wasting, addictive platforms which attract abuse
Many years ago this site added an account in Twitter (Social Control Media). It didn't depend on it, but it had presence there. Susan handed over this account to us in 2013 and eventually it was abandoned entirely in 2023. There was nothing to lose anyway, seeing that the site had a new owner and would soon be rebranded as X. More recently, this toxic Social Control Media got filled with bots and chatbots, i.e. more things that can waste real users' time or steal their attention.
If you still use sites like these and have good reasons (or excuses), it's time to reassess and reconsider. Facebook's CEO has said in public that he intended to do the same to Facebook (and sibling sites such as Instagram) as MElon did to Twitter/X. You might "feel" like there is still a lot of activity there, but more and more of it will be fake (bots). It's a shallow, meritless, baseless mirage of importance. The Federation has similar but other problems. █
