none of my rl friends use twitter in any meaningful way and im feel like im missing out on something
a good number of my irl friends follow me on twitter but never tweet themselves and i sometimes wonder if at some level they think that reading my tweets is us keeping up with each other even though it’s entirely unidirectional

i think if they’re fully on it or fully off it those are both fine but the worst case scenario is what i have lmao where they read but never tweet and also don’t even drop favs so i have no idea how much they’re reading.....just that they are

I frequently forget this tbh! I follow someone for a while, think how smart and lovely they are and how swimmingly we're getting along, then I remember I mostly just read their feed and don't Tweet much personal stuff on mine so... whoops!

yeah i think it’s a pitfall of all broadcast-type social media, at least twitter is medium optimized for actual interaction as well w replies (vs instagram where i rarely go past a like)

this is me but with friends from a totally different world (fashion, not tech)

I have friends like this; they barely tweet at all but text me about my tweets like a couple of times a year

Recently posted a large life milestone which was mostly liked by IRL friends who don't tweet and it made me strongly reconsider the shitpost'y nature of this account.
