I never really participated in Twitter, actively deleted my X account when it was created for me.
I did try a little on Bluesky, but felt like the whole thing was a goad to get you to self-promote. If you don't say popular things, nobody will read anything you say kind of thing. Anytime I would post I felt myself sub-consciously gauging "what's this going to do for/to my visibility profile, will I gain or lose followers?" F that. I have better things to do with my life than worry about people I don't know adding me to their circle or putting my account on block lists.
