I have never saw any need for Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and Tik Tok. I will admit that I was a bit peeved at DU when posters began reposting tweets, especially the Orange Blob's tweets. I stopped going on DU at first. I couldn't believe we were sinking to that level. But here we are. I happen to believe that social media isn't true communication and that it is detrimental to our society.
