Never could see any positives from the "stream of consciousness" type of particpation in social media. I myself have gone farther and have never participated at all on Facebook, Twiter, et. al.

Closest thing I've ever had to a social media presence is here on HN, where I deliberately remain anonymous.

I actually like Reddit as well. You can remain pseudonymous there if you so choose and still have meaningful interactions with people. And (depending on the sub) people don't form mobs as easily as on Twitter/Facebook.

Social media without moderators was a really bad idea, as we learn now.
