Facebook is nearing a reputational point of no return

    To me, this is what makes Twitter (and Instagram 
    and anything else aimed at talking to the public) 
    mostly useless. I don't want to hear about the 
    day-to-day lives of Twitter randos at all or 
    follow celebrity gossip.

I enjoy Twitter a lot and my feed is 0% randos and celebrities.

It's about 50% friends I know personally and 50%... well, not "celebrities" but like... local personalities, independent musicians, leaders of open source projects, etc. The ones I follow are actually very responsive to replies which is very very cool and useful to me.

I'm not sure where else I could easily and enjoyably aggregate that stuff.

I guess I just don't have a particular desire for that to be integrated into the same system I use to talk to my friends. To me FB is just a replacement for AIM with some conveniences like being able to look people up by name. If I want aggregated tech news I just come here, if I want to know what someone specific like Stallman is up to, I'll go to his site or send him an email.

I don’t even use the feed. Just private lists, and I avoid adding journalists.
