> Facebook> Twitter
Why would I want a Facebook account at this point, who even goes there anymore?
> Women should not join WhatsApp groups
Would love to hear your attempts to justify this position.
I feel twitter is trending downhill at this point. Recent changes mean you see lots of garbage whether you chose to or not. Perhaps this is inevitable with social media.

This is almost comically self delusional. Seems like you are just validating the platforms you already like (are hooked on).

who asked?
Instagram and TikTok - Delete this nonsense if you have any self respect. Why would you, a grown adult, be engaging with a platform where people share information via frivolous pictures and video clips.
Facebook - Yes you should have a Facebook account, and you should use it to stay in touch and up to date with friends and family. You should log in every few days and “like” some posts, give people a little bit of validation which they’ll appreciate. Occasionally post a holiday snap or a funny anecdote.
Whatsapp - women probably should not join whatsapp groups (except immediate family), but it is a good medium for banter among male friends.
Twitter - It’s reasonable to spend a lot of time reading Twitter, given the quality of content and its primacy in global discourse. You must disable “media preview” so that it’s text-only by default. Your account should be anonymous, or at least, not obviously associated with your real name and real identity, given that it’s public by default. In general it’s a mistake to become too invested in your online persona - I suspect most social media addicts make this mistake. Contribute sparingly. Forget “the algorithm” - carefully curate your feed and unfollow anyone with a bad signal-to-noise ratio, or who tweets excessively.
