Weeelllll, priorities may be just a bit different when living in a territory annexed by the literal Nazis. Not using Twitter doesn't really just have the same urgency as the Gestapo rounding up your neighbors.

Not that I'd be caught dead using Twitter, especially now that that reich-wing manbaby and waste of perfectly good carbon Musk owns it. I created an account ~15 years ago because I had to test the Twitter integration of a thingamajig at work, but I never used it for anything else. I did read some Twitter stuff in the early days of the Ukraine invasion via one of the frontends, but so much of it was garbage that I stopped bothering after a while

You really don't want to be using the social media that's effectively run by the same people as the gestapo. It's super likely to be controlled at this point, and thus not effective for activism or otherwise underground action/defense in a fascistic country

You want to be on a more uncontrolled internet place, where communication can be more effective. Communication and coordination is vital
