I do FB. I do not post to my own FB page very often, sometimes months go by. Usually when there's something notable. Doesn't bother me if nobody responds, I'm posting "news" or other info that does not require a response.
It is nice seeing what others are doing, and sometimes replying to their posts.
However, I did learn early on not to "friend" everybody that asks. Not as a personal thing, but frankly post too much stuff daily that too often isn't worth reading. So you went to such-and such a place for dinner, and ate a shrimp-bacon-guacamole-pizza burger? Nice but I don't need daily updates on where you are going and where you are eating and what you are eating, and other daily activities. If only Facebook had "subchannels" people could post on, so that people could have say a family life channel and a rockets channel....I'd subscribe to the rockets channel and add to my friends list that way.
So I limited the number of folks that I add. Even though many of them would not be posting a huge amount, but I just felt I needed to keep the number limited (IIRC it's about 50-ish. If I added everyone who asked it'd be hundreds and Facebook would be so clogged it would not be worth scrolling thru. So anyone reading this who may have asked, don't take it personally, it's a keeping the list short thing. And yes I know I'm probably missing out on some really neat stuff or info, or getting to know some people better, but the over-posters sort of ruined me in that way early on.
Also, ones that post extreme political stuff, I put into "ignore" status. Don't need that crap in my life. But I don't de-friend them, so they can see what I post, and do not even know I put them on "ignore". Fortunately only three that come to mind. Also, the ones that do tend to post a bunch of stuff daily (restaurants, food, bathroom, whatever), sometimes I've also put some on ignore if it's just way too much on a regular basis.
More of my Facebook activity is on groups like the NAR page, Estes Model Rockets, Space Hipsters, SpaceX, and a few others.
I don't do Twitter. I have an account but have not used it to post in years, like say one message to try it out. Sometimes I'll check out some post on twitter I have a link for, like something from Elon Musk, or a few people (more recently, checking Chris Taylor's Twitter feed on moving into his new house in New Mexico). No subscribing.
But I never go onto Twitter for the sake of going on to Twitter.
Hated the concept of "bng vry ltd N wht cud B Sd N 1 msg 2"

. Yet I still believe I gave an honest answer. That is truly the world we live in. Ok, edit that to further state : That is the world I appear to see.
