New here? Remember that Twitter is optimized to make you into passive consumers, by en(r/g)aging you with content that you don't choose yourself.
Here, that doesn't happen. But it also means you're responsible to find people to follow.
It will take some work.
If you're willing to put that in, you'll find a wide variety of friendly people that will be happy to have meaningful conversions and laugh and cry together with you.
Start by searching and looking at who other people follow.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower

How many houses for homeless people could you build with $110 million? How many students could study? How many immigrants could get a good start?
What’s the return of investment into our own society of a drone vs helping people live productive lives?
I miss the early days of the web when it wasn’t an endless struggle against Nazis trying to convince everyone that genocide is a political opinion
What’s the website that everyone can contribute to and that is a collaborative effort to store all knowledge and wisdom of humanity?
