Individual or brand twitter account to use?
I've two twitter accounts I manage for https://remoteleaf.com
Should I use my user account or brand twitter account to talk to my users, announcements, cold pitching and stuff like that?
Please advise!

Brand, 100%.
Unless of course your product is built on a cult of personality..... 😉
Great, do you have any reasons for choosing Brand than personal profile.
Yes. You need to build up the brand, which may just be you for now, but will be more than just you when you scale. Brand recognition is huge, so I would take every opportunity to build and promote it that I could.
I think one of the coolest things as an indiehacker is the ability to stay personal and not to be some anonymous company. I decided to start on twitter with a personal account because that's what I prefer seeing from others as well. I just don't want to create yet another company marketing account.
great, thanks for the feedback.
I would use your brand account to tweet out brand-related things such as announcements and talking to users specifically about your product - otherwise why even have a brand account? And just because it's a brand doesn't mean that you can't still be personal with your tweets :)
If you'd like, you could always retweet those announcements with your personal account since it seems like you have more followers there. But I'd imagine that people following your personal account would want to hear about more things than just the one product you're working on.
I have both my personal account and a brand account.
I retweet selected post from the brand account. My personal tweets are simply my thoughts at the moment (no effort), the brand posts are intended to be useful tips - it takes a bit off effort to write them.
That's cool. I'll check it out.
