Twitter can be a very very toxic place but I don't understand how it can become a perpetual drama feed for people, yes, I know it happens, but there's plenty of tools to curate your experience there like blockchains, muting, making your account private and so on. Congrats on the freedom and moving on, I figure it's a great time saver to not endlessly scroll through it as well.

the same way tumblr was a perpetual drama feed for so many people so much that in fandom all you have to do is look at a fellow fan, roll your eyes, sigh, say "tumblr" and they'll respond "OH GOD I know right?"

That is, no amount of actual internet tools nor taking time out of your day to curate your feed, block, unfollow, scroll past, etc was - or is - ever enough to stop people from bingeing on misery. Social media's sucess hinges on making it difficult to curate, easier to just hang out for hours refreshing and doomscrolling, and rewarding bad behavior by increasing likes and followers for that whole arbitrary-internet-points experience. Drama always gets rewarded, always has since Jerry Springer.

A friend of mine started retweeting/commenting on discourse and suddenly that was all that Twitter was recommending to me. I eventually had to give up and unfollow this friend because no amount of trying to curate was fixing the problem of Twitter constantly promoting discourse to me. Then I had to unfriend another couple of friends because I didn't like the content they were favoriting and it was being shown to me. It was TIRING, I had to spend the majority of my time blocking shit instead of scrolling through my feed. I eventually just deleted Twitter outright. Not fucking worth it.

Oh! There's a way to get rid of recommendations and likes on your timeline if you'd like the tip.
