    Mental health skyrocketed once I deleted Twitter lol place went off the rails around 2019

    Came here to post this lol. Joined in 2011 and was on there daily until mid 2021 and the difference in my mental health (not to mention ability not to get riled up by headlines) is notable

    You recently joined Twitter? That's like getting into crop-dusting after 9/11

    I just browse my Lists sometimes. Also there are browser plugs for removing trending, for you, etc clickbait. Uninstall the app. Use your phone browser. Idk, there are easy ways to minimize it

    If you stay off 'For You' it's pretty easy to avoid this. my actual feed is just s*** that I like and I don't ever experience the fake outrage bullshit unless someone makes a thread about it on here.

    its literally impossible to avoid this on reddit though, thats far worse imo

    i f***ing hate that the for you page is the default now and it’s just a swipe away

    it was much better when you had to change it with a button and it stayed that way

    For You is really a bad place to be. Click on the first tweet and it is flooded with hardcore racist discussion. Then you realize it is almost every post in there. They just push whatever they want 😭

    I have a work twitter and my For You is all the Guru's trying to sell their coaching services. I'd rather have the toxic discussions back lo

    go for the buddist mono option.

    remember the reactionary option is usually hive mind thinking.

    if you a***zyed your thoughts deeper before posting, youd realize you actually dont care
