I'm starting to feel like Twitter is becoming a bad influence on my mental health. I'm not sure what to do about it cause I don't want to quit, but I might completely stop checking mentions for a month as an experiment. idfk how ppl with more followers than me handle it

you know you can set your mentions to be follows only right? huge impact for me, did it way back. if that still isn’t enough you can unfollow a bunch of people 😛 either way, good luck 🙏

Post what you want to say, then leave. Reading the responses has little value. Ironically, I’m saying this in a response to you. But the two main things it does are give you an ego boost when someone agrees with you or make you feel bad when someone is a dick. Just don’t look.

If I can offer some suggestions, muting/unfollowing can help. Or you may appreciate the Twitter Demetricator plugin that turns off likes and RTs

I think at some point once people get to a certain large number of followers, they turn off mentions for anyone not following them, then anyone they aren't following, and then they just ignore them entirely.
