I'd been away from Twitter for 2 weeks -- not by choice. Scrolling again today, and the stupidity, aggressiveness, and meanness feel overwhelming. Maybe staying away is the wiser option.

The great thing about Twitter is that you can read live thoughts from interesting people. The terrible thing is that any random troll can @ them their brain farts. Users can choose who to follow. They should also be also to disable replies from people they don't follow.

I don't get why I am forced by the app to give a wide public platform to these guys. Being away from Twitter was psychologically freeing -- no daily insults, no constant influx of gross ignorance and stupidity and dudes being mad at what they imagine other people are like.pic.twitter.com/u04dQ1WExx

Google is one of the biggest companies in the world affecting livelihood of millions of people. I know it's not your responsibility to listen to any random person since you just work on deep learning stuff, but if Google had some authentic smart public facing twitter personalitie
