If I was being really honest with myself, I think twitter stopped being healthy for me at around 5000 followers. (This isn't actually me being honest with myself. It's just me noting it abstractly and taking absolutely no action because social validation hits good.)https://twitter.com/jordantcarlson/status/1174000150055964672 …

And I mean that for me, at my level of following. But I scroll through someone like
@AstroKatie's mentions sometimes and it's just like, damn your social brain has to get some pretty big calluses to deal with this (which isn't good) or you take it all personally (which is worse).Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

"For political science / sociology / anthropology twitter, abuse is really exhausting". Is the abuse internal to the community or coming from external sources?

I think the worst comes from external sources. But, a strong contender is from cross-disciplinary. E.g. someone makes a banal claim that has huge implicit context in their discipline, but people outside of it project theirs.https://twitter.com/generativist/status/1167254858279215104 …

For me, Twitter got WAY MORE HEALTHY at around 4k followers - but that's because my twitter usage became largely mission-driven around Neurodiversity. This has been an amazing way to
#findTheOthers even if much of this hell-site is awful! :)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
