    I switched my mentions to only see people I follow last week, and twitter is a hundred times more bearable. Then this week I just started soft-blocking anyone who annoys me and blocking anyone I find even a little bit upsetting. Nobody owes you their attention!

        I am enormously privileged in the way I navigate this space and still, being a woman on the internet is a constant stream of being patronised, insulted, belittled and threatened, and I... don't have to put up with it! Sometimes I forget that. Maybe you do too.

        But maybe I don't have to spend hours of my life in a space where I just always feel quite tense and stressed and miserable! Maybe I don't have to listen to the opinions of men who think I'm much, much stupider than them! Maybe that's quite an unhealthy thing to be exposed to!

        Now if I could just stop reading the comments on YouTube videos and newspaper articles from people who hate me. Baby steps.

        To be fair, if I didn't occasionally check my wider mentions, I wouldn't have seen that some man has sent me a link to the Wikipedia page for "neoliberalism". A lot of big words, though, and I'm worried my little lady brain might not cope.

        Is soft-blocking muting?

        No, if someone follows you and you block them then immediately unblock them, they can still read your tweets but they don't follow you any more.

        Muting and blocking are the only way to 'spend' your capital to show 'marketplace of ideas' types what you think of their ideas

        this is a very wise step. I did this months ago--and I'm a guy, with far fewer followers than you, so I get way less weirdly hostile Tweets--and it's made my Twitter usage much easier

        Yeah, somebody else I follow was complaining about their timeline yesterday and was amazed how much better it was when I explained switching to seeing tweets as they happen instead of the home view.

        If you change your location to the UAE or similar then all the trending slurry in the side is in Arabic.
