Some people will respond to this positively, by muting you, but some people either don’t know that is an option or, and this is one of my heretical beliefs about the world, affirmatively prefer having someone to lash out at periodically than to be bored.

Twitter could choose a different path, to e.g. automatically deprioritize content you will find annoying. I think they don’t, extremely intentionally, because content you find annoying/offensive/etc is great for engagement.
