Counterpoint: If you mute people the first time they say something dumb or performative, you spend a lot less time muting threads, because repeat offenders are responsible for most of the low-quality discourse on twitter.

escalation order 1. mute threads 2. mute words 3. mute people people seem to jump to level 3 far too easily when 1 or 2 would do... and announce it with flouncy drama

the downside is many otherwise interesting people who have interesting feeds have a couple of blindspots where they derp on in dumb and performative ways... so I tend to reserve mute mainly for annoying reply people, if someone is generally annoying unfollow is called for
