baseline trick is to mute/unfollow not the trolls and obvious shitstirrers or beef knights/mooks but the earnest ones who seem to actually care. Avoid the prey, predators and parasites cease to matter Second trick is to only follow people whose eigentopics are not culture war

both are posthoc explanations earnestposters I unfollowed because they are boring latter pattern emerged when I started following people who answered my idle questions, which tend to be random people who share random info on twitter tend not to culture-war much

both seem to heavily dampen CW content in feed
 you can’t mute/block your way out of hellsite stuff you have to also flood feed with everything else you’re actually into

I think a big mistake made by people who have a bad time on twitter is coming here to only plug into a narrow interest or two. Very fragile. Minimum number of interests you should bring here is 100.

I think the twitter feed algorithm (it is at work even when set to ‘latest’) is actually far better than people give it credit for. While some people have targets on their backs they can’t help, most people unconsciously seek hell and blame the algorithm for bringing it to them

Kinda feeling smug about being an aerospace engineer who likes aerospace content on twitter and *still* managing to almost completely miss the “Lockheed Martin” outrage cycle (which has nothing to do with aerospace) 😎 That is some good filter-fu
