Earlier this year, I decided to join Twitter as a means of professional networking and to keep up with what researchers in my field are doing.
But the toxicity of discourse across Twitter, particularly on anything approaching political, was too much to handle and I deleted my account.
Has anyone else had this sort of experience?

- KKPMW 6y agoI created twitter about a month ago with the intention of using it like a multi-purpose RSS feed and reader. I decided to only tweet about updates and new content from my side. And then to find others that work in areas I care about and follow them. Trouble is - nobody else seems to use twitter like that. They post memes, retweet things, share their political opinions, ask questions, get into discussions, and I see all of that when I follow them. It's just too noisy, currently haven't deleted it but heavily considering the option.
