Anecdata: I have the blue check, 15.5K followers, and follow exactly 0 people. I found it quite refreshing to use Lists to manage collections of people, not unlike what you would do with an RSS reader. That doesn't stop the inbound (or outbound!) barbs, complaining, and other garbage though. I've experimented with special tweets with replies disabled, deleting often, and leaving Twitter altogether. The last option of course is best for mental health but really impacted my ability to keep up with important developments in the Windows community. (I explored going private, but that'd require I get 15k people to unfollow me as they are automatically grandfathered in. Or perform the block-unblock everyone trick via API. Gee thanks Twitter.)
