To all complaining that twitter is full of hate. Have you ever tried using twitter without the search feature, or clicking on hashtags? I'm following a lot of interesting people and I find the content fascinating.
- kingsuper20 5y agoThe best way to improve it would be an optional UI that didn't show comments to posts. Everyone time I read those, and I can't help it sometimes, I lose a little more faith in humanity. The real rabbit hole is to click on a particularly pungent response's source. It's always some guy with tens per day rude bon mots to his favorite enemies.
- pochamago 5y agoI strongly recommend using any unofficial Twitter app. My experience significantly improved once I stopped seeing "liked" tweets from people I follow. I don't even understand what the point of that is, if they wanted to share those with their followers they'd retweet it
- JD557 5y agoI think using the tweetdeck interface (https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/ https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/) also helps, since it doesn't show recommended tweets.
- AznHisoka 5y agoFor me, Twitter is immensely useful only if I use the search feature.
- gsjjsjsbsb 5y agoIf you follow any trans people there will be hate in the replies. Also most prominent cis women.
- ad404b8a372f2b9 5y agoI follow a carefully curated list of people in my field but invariable hate gets on my feed. People slip and can't resist liking a tweet about a recent controversy, or giving their sociopolitical hot-take, and then you get exposed to it even when they tweet 99% of the time about math. I agree the content can be absolutely invaluable and fascinating otherwise, but I just couldn't deal with the seeping toxicity in the end.
- cobalt 5y agotwitter lets you mute words so posts with them don't show up (from anyone I believe). I highly recommend it
