Twitter has ended up pretty good for me. 1) I set my location to the country Chad so I don't see popular trends that aren't very interesting, or serve as sources of outrage. 2) I use the word-based content filters to omit annoying politicians or topics from my feed. So much more peaceful now that I don't have to see people's outrage at the latest political enfant terrible. 3) I primarily follow primarily historians who make fantastic long threads, film critics I respect, movie/art channels. No crazy politics stuff. Few of my friends are on it so I don't have to see their stuff either. If I want the news, I just read a few major newspapers. It works well enough for me!
