I use Twitter to learn about tech, promote my stuff occasionally and nothing else. I have a similar rule for muting accounts that post things that upset me, or otherwise bore me. Same goes for anyone who retweets and likes those posts and it ends up in my feed. When I am on Twitter, I don't care about US culture war stuff, I don't want to join you deplatforming everyone you dislike, I am not going to send you and your cat good vibes because you need a day longer to finish your Jira ticket. If I see posts like that, I automatically mute to keep me focused on things that matter. I prefer the mute over unfollowing. I don't want to make a statement about you by unfollowing you (it can be tracked), I just decided that reading some of your tweets cause me more stress than the positive effect your other tweets bring. I don't dislike you, I just don't want to see you moan on Twitter. It works well enough, but of course, there are some stuff that slip through.
