If your Twitter feed is angry then maybe you have angry friends. That’s not a reflection on Twitter. Mine has a lot of inspiration and positivity.

- gardenhedge 5y agoThis is not a good take. Despite who you follow, Twitter shows you random stuff and also shows you the trending section. That section is just full of controversial things.
- oneeyedpigeon 5y agoI've personally hidden the trending section - fair point, though. But that was the only time I really saw 'random stuff'.
- NaturalPhallacy 5y agoI deliberately ignore the trending section because twitter has a 'trends blacklist'. So it's Twitter Management Approved Trending™, not what's actually trending.
- fleddr 5y agoThis comment is made very often but it doesn't negate the point. The discussion is not about one's individual experience, it's about the general cultural phenomenon that is Twitter. When extremists have millions of followers and thereby have an outsized (negative) influence on society this has a macro impact.
