My twitter using SO has complained that twitter constantly suggests tweets to her from people she is specifically not following due to their toxicity (and also doesn't care to block because doing so would potentially generate drama).
- rlewkov 5y agoI have so, so may people on my Twitter feed muted for this reason. Toxic crap gets immediately muted - sometimes blocked. Have practically zero patience for crap so Twitter is quite nice for me. If you want to engage in a screaming contest you certainly can but that's not for me.
- nullc 5y agoI just asked: Muting would make it so you couldn't see their part in conversations, which is a problem for their non-toxic content showing up in conversations that you're a part of. What do you do when someone somewhat important in your industry puts out 20% abusive/toxic content (and that 20% is probably 90% of their engagement)? If you ban them you create drama, if you mute them you're still cutting yourself out of potentially important non-toxic conversations. But when you don't ban/mute them twitter seems to want to constantly show you their hottest hottakes-- the very reason that you're not following them. (I'm not even sure if muting is enough to prevent the recommendations).
