Since you asked... I'm using my account because I'm a meetup organizer, podcast host (well currently on a bit of a longer break) and open source package author. I find that Twitter and LinkedIn still bring me and my projects visibility. It helps my career (though the ROI might be better on other activities, tbh) and some people joined my team because they knew me from Twitter/my podcast. Every once in a while when I finish a small library or host a meetup event, I publish them on Twitter. I don't engage in fights, I'm not an activist on the platform and I don't try to "growth-hack" and come up with cheesy threads to boost my profile. When people still try to start some fight on Twitter, I ignore their comment until they forget about it, especially if it comes from people who always stir up controversies. I don't block anyone, but I use the mute button often. I mute if someone posts threads, edgy hot takes and if someone is too political (even if I agree with them). There are good technical content from many of my follows, but somehow "thread spam" that's designed to inflate engagement numbers still leak into my feed. Political and social activism get into my feed, too. When this happens, I mute, unfollow, click "not interested" etc to keep my feed in an acceptable shape. I ignore messages asking me to do stuff for them for free, asking me to debug something, etc. The political commentators that I like, I browse without ever liking or retweeting their stuff. I feel that this way I get something out of being in these platforms without sacrificing my mental well being.
