Maybe the GP was just being blithe/snarky about Twitter specifically, but I choose to interpret it a little more: don't just stop using Twitter, but stop using anything even similar. For now you might get some subjectively better signal to noise ratio out of Mastodon or Bluesky or some other thing, but ultimately the problem is not the medium so much as the underlying mentality. Users seeking "first to report" news in short, easily consumable bits leads almost inevitably to such things being supplied to meet that demand, reality be damned. In other words, don't just eschew Twitter; reconsider the medium entirely.
