> I just stopped using it on web... Just on the web? You have been labeled as bot and you are still using the service? This reminds me Stockholm syndrome.

  I follow some accounts like Chip Huyen, Andrej Karpathy and some cat pic accounts etc..., and a couple of close friends are almost exclusively active on Twitter. Also ocassional Marvel news is nice to check out in a while... But its true that toxic crap does pop up on my feed, esp. before the Presidential election, I felt it had gone haywire so I just block some triggering words though even that doesn't work at times.. And by bot, what I meant was when I did try to tweet, way too many times it says to "This action seems automated. Please try again later" or "You have reached your daily limit for this action... Please try again later" or Add your phone number to proceed (though I have done this ages ago) ... not been literally labelled as a bot. Maybe it is stockholm syndrome... social media does seem like a way to get my fix (cut out Instagram cause of doomscrolling on an ex's profile, Reddit cause its pretty toxic too but its still good place to get some esoteric knowledge, HN has been very good, Facebook is useless unless I try to sell something... speaking of which if anyone is open to buying a 21 speed cycle in Bangalore, please DM)
