i figured out how to use twttr without frying my brain
I also started using twttr again in 2024 after a couple of years out. I never used it because I considered twitter problematic.
Somehow I figured out the algorithm this time around. My feed is fairly good.
The one weird trick is to aggressively mute anyone on my feed who says anything overtly negative or in a way that blocks—regardless of whether I agree with or know the person.
I also mute people who repeatedly give off a negative energy through their posts.
This discipline paid off, and I now tend to find more quality discussion.
I can't say I've managed to make the most of twttr though. I'm still more consumer than producer and I'd like to change that.
