First thing I do on Twitter is go straight to comments on post, and subconsciously I start searching for the opposite remarks, the ones that are wrong (because there's always that one person) or the ones that twist the topics. And then I see it and then I get mad because 'How can someone think like this'.
But this year I have told myself I won't do that. Be sucked into conversations and responses that don't affect me directly or indirectly, or contribute to my causes.
Social media can be a black hole, just sucking and pulling everything joyful out of you to leave you miserable. I think that's why a number of people always act miserable in those online spaces because they've consumed too much.
yes and it’s sad because platforms like this thrive on you being angry and riled up so you can share and share and share so it’s endless. you’ll see more of such posts to rile you up and less of peaceful content
This is an audacious decision, one I wish I could take; I have been doing this with a couple themes I used to be invested in, maybe I need to expand the scope more.
As a periodical recipient of your irate thoughts , this feels delightful to read.
I’ve intentionally decided to tow this path this year. I would get angry over individuals on Twitter and gobbled up so much online, it started reflecting subconsciously in real life. Now, I stop the madness from getting me riled up, if it’s too much I simply block.
Came to this decision aeons ago, double that with locked accounts with views of those you trust and can learn from and i experience peace on social media, so much so I can say I enjoy it. Think IG early days when it was just about connecting with people you actually know.

great decision if you ask me! ❤️
This sums up my experience with twitter. I left some years ago and never looked back. It was the best decision I ever made😌
happy for you!

really intentional decision making here
I avoided Twitter for a year and still counting because of this same issue you wrote about. You made a right decision for yourself!
thank you! so happy for myself really.
I left Twitter altogether.
great decision tbh.
This is my second week of avoiding Twitter and I think I can hear my own thoughts clearer
that’s so good. gosh to hear one’s thoughts clearly
I’m curious to know what sort of tweet it was
