Most people use social media not with the intention of shouting into the void, but with the intention of getting replies that they want to read, that they then do read, and perhaps reply in turn.

If that's what usually happens, but sometimes randomly they get tons and tons of replies that they don't want (as claimed by this post), that's an interesting and noteworthy flaw that I've never seen specifically discussed.

You can also mute notifications from people who don't follow you / who you don't follow, though it may not be desirable to keep it like that all the time.

Im not sure I agree with your rather chatitable interpretation of most twitter users. Most seem firmly in the void shouting camp to me.

Even if you like the replies, it's overwhelming.
