> Twitter is perfectly fine if you unfollow and block toxic influencers.

Not my experience tbh. I quit Twitter after having tried to follow only accounts that interested me.

But once Twitter starts to be unable to create a sufficiently dense "infinite feed", its algorithm starts to artificially fill your feed and shows you the likes and answers (and not only tweets & RTs) of the people you follow or the hottest tweets of people followed by people you follow.

I was totally unable to protect myself from the "Twitter's today shitstorm". So I quit.

I use Tweak New Twitter, which removes 'trending', reblogs, etc. from my feed.
