Is there a Twitter client/URL without replies or comments?

The ratio of users who jump immediately to ill-founded conspiracies or equally useless/malignant/ideological commentary is astounding to me. I don't want to see/hear/know their thoughts---online or in person.

A local news aggregator posted an election announcement this week in my state. No real bias, just the news that the election had been called for one party. Zero nuance in the comments; it was immediately riled up comments at either extreme of the spectrum. I can't imagine what this does mentally to people who read such an unfiltered firehose day after day.
I know it's not what you are looking for, but I can only tolerate Twitter with this https://nitter.net/about
Twitterific (iOS) hides comments by default. TweetDeck (desktop) does the same.
replace twitter.com in URL with nitter.net for cleaner layout and easier to ignore comments
TweetBot
Must have been horrific and sudden. Lost 26,000 feet in 3 minutes.
