This seems to be a prevailing view of Twitter as a newpaper replacement or for political discourse.

For the sake of it, Twitter as a tool has many other uses:

There's a ton of illustrators and photographers that post their work on Twitter, it's an excellent alternative to Instagram in that respect, in particular for those who don't want to deal with Facebook/Meta.

Blocking an artist who's work you don't like isn't creating any nocive filter bubble, you get in exchange a timeline of nice pics that make you happy.

I think a lot of people want to have political discourse and interact with the news events of the world, and desperately look for a place to do it. I'd wager any tool/platform that is chosen for that will very fast look like a cesspool of nastiness. People who feel Twitter is crushing their life should rethink what they're looking for in Twitter, and follow, I don't know, @hourlywolvesbot ?
