Doesn't twitter allow you the option to mute and block users you would rather not hear from?

Sure, but there's like umpteen million terrible accounts...seems like a lot to ask of your users.

Any public platform is going to have this. You have to first decide what you don't want in clear language and legislate it very specifically and clearly. Or you will destroy diversity and free speech.

Newspapers and TV are controlled so you don't see too much of it. But any public internet site cannot avoid this without heavy moderation which at Twitter, Youtube, Facebook scale are not easy problems to solve.

But you have a choice and according to you, you are already using it: leaving Twitter.
