Twitter is much like Reddit in that if you actively avoid the shit, you won't get any on you and it's not that bad.

Remember when the "mobile version" was just SMS? It was fun back then.

Fun fact: A couple of years ago, I wanted to see some of those first tweets I made over SMS, and they were gone. My guess is that they had major data loss at one point, and just never told anyone.

I keep my feed reverse-chronological (and avoid their "home" feed), and the worst thing I see in my feed is people complaining about all the rage bait. Their algorithmic feed tries to put "engaging" content in your face, but it's so easy to avoid that it honestly seems negligent that most people don't bother with the two clicks it'd take to make the change.

Yes it'd be better if that stuff didn't exist, but it's hardly as bad as other sites' feeds.

I met my wife on Twitter in that timeframe.
