> I know that can be turned off but way too many people don't and then they end up engaging in topics they know nothing about.

This is 95% of social media, including HN.

I never could JOIN Twitter for that reason. I tried to use it a year ago and I couldn't turn off all of the annoying inflammatory and inciteful comment not only in my feeds but in my NOTIFICATIONS. I just found it unusable and never became a regular user.

Did you notice that you again talked about how other people view tweets, not that you personally couldn't switch to chronological view and enjoy only tweets from people you follow?

I dont even have Twitter. I noticed how it drags us into things that we dont care about so I ditched it after brief use. I applaud your ability to only stick to your feed and not wonder off anywhere else on that site.

I don’t see what that has to do with Elon Musk or Donald Trump, which the blog post was about. What you describe was true long before Musk bought Twitter or Trump ran for president.

Yup it was. It has nothing to do with blog. I am just stating my problem with Twitter like others in this comment section.
