If you are ruthless at blocking and curating who you follow, Twitter can be a very good experience.

My Twitter feed is nothing but posts about what is going on in AI.

While I do follow Elon Musks account, because it may contain something important to know at some point (which rarely happens), I block everyone he retweets in regards to political views so that I'm not affected by it.

I use an ad blocker to remove the Trending panel, because at least here in Germany it is an entry point to the gates of hell, where you are guaranteed to be confronted with the most extremist, anti-government people this country has to offer. Politics are the worst on Twitter, and Twitter feeds that rage in order to have more engagement.
