I dropped it when trump was spewing his bs on it. My feed was 90% Trump bs and re-posts. I actively dumped fb, twitter and a few others back in 2019 and My life has been so much better since then.

That's 100% on you, nobody made you follow those accounts. My TL had 0 trump shit because I don't follow people who tweeted politics.

My job made constant exposure to the news unavoidable so Twitter was where I went to avoid it. So many funny people making original jokes. I made a lot of new friends through it that I still see today

I stand by that Twitter was a great platform if you thought about how you used it
