When ever I browse my twitter feed I lazily click around because I have a hard time concentrating a lot because I am overwhelmed. So I find myself using heuristics more than the average person to curtail unwanted conversations. I'll read a sentence of a post and if the user sounds like a total idiot and I never want to hear from them again it triggers the "idiot flag" to TRUE. That person is muted. There's also a flag for "NOT WANT" that gets flagged to TRUE.
Sometimes I like to use computer metaphors to describe my internal dialogue to describe it, though usually to no one except to myself. I might be muting future conversations that may be good, though it's for the best. It makes me twitter feed very chill. The algorithm seems to mute people for me nowadays without my intervention.
People complain about drama and trolls on Twitter, but I never see them. Twitter is very peaceful for me, even boring. I dont stay long on it, except to make a few replies here there and maybe some tweets of my own.
