First rule of Twitter is avoid the algorithm at all costs. The trolls have long since figured it out and now if the algorithm is involved you are going to see white supremacist talking points nonstop.

Second rule of Twitter is why are you on Twitter, it's a full on Nazi bar now.

The "following" feed that mostly shows you content from people you have explicitly followed is better, although the site really likes to swap back to the algorithmic "for you" feed whenever you aren't paying attention. However, even the following feed will still have the troll responses on most posts. You really can't avoid them on Twitter.

It was a short affair.

No longer on Twitter. I can't see how anyone would want to be. It's a veritable cesspool.
