They would need to be force feeding me conservative content in order for me to be able to answer the question. They're not and never have been. Same applies to ads.

If you learn how to curate your feed, it won't be an issue.

I tell some people to KYS just so the website forces me into a ban for 6 days.

Its nice.

edit: The people I say this to are genuinely scum of the earth. Pedos, People that share animal abuse vids, and people that disrespect the current situation surrounding school shootings.

Sounds like a healthy use of your time

Which one? getting myself purposefully muted? I'd say it is yea. If extensions/willpower cant stop me from being sucked into this website then getting myself banned will fix that. So even if I go back to the site, I cant do anything. That way I can force myself into breaking from it/doing other things.

The only reason I got so caught up in using it was because of the election. I had never used it before then. For 2 weeks I would be on the site CONSTANTLY, responding to comments left to me just mere minutes ago. It was a habit that had gotten way out of control. So what better way to break this habit than me being forced into taking a break from it by catching a temp ban

Not all humans live in America. It is possible for people to use Twitter without seeing material related to your country's political shituation.
