On Using Twitter
Earlier I used to follow all sorts of famous twitter accounts and had joined all sorts of (ugly debate). I really liked Twitter in comparison to FB in the sense that it introduced me people of millions types from all over the world. On FB, everyone was already known to me so there was no novelty in what I was browsing.<p>However, later on I realized that Twitter is actually a &quot;outrage generating machine&quot;. Everyone is outraging over every trivial, even wrong, thing at every chance. This was very toxic. And since I was addicted to Twitter, it was affecting my mental sanity in very subtle ways.<p>Later on I unfollowed 90% accounts and stuck to those accounts which strictly tweets only about programming, math, history and other such stuffs in robotic manner (I.e. without any hidden agenda or connotations). I unfollowed everyone who have even a slightest chance of tweeting about politics. Also I stopped tweeting and replying to anybody.<p>Suddenly Twitter became a bit nicer place and now I only spend may be 5-10 min there.<p>If you can discipline yourself and carefully choose whom to follow, Twitter is great, otherwise it is a toxic hell.Just don&#x27;t follow any political figure or any people who outrages on daily basis. And don&#x27;t even try to debate there. It is not a debate plateform. It is broadcasting platform.
