personally I like Twitter except for the opaque arbitrary bans - and on Twitter I have single digit # of blocks and my replies are open - but I only get notifications from ppl I follow, and then scroll other replies when curious
I love private pinned Lists on Twitter as basically my own custom Feeds, I sometimes mute ppl who are annoying me, and I opt out of the adult content flag (which seems to work very well there!)... for me, being on Twitter is about *discovery* which doesn't happen as well w locked down interactions
oh! forgot that I do use phrase mutes which seem to improve my Twitter experience by removing certain memes & topics I find annoying
