You get the impression that Twitter is a morass of vicious abuse and stupendous idiocy. Then you mute a few dozen people, and suddenly it seems quite civilised. It's not thousands of trolls abusing you, but the same few people, over and over.
I should add that, while I have muted quite a few highly abusive/time-wasting accounts, I follow a large number of people I disagree with. I think that's important, too.
However, anyone denying climate science is immediately muted. Those who deny this vast body of evidence are wasting their own time - and that of anyone who engages with them.
