Today I thought to share some Tips that have helped me survive Twitter as a Liberal supporter - in the hopes they'll help you too. A thread:

If you find yourself endlessly harassed by bots/trolls, you can reduce their number by altering your settings as shown on this image:

Swearing in a tweet is tolerable. Being sworn AT or swearing AT someone in a tweet is not. Know the difference.

When you first join Twitter, your name will have a long number after it. Change it, get rid of the number as it is a sign of a bot/troll for many people, fair or not.
Go to Settings>Your account>account information (you'll be asked for your password).

In the same vein as the last tweet, you should have something as your profile pic because the grey shadow image is also judged to be a sign of a bot/troll by some. If you don't want your own photo up, choose any image you like.
Go to Profile, click Edit Profile

You are not required to accept every person who Follows you. You can block. Or if you don't want to do that but don't want them to follow, block, then immediately unblock and their name will be removed as a 'Follows you'.

If you're an average Joe or Josephine, it will take time to begin to build a following. Follow those that interest you, reply to tweets. Like tweets. Post tweets. You are more likely to be followed back by those also trying to build a following - build together.

'I Tweet Therefore I Am' are not words to live by. (Unless you're Donald Trump). But Twitter can be a way to share, support, encourage, be supported by politically like-minded people. And that's a good thing :>)

And finally - you don't have to take crap from anyone, not even me.😁 Block and Mute buttons are there for a reason. Don't feel guilty for using them. But if someone disagrees with your views in a sane manner, treat them with the same courtesy!

Forgot one especially for Guys: If a pretty young woman follows you, doesn't tweet except for pics showing most of her breasts - check who else she follows. If they're all guys (most likely) consider that she's not that into you, but thinks your wallet may be interesting.
