Things you can try to do to protect yourself on twitter.
1. Think "Do I have the spoons for this?" (usually it's no!)
2. Use the mute function, mute people and conversations.
3. Recognize that other people are upset to be upset, not because they want a conversation with you.

To people who want to be upset on twitter:
If you're frustrated that someone is making threads about 1 area but not another area - make your own thread and then ask them to boost the thread. Don't tell them their area or issue isn't important.
