If you click on toxic content, algorithm is going to feed it to you. Twitter is perfectly fine if you unfollow and block toxic influencers. There is propably even keyword based filtering.

For news you can watch international news stations from India. Very realistic and refreshing.

Not my experience tbh. I quit Twitter after having tried to follow only accounts that interested me.

But once Twitter starts to be unable to create a sufficiently dense "infinite feed", its algorithm starts to artificially fill your feed and shows you the likes and answers (and not only tweets & RTs) of the people you follow or the hottest tweets of people followed by people you follow.

I was totally unable to protect myself from the "Twitter's today shitstorm". So I quit.

I use Tweak New Twitter, which removes 'trending', reblogs, etc. from my feed.
