The only "safe" way to use Twitter now is as an echo chamber - only follow people you like, only talk to people who think the same way you do.

That is by no means safe, when brigaders are actively looking for opportunities for whipping up a mob.

True. I should add "and use copious blocklists and never look at your mentions" to that list.

Basically, you'd get the same experience by having an email list of your friends.
