Twitter's algorithm has a way of showing most toxic or controversial posts and comments first.

There are people that are very good friends of mine in Real Life, but their Twitter profiles show a completely toxic persona. This doesn't happen with their other social media profiles.

TikTok on the other hand shows up higher more "feel-good" content which is why it's the only social media app I have installed on my phone.

I wouldn't be able to replicate your experience. My friends on twitter are either sidelining toxicity (by simply ignoring the usual in/outgroup messaging) or by just posting their (non-political, non-controversial, technical) stuff.

I don't know toxic people on twitter behaving the same on other social networks.
