yeah, me too. I follow a lot of authors or musicians I enjoy, plus a cadre of local and far-flung friends. I am pretty politically engaged but political twitter is just gamesmanship, so I have no time for it AT ALL.
I also use a 3rd party client, so I'm not subjected to algorithmic chicanery in my feed. I mute widely. And I read it at most 2 or 3 times a day.
In general, I find it WAY more pleasant than FB. (I'd love to ditch FB, but for a number of logistical/community reasons that's just not feasible for me, so I try to minimize my interaction with it.)

(What I REALLY want is the old GEnie SFRT back.)
