You can just unfollow people that engage in extreme language on Twitter, you won’t run out of people

The problem is that Musk changed the Following algorithm to reward engagement.

So you will inevitably get people who are more extreme and controversial.

And since they will soon disable blocking you won't be able to avoid them.

“Mute” works for me to avoid annoying users, including Musk hinself.
