It's not that I want an echo chamber of my own beliefs. Twitter has been plenty challenging for years without an issue.

I just want to post and interact with people without getting bombarded with wishes about my death for posting that I biked to work. There is no discourse there anymore, only loads of hate.

Painting people that leave as people that enjoy echo chambers is just dishonest.

This. I don't use twitter for political discourse and since new guy took charge and made his political inclinations clear I'm being bombarded with political content and "news"/"hot takes" that skew a certain way. If wanting to use the tool for topics that are of interest to me, is me being in an echo chamber, then so be it.

I guess we just follow different people.

That doesn’t make sense with the given scenario. It’s followers that have visibility int your posts, not people you’re following

That's an easy way to dismiss all concerns, and backhanded also blame the ones complaining for "holding it wrong".

It's not about who I follow. It's about the replies I get when I participate in discussions around my interests.

All I’m saying is, “There is no discourse there anymore, only loads of hate,” doesn’t reflect my experience. Apologies if I offended you.

I think GP made a pretty neutral comment, and you interpreted it rather poorly.

It's a bit of an overreaction which, ironically enough, is the kind of engagement Twitter thrives on.
