what would u do if your moots tweet negative stuff non stop? occasionally theres things I wouldn’t know about if it wasn’t for them bringing it up and it ruins my mood. on top of that theres always a sense of insecurity giving off from them, as in the need for validation from people on this app? which shouldn’t be the way to live cos it’s toxic. Idk they might be struggling with something in real life that it might be seeping through their online personality. so what would u recommend in this situation if u don’t want that toxicity around u bothering u? we’re not close so it’s hard to speak to them without them taking it the wrong way or getting offended and we’re also not strangers for me to cut them off completely
before anything else, i want to say that this is 100% a valid struggle, anon ;o; the state of the world has made it super easy to doomscroll and despair, plus sometimes people just need to let it out/get it off their chests...
i would definitely recommend making liberal use of the mute function!! if they're always tweeting about a few specific topics, i would observe if there are certain keywords or hashtags that are almost always being used in these tweets and add it to muted words!
but if it's not all that straightforward and they're just being negative in general, unfortunately i have no other suggestions other than to maybe consider temporarily muting them ;; the good news is if you're moots, they'll still show up in your mentions/replies/notifs tab; they just won't show on your home tab by default. this way you can set some boundaries for what you see but still be able to interact with them! i hope this helps, if even a little 🫂
