I know this gets said over and over again, but it's so depressing to look at what major social networking sites have become. I remember actually having fun on Facebook and twitter when they were in there early years. I feel like when I used Facebook in high school I didn't have this overwhelming sadness and whenever I logged off.

- spike021 6y agoI won't say I don't get negatively affected at all, but I still have a huge amount of fun on twitter. I curate my "feeds" by using special follow lists (usually an obscured feature probably to make people think they can only use the main feed). I have a few different baseball lists, a list for automobile news since I'm into races like Super GT, and a couple other specific lists. While I do wind up seeing negative stuff on my main tweet feed, it's easy to choose to only look at stuff I enjoy reading and responding to. I'm sure most of the blame goes to Twitter because as I said, they sort of made that lists feature obscure. But I feel like there's a lot that users can do to take their own control of what they see on Twitter. I certainly do.
