Avoiding Twitter

I've mentioned that Twitter annoys me. Not just the 140 character limit (which doesn't work well for people like myself), but the fact that I can't easily mute drama without muting or unfollowing entire users has gotten on my nerves.
I know a lot of people complain about Facebook's algorithmic news feed, but being able to mute topics by saying "Don't show this post" is such a useful and amazing feature for keeping away fights and politics that I don't want filling my feed. Not having to watch people complain about a politician in another country is such a nice feeling, as is getting rid of the negativity of daily drama.
Admittedly, the best way to get rid of drama would be to drop Twitter entirely, but with family and friends using it as a primary means of communication, that's rather difficult. I'm just going to avoid using it as much as possible. I have a Facebook account for news and the like.
