I use a third-party Twitter client TweetBot on both iOS and MacOS, and all I see are the folks I follow and any retweets they do. And that's it. No suggested tweets to rile and inflame and engage me. I only see what I want to see.

And if one particular person I follow gets too verbose, I mute them for 6 hours, a day, a week, or forever, until they calm down. I've even permanently muted acquaintances who it makes them happy to think I follow them as they go off the deep end.

If Twitter takes away the API that TweetBot uses, well, I think that'll be my exit, since I can't imagine having to put up with what I perceive everyone else is experiencing on Twitter.
