Two years without Twitter helped me find a more balanced way of using it. Some practical steps.

1

Tweet Cleaning

Use the platform your way. Remove Twitter’s game-ification by browsing it with Tweetbot (on mobile or Mac). [If you’re a PC/Android user, there are probably equivalents.] Turn off image thumbnails, autoplay and badges. Toggle retweets and quote-tweets depending on whether you want a quick Twitter catch-up or a deeper dive. Cull who you follow, keeping it to 200 or less. Delete your tweets at least once a month (feels lighter!).
