Ask HN: On Twitter, do you get spam, troll or toxic replies? Recently Pieter Levels shared his script[0] to mute and make unfollow some of his followers by keywords in their bio and other criteria. He says that "if you have over 10,000 followers, replies on here become increasingly toxic, political, annoying" and this is his way to improve his experience. I am wondering how widespread this problem is and what your experience is. Do you or people you know get many such negative replies on Twitter? How many followers do you have? How do you mitigate this or what did you try to do? Disclaimer: I might try solving this problem.
