This is my experience too, I honestly believe that for anyone using twitter being permanently suspended is the best thing that can happen to them. It's just an awful place.

Spam, bots, fake stories, constant outrage. It's miserable but people seem to become addicted.

Twitter taught me to suppress the impulse to react with snark to things or share only negative opinions. The app does incite these compulsions in me, but I've realized over time it's not just Twitter, I could stand to be a nicer person in general. Since then I only let myself post on Twitter if I have something neutral or nice to say. I don't always succeed but I think I've legit grown thanks to this and by extension to Twitter, however sad that sounds. People have a point when they say Twitter is a toxic place in general, but as an individual user, you have all the power to make your Twitter circle whatever you want it to be. It doesn't have to be that way for you.

The old saw "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all", basically.
