You can tame it but it takes some effort. I've managed to do so by just blocking any account that shows up in my algo feed with outrage or politics. After a week or two of doing this I broke through to another layer of Twitter that was very wholesome and got a lot out of it.
That said, I'd still rather go in on a protocol like ActivityPub or SSB so I'm now posting to both Twitter and AP and see what comes of it
This is why I don't even look at my Twitter feed. I have Feedbin grab the tweets of a few users I follow and show them in with my RSS feeds. If I want to reply, yeah, then I go to Twitter...and still avoid the feed.
I feel like this is what a lot of people miss. I try very hard to avoid it but it eventually finds its way into my feed. People want to be angry.
Just look at political accounts of similar stature but of opposite parties. The replies are rarely people supporting, rather people complaining.
