@Cheri I escaped by deleting my fully personal account and then creating a new account that was only for very specific things, aimed at a positive thing for me. So this was a much better version of Twitter and then after just a few short weeks things were still bad enough that I have even stopped using the positive account. Now I'm ready to delete it and maintain only one account, for work.

The effect of seeing the most positive version of Twitter still being absolutely awful, that's what really helped me finally draw a line underneath the entire platform and walk away. Now it's even easier for me to fully embrace the robust tools of the open web, even at the level of a basic uninformed user of the internet it's relatively simple to get everything I want away from any silo.
