Indeed, that's part of the burden I mean – it's not just the logistical hassle of withdrawing from a given forum or making your own anti-trigger arrangements¹, it's also the fact that if you do, you miss other things posted there. Certainly in some cases there will be disadvantages to doing it either way round, and it's a question of which one is worse.
¹ I'm reminded that many years ago, by the luck of happening along at the right moment with a piece of related and easily adapted code in my back pocket, I once helped someone produce a custom S2 style which filtered entire posts out of their reading page based on detecting a particular trigger word in the text of the post, so that they could remain on LJ/DW and not miss anything else.
Hmm, I was never a Twitter person, and it wasn't politics, rather advertising + "comparison kills contentment" + the waste of time that took me off Facebook, but I do still miss keeping up with my real (but long distance) friends. So I can see the problem.
