The 3-strike reply rule that stopped my online shout matches

I kept getting into these dumb Twitter fights about which celebs deserved cancellation, and I'd spend hours typing out long threads that went nowhere. Then I started timing myself with a simple rule: if I can't write a reply in 3 minutes flat, I close the tab and walk away. It sounds dumb but it worked, I went from replying to 5 or 6 posts a night down to maybe 1 or 2 a week. The trick is the timer on my phone, it forces me to say what I actually think instead of building some big argument. Has anyone else found a weird filter like this that keeps them out of the mud?
