When reading advice online, it's probably worthwhile to determine who that message was intended for.

Advice comes from the experiences and goals of the person offering. If your circumstances are too different, find a conversation that's more relevant to you - don't be a jerk.
Especially on a public platform like Twitter, the person reading a message is usually better equipped to find a good match than someone who is writing something that is potentially read by thousands. You can use that to your advantage. Find suitable "mentors".
And if you do follow people outside of your direct community because you value diversity in your interactions - please appreciate that this diversity is harmed by bad-faith arguments and undue cynicism
Using Twitter as a platform for conversation places a greater burden on the reader to interpret posts generously.

Anything you write is without fully knowing the audience, not in real-time, and limited in length. We should try not to make posting here so risky and difficult.
