Take Maggie Haberman, NYT reporter. Her Twitter replies are always a cesspool...what if she could lock down her tweets so only a whitelisted group of users (say people she follows) could comment? You'd still (hopefully) get contrary opinions but none of the dreck that dominates her feed now.
I don't know if that's the answer. But I don't see Twitter even trying, just Dorsey waxing philosophical about it.
What I call "Twitter Communities" is my answer to that problem. Invite only groups. The world can read but only group members can post to the group. Otherwise exactly like Twitter currently is. You can create a community and invite people to it and then when you post you either post to a community or global, everything still appears in your feed but you can filter down to just a certain community posts.
