inThat week in March when 3 creators I liked got dragged for old tweets within 4 days and I couldn't keep up
Did you ever look back at the list later and notice the tweets that got people in trouble were mostly jokes that aged badly, not actual bad takes? That was my takeaway when it happened to a group I followed in 2021. What helped me was muting the main timeline for a couple weeks and just checking the few accounts I actually cared about directly. The pile-on moves way faster than the apology cycle, so stepping out of the feed made it feel less like a fire I had to watch burn.

inWarning: my nephew kept saying 'aura points' at Thanksgiving and now I catch myself using it at work
This is exactly how it goes too, the people who fight it the hardest are always the ones who end up saying it the most. My niece got me with "giving" last year, like "that outfit is giving lunch lady," and I rolled my eyes so hard. Then two weeks later I told my friend her ex was "giving broke energy" and I wanted to crawl under a table. The thing about aura points is it actually does a job nothing else does. You can roast someone for doing something dumb without it sounding mean, because the fake math makes it a joke. That is why it spreads at work so fast, it lets people call out stuff in a way that keeps things light. Words like this either die in a month or they stick for years, and the ones that stick are the ones that fill a gap, and minus 50 aura points fills a real gap. So yeah I would bet on it lasting past spring, sorry.
