The problem is that (last time I looked) you can't only look at people's tweets. You have to see people's retweets too. So most attempts to only see certain aspects of twitter are too hard or incredibly limiting.
- eXpl0it3r 6y agoWith TweetDeck [1] you can select whether you want to include retweets or not [2], plus a lot of other useful options. However, I think RTs enhance the experience a lot, as you get to discover other people with similar interest kind of organically. But the same rule applies to people who RT a lot of negativity heavy tweets, just unfollow of mute them. If you're interested, I recently wrote a bit about how I've been using Twitter quite happily in the past few years [3].

- 6gvONxR4sf7o 6y agoThanks for the pointers. You've convinced me to try to give it another try. Any idea whether there's a way to hide retweets from specific people while allowing retweets from others? Like for people who tweet content on topics I care about and retweet content on topics I want to stay away from? Like, instead of muting someone, just muting their retweets.
- eXpl0it3r 6y agoI've not seen such a feature, but there are also a lot of third-party apps, so maybe one offers such a feature.
