To me, this is what makes Twitter (and Instagram
and anything else aimed at talking to the public)
mostly useless. I don't want to hear about the
day-to-day lives of Twitter randos at all or
follow celebrity gossip.
I enjoy Twitter a lot and my feed is 0% randos and celebrities.
It's about 50% friends I know personally and 50%... well, not "celebrities" but like... local personalities, independent musicians, leaders of open source projects, etc. The ones I follow are actually very responsive to replies which is very very cool and useful to me.
I'm not sure where else I could easily and enjoyably aggregate that stuff.
- MiddleEndian 5y agoI guess I just don't have a particular desire for that to be integrated into the same system I use to talk to my friends. To me FB is just a replacement for AIM with some conveniences like being able to look people up by name. If I want aggregated tech news I just come here, if I want to know what someone specific like Stallman is up to, I'll go to his site or send him an email.
- AzzieElbab 5y agoI don’t even use the feed. Just private lists, and I avoid adding journalists.
