Twitter use to be a place to find folks of common interests, but its been flooded with political and other highly annoying topics that I prefer to avoid. Sadly, there's not good way to filter out the content and they keep flooding you with it :(
R.I.P Twitter for me; haven't touched it in over 2 years.

Unfollow those people. It doesn't make any sense to follow a lot of people and then get angry about the content they're posting. Like I said, if you let your follow list grow unbounded and you never go back and remove people, you'll eventually be flooded with content you don't want to see. See someone posting politics and topics you prefer to avoid? Unfollow.
- bluedino 5y agoThe problem is that everyone is a expert on politics, economics, contagious diseases... There are a lot of great people in the technical world that put their opinions on non-technical subjects out there
- jpindar 5y agoYou can block the keywords associated with those subjects.
- codemonkeysh 5y agoThe list is very long and forever growing - plus sadly, a lot of people tend to reply with images to prove a political point or to mock someone.
- pmarreck 5y agoThis reminds me of something I should do more. If you DO like to discuss those things, but also like to discuss tech, consider doing them on separate accounts.
- codemonkeysh 5y agoI kept a very small focus list of folks; technology only. Sadly, a lot of those folks would engage with others on political topics etc. and then my timeline would get flooded.
