- skmurphy 5y agoThanks this is helpful. I have been fortunate to have figured a few of these out on my own and kept twitter a source of useful insights. This article outlines solid holistic approach, adding lists was a particularly useful suggestion.
- danuker 5y ago> In addition, the tweets will appear in chronological order, with no interpolated advertising nor any other junk, unlike in your timeline. This is just another step in the rat-race that is fighting the platform itself. It merely prolongs the period before inevitable monetization and signal decay.

- mandmandam 5y ago> You don’t follow an account because you want to read their tweets. Twitter is “social media”, and following is a social signal. When you follow someone you are declaring that you approve of that person. Whether or not this is what you intended, this is how your decision to follow someone will be interpreted. This is horrifying. Believable, and understandable, but truly disturbing.
- ASalazarMX 5y agoI don't care if people choose to interpret it that way. I can follow people or institutions I want to keep updated on, regardless of my approval of their actions. A more realistic interpretation is that your followers range from detractors to loyal supporters.
- captainmuon 5y agoThat's completely wrong to me. I don't follow somebody on twitter to read what they write specifically. I only know one or two people who write interesting content directly to twitter. I am in it specifically for the recommendations, and for content discovery. And from a content producer's side, I want random people who follow me to read my tweets. How else could they find me in the first place? Just from retweets from my followers alone? If anything, I think that people are not seeing enough tweets outside of their filter bubble.

- runjake 5y agoIf you are going to do it "that way", then don't elect to participate in the TweetDeck Preview, because that nerfs Twitter in pretty much the same manner you are escaping. It is a losing battle fighting for Twitter against... Twitter.
- kshacker 5y agoI have been using Tweetbot with the above strategy for over 5 years maybe longer. Works so wonderfully that sometimes I don't get what the fuss is about ... since I never use the timeline. The lists are easily visible in Tweetbot but I think in the Twitter client it is an extra click or 2 to get there and that makes me not use the official Twitter client.
