I know a lot of folks in my field side by the stance that everything is political, even code. Twitter isn't code. Why would you expect someone to limit what they publish to code topics just because you want to limit what you read to just code things? Their Twitter account is their domain. There's no reason why someone shouldn't tweet about code and other stuff if they want to. I honestly have no idea why people think they should have any say over what someone tweets, and even suggest that people are wrong to tweet the way they do. That level of entitlement is baffling. Please don't follow me on Twitter. You'll hate my account.

> Please don't follow me on Twitter. You'll hate my account. Followed, of course, just for that. Hey, an old retweet of yours already got me blocked by some fuckwit who, like Mike Pence, can't trust himself to be alone with women other than his wife, so that's a win all around! :-D

Nobody said that people can't tweet about any and all aspects of their lives. The point was that some followers may only be interested in one particular part. This would dramatically cut the noise from Twitter, as well as its divisiveness and general unpleasantness. You can still tweet whatever you want, but Twitter would be more usable for many people if you could cherry pick the signal and get rid of the noise.
