Twitter "helpfully" shows suggestions, ads, tweets people you follow liked, tweets from people followed by people you follow, replies by people you follow that don't appear in their timeline, etc. etc., and the tweets are sorted however the app decides that day.
None of those things happen in lists.
- hobs 5y agoYesterday I noticed twitter had 9+ "followed by an account you follow" "recommended topic" "utter bullshit nobody godamn wants" I think my other new favorite is having to click "more replies" after what, 8 tweets? Garbo.
- RF_Savage 5y agoThankfully "Tweak New Twitter" in chrome cleans all that up. Along with some select muted strings to suppress promoted tweets. Ofc it also helps that I don't use twitter on mobile at all and confine it's use to my desktop computer. Been a very good idea these past doomscrolly years.
