I must use twitter differently to everyone else because I don't see the 90% of all twitter is bots and spam.
My timeline is people I follow; sometimes they retweet absolutely demented retarded shit that makes no sense but they nevertheless believe in.
"The algorithm" just brings the more engaged stuff from people I follow to the top, however, I don't use it because while I don't care about someone I follows hot take on thing happening right now, I care even less in 2 days time. As far as I can tell it hasn't turned me into a socialist / white supremacist.
Occasionally I will take a look at "trending" - Yes 90% of what is posted is utter garbage, but its not coming from bots and spam, its coming from people.
