Twitter is just as bad.
It fills my feed with inflammatory US based political tweets, and I'm not interested.
If a tech journalists decides to reply on a thread about the latest GoP nonsense, then as an Australian that is interested in tech news, I don't want to hear it!
- slenk 4y agoFrankly, as a US citizen, I don't want my tech journalists talking about the GOP either.
- wishfish 4y agoTwitter's algorithm isn't front and center as long as you're set to "latest tweets". It's reduced to the sidebar where it guesses (badly) what trends I'll be interested in. On mobile, I don't even see the sidebar or trends unless I deliberately seek them out. It's one thing I like about Twitter. All I see are the people I followed and the people they retweet. If one of them gets annoying, unfollow or mute. And it's all in chronological order. Unless I'm missing something, nothing is getting filtered or pushed by some annoying algorithm. For your situation, you might want to create a list of words for Twitter to block for you. That might help you avoid certain topics.
