Twitter Feed Curation

Make twitter yoursDoes that mean when I click "See less of this" because Twitter thinks I give a rats ass about tweets made 18 hours from people I don't even follow because the people I do follow "liked" said tweets...that I'll actually see less of "this"? I have lists to cut down on that crap but I'd like to not have to feel like I'm fooling the platform just to curate my own experience using it--if I'm going to c

Yes, you can absolutely curate your feed by following what you want to see more of, marking suggested tweets you don't like as see less often, block people etc. This is a non-issue.

I created twitter about a month ago with the intention of using it like a multi-purpose RSS feed and reader. I decided to only tweet about updates and new content from my side. And then to find others that work in areas I care about and follow them. Trouble is - nobody else seems to use twitter like that. They post memes, retweet things, share their political opinions, ask questions, get into discussions, and I see all of that when I follow them. It's just too noisy, currently haven't

Reddit is much better at what you're describing. Twitter constantly inserts content you haven't asked for in your feed and when viewing tweets.

I disabled retweets for every user I follow and it helped a lot. Now my twitter feed looks like a proper news feed.

Exactly. I got on twitter to follow certain people. Most of the time its great but honestly what sucks is there is so much noise I just ignore everything.And I'm a technical person willing to put up with a lot of BS. But I can't be arsed to prune my list because while say someone I follow posts GREAT things relating to libc internals, they also post things that are very much not what I care about.I can't tell twitter to: don't show me stuff like this from this person, o

The people I like to follow on twitter most are those that are laser-focused on producing content related to one thing. Conan O'Brien, for example, almost exclusively tells jokes. I don't want to read his re-tweet of some fan's comment, for example. These make Twitter a lot less useful. A complement to your service would be to remove these less useful tweets from my feed, and just show in aggregate the links that were tweeted, as you currently do. I've spent very little time

Not after Twitter started forcing you to see accounts you don't follow.

I've begun to enjoy Twitter since I've started to unfollow everyone, put interesting people in topical lists, use Tweetdeck, very rarely engage with anyone, almost only read, and remove people as soon as they annoy me.Even with all this culling I still add more people to my lists than remove people from them.Also, go to Twitter a few times a day, not every few minutes.

If you like drama that's what you'll get. I actively unfollow people I like if their tweets are too much about politics etc. Wish there was a better way of filtering individual tweets rather than people, but basically Twitter/X is completely what you make of it.
