Twitter has made a huge positive impact on my life. Lots of people complain about it, so I wanted to write some notes about how I use it. Love to hear others' strategies too.

I practically only follow ML researchers and my feed is still full of politics, cat pictures and self promotion.
Then unfollow the people who tweet mainly politics, cat pictures, and self promotion. There's a lot of people who don't.

Yep! I've tried doing this, but in practice find it hard to develop the discipline. Great idea to try, though.

Agree on so many levels with your thread... it is a wonderful place to learn, be inspired, share ones thoughts on writing and unfollow those that are either negative, too political or in-inspiring. I meet enough of those people in the real world!

I use a browser extension (for Firefox and Chrome) called
@LarryFilter that hides tweets containing user-defined keywords or hashtags. My blocklist includes keywords like Trump, football, and Star Wars.
