    Aargh now Twitter showing me replies to people I don't follow. I can't easily find the way to turn that off. Sigh the business model of all these platforms: they will do more engagement engineering all the way to more crises.

        I use lists a lot! Well, I tried. With the mobile update, Twitter broke lists. The functions appear fine but one of my most used lists disappeared on mobile! Filed bug reports, etc. No avail. (Also, I still have to manually add this tweet to the thread.🙄)https://twitter.com/recordtronic/status/1155201147461918720 …

        I recommend taking a look at the Lists feature. Make a list of the people you most want to follow, it will just be their tweets and retweets. It's not as convenient as it should be, at least currently, but it does allow control, and there are no ad (or other) injections.

        I believe if you set it to "Latest Tweets" that turns off.

        Also a BIG uptick in a propaganda-like and agenda-driven promoted tweets. It's awful.

        It automatically switches back to Top tweets once in a while, though.

        Don’t use the Twitter app. Use Tweetbot or similar.

        This is the constant manipulation of every social platform ,which thinks it should tell each one one us, what we should see, read, watch. I don't freaking want to see a single suggestion. It should be my choice and mine only and not some algorithm!

        If it's useful for future, this recreates the "old chronological timeline" in Search Latest tab or a tweetdeck column: filter:follows -filter:replies include:nativeretweets https://twitter.com/search?q=filter%3Afollows%20-filter%3Areplies%20include%3Anativeretweets&f=live …

        Hi 👋🏼 I think you’re referring to when we show a conversation in your timeline that has a reply from somebody you follow to a tweet from somebody you don’t follow? If so, we do this to help people discover new/relevant conversations for them that they’d otherwise miss ...

        ... If we get it wrong or if these aren’t useful, u can tap the “Show less often” under the carat and u should stop seeing them. I do agree we need to make it easier/clearer to control this. Also, the other replies are correct in that if you’re in “Latest” u would never see these
