Unfuck Twitter

twitter.md

This will reduce Twitter fuckery by ~64%. Twitter is very user-hostile (by design), so don't expect to be able to get rid of all issues.

1. Go to Settings -> Content preferences -> Muted -> Muted words and mute all of these words:

   suggest_sc_tweet
   suggest_grouped_tweet_hashtag
   suggest_ranked_timeline_tweet
   RankedOrganicTweet
   suggest_recap
   suggestrecycledtweet_inline
   suggestpyletweet
   suggest_activity_feed
   suggestactivitytweet
   suggest_who_to_follow
   suggest_ranked_organic_tweet
   ActivityTweet
   generic_activity_highlights
   suggest_pyle_tweet
   suggest_activity_tweet
   suggest_recycled_tweet_inline
   

   Note: Make sure to select "From anyone" in the filter category. If you have already set up these words before November 2020, be aware that Twitter has probably reset the setting to "From anyone you don't follow", making the fix much less effective.

2. Go to Settings -> Privacy and safety -> Personalization and data and turn everything off.

3. In your timeline, above the tweet entry field, click on the stars to the right and set it to See latest Tweets instead. Important: Twitter hates that they have to provide this feature, and they will turn it off again randomly at which point crap will enter your timeline. Keep an eye out for this!

4. Go to Explore -> Gear icon in the search bar -> Explore locations and search for Åland. In the result list, make sure to select Åland Islands and not Åland, Finland. Nothing happens in this location and Twitter will stop trying to show you content that makes you angry via the "Explore" feature.
