Basic word filtering was added recently https://twitter.com/settings/muted_keywords
I'm hoping one day there is something smarter.
I know RSS still exists but it feels like Google Readers death killed a lot of the blogs I followed off too. The new posts just got less and less and eventually stopped.
Didn't know about the mute words feature. Thanks! Apparently I'm not the only one who had that thought.
I'm not sure Reader and the death of various blogs is necessarily cause and effect. My impression is that, to some degree, personal blog content has just shifted to Medium, podcasts, Facebook, etc.--or just gone away after it became less of a "thing" to do.

RSS still exists even though Reader doesn't. I use Feedly although I admit that I don't carefully curate a large number of feeds any longer because, outside of a relative handful of people/sites I want to follow, I figure news will find me through Twitter and other sources.
