> What I would enjoy would be a button to hide all the accounts that post more often than once per day. Because chances are the people who talk too much have no time to think about what they're saying.

This is why Twitter should be an open protocol, and people should be able to write their own UserAgents. Users should be in control of the filtering, not the app or the company.

I have been trying to transition to mastodon/pleroma.

ActivityPub is an open protocol for this kind of thing.

I use twitter as an external brain not that dissimilar to a a Xanadu inspired Memex intermixed with a Zettelkasten.

Maybe you could pay $2.99/month to your Mastodon host, and the ads can go to hell.

But Twitter already permits third-party apps that have no ads. I use one daily.
