Any idea how you can mute/ opt out of topics like politics? Many of my trending topics are about politics even when I do not follow people around politics, have blocked words like Trump, Boris Johnson, and corresponding local variations, tell twitter I am 'not interested in this', and actively modify my twitter 'interests' once in a while.

Just don't use Twitter. :)

That worked better for me. Got more time to spend on HN and personal projects.

My best experience was using RSS to follow specific profiles. Still not worth it.

Adblock the trending pane, it’s algorithmic garbage that ignores your preferences.
