1. Switch from the official Twitter to using Tweetdeck

2. Unfollow everyone

3. Add them to specific list “js”, “rails”, “web3”

4. Create timeline with tweetdeck showing only the list. This way you only get tweets from people inside it.

Is this still available? I can see articles from 2013 about this feature (custom timelines), but I don't have this option in Tweetdeck.

With tweetdeck you can create a timeline for anything (search result, your regular feed, list, someone’s post, only posts with > comments or whatever)

You just need to create one timeline for each list you want to see, then you are guaranteed than these timeline will only shows tweets belonging to the list and you won’t get any random tweet coming from Twitter suggestion.

If you want to test, you can do the same with regular Twitter, just create a list and then display your list, it works as well.

It just that when you start segmenting your tweet based on lists, you better use tweetdeck to display many side by side
