Twitter "helpfully" shows suggestions, ads, tweets people you follow liked, tweets from people followed by people you follow, replies by people you follow that don't appear in their timeline, etc. etc., and the tweets are sorted however the app decides that day.

None of those things happen in lists.

Yesterday I noticed twitter had 9+ "followed by an account you follow" "recommended topic" "utter bullshit nobody godamn wants"

I think my other new favorite is having to click "more replies" after what, 8 tweets? Garbo.

Thankfully "Tweak New Twitter" in chrome cleans all that up. Along with some select muted strings to suppress promoted tweets. Ofc it also helps that I don't use twitter on mobile at all and confine it's use to my desktop computer.

Been a very good idea these past doomscrolly years.

you can use web app on the phone, Kiwi Browser supports extensions, so I assume it should work the same

And most of those disappear into thin air when you click on them, as if they never existed. There's a lot of stuff that Twitter simply buries.
