Twitter makes it harder to choose the old reverse-chronological feed

The one feature I wish Twitter lists had is turning off retweets by account in a list. Currently, a retweet-generous account will pollute the entire list. You can turn off retweets only for accounts you actually follow, and it applies only to your main timeline, not the lists.

Yes! Or even a global "turn off retweets." I took the time to nuke retweets on everyone and now do it one-by-one when I follow new people.

If you're on Apple devices, you can do this with Tweetbot.

True for accounts you follow in Tweetbot, but unfortunately you can't disable retweets for individual members of a list inside Tweetbot. I really wish you could.

Ahh right, I misunderstood the parent comment assuming that their lists were comprised of people they also follow.
