How to use Twitter

Today I saw a post titled How To Use Twitter, which has some interesting thoughts on how to improve the Twitter experience. And I guess the most important thing is not using the main timeline, but instead relying on the lists feature.

Itā€™s really a letdown that to have a good experience on the platform we should avoid the main user experience they are offering, but I guess thatā€™s the only way of really avoiding so many suggestions, likes and topics.

Itā€™s still doesnā€™t solve my gripe with having my likes to myself, but thatā€™s maybe ok for now.

This HackerNews comment (and following thread) also gives some indication that yeah, trying to mark those suggestions as ā€˜not interestedā€™ is not gonna help in the long run, but just make Twitter suggest worse content every time https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30271837
