hey nerds - Twitter help

I only use Twitter exclusively to follow celebrities for work. I don't follow anyone else so as to keep the feed uncluttered.

I use LinkedIn for other work and news. I use FB to follow friends and news. And IG just for the hell of it, though I still fail to see what purpose it serves that FB doesn't already fulfill.
Yeah, I never jumped on the Instagram bandwagon.

It seems to have replaced Facebook as the to-go platform for posting pictures of your meals and vacations.

But since I have no desire to share pictures of my vacations or meals with online followers, I've never bothered signing up.
 
Almost everyone has their IG and FB feeds linked anyway, so there's duplicate posts on both.

The only difference are the IG "stories" which I don't think transfer onto FB, but who gives a shit?

I mean, I say this and yet I look at it. Thankfully I trashed Snap like two weeks after trying it - now that's a massive piece of crapp.
 
ok so none of you guys want to offer up any of your favorite follows.


do any of you have good lists I can pick through?
Go through our following lists and pick out the ones you recognize and like. Probably easier that way

I used to really dig twitter but now I find its just too much noise in an already noisy world. Follow a few comedians, some Seinfeld quotes, local news, that's it.

Twitter is the best. you can follow everything that matters in real time without all the embarrassing shit on Facebook and Insta.

I can't deal with facebok or Insta at all.

noise is not really the problem if you optimize your filters
 
the key is organizing your follows into tight lists.

never try to keep up with your home feed.

I guess I just don't care that much anymore. I don't need instant anything. I'll read about it once a week in the economist and that's enough. I'm too busy for hot takes.
