Adding to the chorus: if you need to apply a solution like this, it's probably time to walk away from the platform. (Well, the right time to walk away would have been years ago, but...)
I'd like to just quit twitter, but unfortunately the other places devoted to discussing some of the hobbies I go to twitter for, are much more toxic. Simply being able to filter out everything unrelated to the hobbies I'm there for would be sufficient.
I feel like regex and curated blocklists would get you pretty far before needing an LLM to continuously read your feed.
I'm wondering how successful the local options are, because sending your social media feed to an API that is also being used to serve you low quality posts your blocking is a pretty depressing ouroboros.
I find that using Control Panel for Twitter (not affiliated, just a happy customer) to see only the Following tab in reverse chronological order makes X tolerable. There is no benefit to For You.
Is there a tool to undo the extra weight added to paying subscribers? Analysis shows premium subscribers end up with 10x as much reach on average than people not paying.
Pay2Play was toxic enough on gaming, why would we want it in our social media?
I don't think that automated filtering on conditionals like "rage politics" is a good idea. At best, you're going to end up with a confusing feed that contains reactions to the outrage without the actual outrage that's driving them; at worst, you're going to end up systematically misinformed on political topics that people find outrageous.
I'm amused at thinking of the other effects this can be used for, rebrand it as a tool like that copilot recall and point it with child privacy in mind for the general internet.
or you know, require it for internet/computer usage for a very dim futuristic outlook.

Network effects are stronger than we are. People are there because people are there.
I know a bunch of people and companies who happily dumped the twitter cesspool. It has to be > 50% scammers and ragebots at this point.

I find not using twitter to be the best solution.
The only winning move is not to play.
It should also click "see less often" on every detected bait post. Heals the algo really well if you do that persistently

Simpler to just delete Twitter
You can also use "muted words" feature built right into X
This would be great for Reddit - the king of rage politics.

Better still, just don't use twitter or any of the other oligarch-owned sites.
What about this one?
Thank you for the laugh. Some probably need to be reminded of Sam Altman's roots, as much I detest what he's done to the word "open".
