i wish each one of them had their own place that didn't have algorithmic-feeds... i left twitter b/c you never really are sure if you're getting the folks you subscribed to.
Simple solution to this: create a (private) list called "people I follow" or something, pin the list, and then just use the pinned list and never ever look at your actual timeline. It won't show you anyone who isn't on the list (though it will default to "top tweets" instead of "latest tweets", which means it will algorithmically pick from the people on the list; you can still change that now, we'll see how long for).
Tweetdeck (tweetdeck.twitter.com) lets you see multiple lists at once but basically doesn't work on mobile.
i just build my own little network tool... no algorithms, no censorship, no bullshit. invite who you want, have convos. it's not about "feeds" anymore. the way it should have always been.
having to "configure" twitter to do what you want is boring and unnecessary. but, good ideas!
Solid list! I'd throw in @LMSacasas for the most calm and considered takes on how technology shapes our world that I've seen. He also doesn't tweet a ton relative to others so it's not overwhelming to add him to the list.
Just now reacquainting myself with twitter after arguably making a career out of it around 2013ish, then ditching said career -- not sure if I'm enjoying what it's become. Finding value as I go along though, and fully appreciate this list.
Eric Topol becoming known primarily as a "poster" is one of the funnier outcomes of social media -- the guy wrote the protocols for recovery from heart attacks, I believe, that are still in-use today. And now he's posting.
I dunno, it's a bit funny that his three careers were:
1. Pioneering cardiologists
2. Genomics + technology in health care evangelist/researcher/impresario
3. Pure-play poster
Arguably many more problems in America today are downstream of our shitty information ecosystem than our clogged arteries or dysfunctional genes, but you still wish the big brains are working on the latter two problems.
Is there info available about what, if any, valuable data was gathered due to Topol, et. al's insistence on a delay? The article doesn't make clear what substantive data they were basing their trepidation off of. Topol appears very partisan and a weasel.

oh yeah, you should still follow people as well as listing them, that way they don't disappear when they go private.
again... more hoops to jump through. no guarantees that this will last / work forever...
As a former EB4E-er, will confirm Darrell Owens is a cool dude.

Ah thanks! I tried to include only high-volume folks! Always looking for new finds...
That makes sense! Gotta drown out all that nonsense on Twitter
Pretty disappointed I didn’t get called out as a top notch reply guy.
Seeing this post almost makes me want to get a Twitter account, but so far I still think I'm better staying away.

@michael1979 is the funniest guy on the internet and great at karate

Gotta add value where there's value to be added! And he is invaluable.

I remember Pseudoerasmus from the comments of this article:

Adam Tooze is the person I've listened to speak who knows the most about the thing they know about.
