In search of a simpler Twitter experience

🤔️ Inspired by @craigmod’s tweet about using Twitter’s search to improve the experience I had a bit of a play myself.

Craig Mod posted a tweet explaining how using Twitter’s search can rollback the timeline to feel like “the good ol’ days”.

I took his suggestion and updated it slightly.

https://twitter.com/search?q=filter%3Afollows%20-filter%3Areplies%20exclude%3Aretweets%20-filter%3Alinks&src=typed_query&f=live

This does the following:

  • Includes tweets by people I follow
  • Excludes replies
  • Excludes retweets
  • Excludes links
  • Orders tweets by most recent

This already feels a more engaged reading experience. I’m likely to setup a redirect and Stylish profile to make this the standard Twitter experience.
