Yeah it looks like something that accidentally works because of their implementation rather than something they actually want to be possible.
Maybe it's a "backdoor" added by some lower level devs who don't have access to the official controls for hiding the spam for themselves.
Must enter one by one? Can't I copy and paste everything?
If you look at the request it does, use "copy as curl", replace the word with "$word", and put it between: xclip -out -selection clipboard | while read word; do ; done Then you can probably do the whole list at once. There is probably also a javascript way to automate this, but if they do it with ajax, this might be faster. Since I do this sort of automation regularly, I aliased the clipboard pasting to "c-v"[1] and…
Also, if the JS way would use AJAX, it would take the exact same time to perform the requests via the browser, as it would with curl, unless there is some particular quirk with their server/setup/deployment/god, or if you have a computer that doesn't run Twitter (the client side application) so good (bottleneck in cpu/ram rather than network speed)
You can just switch from "Home" to "Latest Tweets" and all of this goes away.

LOL. I block Twitter at the DNS level. I’ve never missed something important.
This is ostrich behaviour. "La la la, I can't hear you, you're not saying anything important"

As Twitter grows, they stray further and further from just showing you tweets from people you follow, and start showing all sorts of other crap you didn't ask for in your feed, such as "person X liked this tweet" or "here's a tweet from someone you may like", and so on. There is no "official" way to disable these annoying entries in your feed, but over time people have found secret "tags" that if you put in your mute…
The official way is to switch from Home to Latest Tweets. It works quite well, actually.

Except the list doesn't show more than 200 tweets (unless there's some trick to avoid this). If there's a sudden spike of activity, or you check it only once a week, it's easy to miss something important.

john carmack for example often updates on his twitter. a couple of programmers & artists i like too. also the trends column is the most accurate "mood indicator" ever.
