In classic fashion, some people decided to write a script to automate entering the mute list, something that took me maybe 2 minutes in total to do manually. [1] https://gist.github.com/IanColdwater/88b3341a7c4c0cf71c73ac5...
Life got so much better after blocking "@threadreaderapp unroll" Interested to see how these work.
If you don't like the way desktop Twitter periodically overrides your system settings and returns you to "top" tweets, try Twitter System Saver: https://github.com/kentbrew/twitter-setting-saver

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.

Twitter (unintentionally, I'm sure) built an adblocker into their app
I don't think this will block adds, based on the keywords. I would love to block all twitter commercial adverts. Presently I block them on sight and now get only adverts from small companies.
Worked fine BUT still seeing "X liked" or "Y retweeted". Any suggestions to get rid of those would be awesome.
Things like that appear in a separate column, which you can hide.
If you want to see tweets in order, or not see promoted tweets, or not see tweets faved by people you follow, just use a third-party app.

Toxicity seems to be a code word for "the plebs are saying things that I don't approve of".
Nah, it means "people being mean and awful, by a reasonable person's standards." Obviously this is somewhat subjective, but abstracting it into "things I don't approve of" misses the point.
Awesome, added it to my twitter. After refreshing, I wish there was a way to remove "Promoted" tweets still.
Yet, after a few months “sober” I wonder if I might be missing out. Is the signal to noise ratio high enough to justify using Twitter these days if you are not a major celebrity and don’t intend to promote something?
