Now you’re almost ready to go, but first, you’ll have to log in and authorize your command-line client. Next, install the t gem: gem install t, and because it’s a bit old, downgrade the twitter gem: gem install twitter -v 6.1.0 & gem uninstall twitter -v 6.2.0. Once that’s done, create a new, dummy app you’ll use for this. For the latter, if you haven’t done so yet, go to and apply for one unfortunately, it can sometimes take days for them to approve you. What you need: Ruby 2.4+ installed on your computer and having a Developer account at Twitter. Now, you can, of course, go through each and every person you follow and manually add them to your “Unfiltered” list, but that’s going to be very time-consuming, so we’re going to use some command-line magic to do this in one big swoop. On Desktop, you’ll find it under Lists but of course you can bookmark that as well. Here’s the list I use, pinned on my timeline and I can just swipe right to read it. So all you need to do is put everyone you follow on a private list you can even pin that to your timeline on iOS (and maybe Android too?). More importantly, the fact that muted words do not affect lists. But Tamas, you ask me, what if, from time to time, I do want to see what everyone’s tweeting, without any filters?įor that, we’ll employ another Twitter feature: Lists. So, great, you’ve cleaned up your timeline and now it’s 50% less anxiety-inducing. But I find that to be, in a way, an advantage: my American Politics filter, for example, lets just enough stuff through that I still know what’s going on most of the time. Muted words is not a perfect solution: you’ll never be able to filter something out completely. To give an example, here are the words I filter right now to cut down on all things coronavirus: quarantine, COVID19, #COVID19, expose, virus, pandemic, coronavirus, covid-19.
