I can't use Twitter, I don't know how to use it. Sometimes I do these "latest" searches in order to see if GitHub or something else is down, or when there's a breaking news of worldwide relevance in order to get to know what's happening. But even these searches are 95% useless junk tweets in between of some relevant tweets.

The "following"-thing hasn't worked for me for around a decade, there's just too much garbage in the stream or main page or whatever it is called.

And for a couple of months now I've noticed that when I use it on a device which is not logged into Twitter, usually because a Reddit post leads me to it, it has agressive Instagram-like tactics in wanting you to log in or sign up and in that state has the same aggressive, unwelcoming vibe which Pinterest has.

Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter.
