For those (like me) trying to wean of #twitter might I suggest nitter as an intermediate step?
While the project isn't as active anymore as it used to be there are still servers that work (xcancel.com, nitter.poast.org are the ones I use) and their occasional downtime helps you realize that twitter isn't that important and you're just a monkey addicted to a dopamine hit. 😄
Nitter gives you a readonly view of twitter that:
- is ad-free
- has chronological order of tweets
- no algorithm injected nonsense
Following multiple profiles is as easy as adding them after the url like so:
https://nitter.poast.org/stackhodler,macroscope17
and bookmarking the url.
More than a handful accounts per url might break the service more often/not work at all so I only use it for a few select accounts I deem high signal that aren't yet on nostr.
If you really need more, splitting into multiple bookmarks also works and makes it easy to group accounts by topic.
