twitter-unfollow

I use lists. I found https://github.com/KrauseFx/twitter-unfollow which moves all of your follows to a private list. Then move people from the private list to a topic list. I also use Tweetbot on my Mac, which allows me to filter retweets. That means I only see what people say. I do use another filter on my National Basketball Association list to block a certain keyword. The downsides of Tweetbot is that it doesn't support everything that Twitter offers (polls, probably fleets, etc.) and is about $10.

If you want to take the trouble to sort people into lists, I reccomend https://github.com/KrauseFx/twitter-unfollow It unfollows everybody you're currently following but moves them onto a list called "Old Follows". You can then move them onto specific lists. The nice thing is that you can look at a list and it will be in chronological order. No "Top view". I also paid for Tweetbot because it has one killer feature: you can filter retweets. That cuts down on the echo chamber.

I wrote an open source script for this a while ago, it's annoying to run due to Twitter API limits https://github.com/KrauseFx/twitter-unfollow
