I think if you mute the phrase " suggest_activity_tweet " and/or " suggest_recycled_tweet_inline " that helps to remove most of the trash notifications you are referring to.Just checked, I had these muted already but they're still putting garbage in there.

Hilariously twitter doesn't even seem to be able to catalogue these random topics right - I just got "suggested topic: rap" and the tweet was some lefty shitposter joking that Femi's article caused Starmer's approval ratings to drop. Not every black person is a rapper, twitter.

My favourite thing is scrolling past a load of tweets and then scrolling past exactly the same tweets again, this time with an "in case you missed it" heading at the top.

1.) Post tweet.
2.) "Oh, look! A notification of new tweets to be read."
3.) Scroll to top.
4.) It's the tweet I just posted.
I FALL FOR THIS. EVERY. TIME.

That's Dan Price, CEO of payments compnay Gravity Payments that literally no serious ecommerce company uses. He got a bunch of press for lowering his pay and giving employees raises, but there have been serious questions about how true some of that was, plus, apparently he runs his company like a cult, and his ex-wife accused him of absolutely awful torture and abuse, and somehow that has been totally swept under the rug. I had to block him on linkedin in order to stop seeing his shit reposted by everyone I've ever worked with.

Its rather surprising to me that these allegations haven't popped up again since 2015 or so. How this guy weathered metoo is beyond me. I'm automatically inclined to completely believe anything anyone says against him because look at his fucking hair and his smile.

I see Price’s abuse brought up regularly but never with the critical mass to end him, he’s not constantly in the news so he functions like a quote a day calendar for people who read books on entrepreneurship.

― jaymc, Friday, 7 May 2021 03:45 (two years ago) link
Yeah, that sucks, I found it very useful. Using Twitter's search to search for only links only among people you follow can get something very vaguely similar, but it's not nearly the same.
Twitter's api is so locked down that it seems worthless, but I considered using something scraping-based like https://github.com/twintproject/twintto try to roll my own nuzzel. Seems like it should be possible to get all link-based tweets that appear more than once among friends and/or friends-of-friends like that.

This is quite a story. An established opinion newspaper man has a shitpost twitter account.
This account sent me sexualised messages about whether Mary Lou McDonald “turned me on”, the size of my arse and called me a terrorist from the month I started at the Examiner. Since then, I’ve had to go to counselling and the guards. https://t.co/aueLtHkg80— aoife moore. (@aoifegracemoore) May 6, 2021

Think this also depends on the leadership around it. Left-wing candidates will gave little support from wreckers in the bureaucracy if the party if a strong left leadership isn't in place.
These results are bad but I’m not sure more left wing candidates would have done any better. Corbyn may have held Hartlepool but hasn’t Labour’s majority been decreasing fir a years now anyway? 1/3— Chardine Taylor Stone (@ChardineTaylor) May 7, 2021

Twitter is good for me lately and it’s because I follow less than 100 people most of whom are friends from real life or connections made via real life or ilx and only like two are “content creators” and I’ve disabled many people’s retweets, if you’re following 1000 accounts or more you gotta start over
