Avoid Twitter Trash: Add These 3 Lists to Your Feed and Find Your People

Twitter has a reputation for being a dumpster fire.

Using the “For You” or “Who to Follow” recommendations is a sure fire way to set your feed ablaze with toxic nonsense.

If you are new to Twitter want to build relationships, you need three lists.

1. Maybe: Adding people to this list allows you to sample someone’s feed over time. Consider this list to be “probationary.”
2. Definitely: This person brings value to my world. This is the feed that adds value to your world.
3. My people!: These are the people you’ve chatted with and if you knew them in real life, you’d enjoy chatting with over coffee.

Bonus Tip: When you’re viewing Twitter in your browser, bookmark your “Following” tab to avoid the “For You” default.
