There’s a way I use one of my twitter lists that I wish were more seamless - I basically use it as my “secondary timeline”, made up of interesting people who I’m not sure if I want to follow yet. However it takes so many unnecessary steps to add and remove people from timeline 2

I suppose I could invert it, and put all my MUTUALS on timeline 2 🤔🤔🤔 feels inelegant though

fun secondary consequence: I mostly add people who follow me, so over time i get to develop a sort of fingertip feel understanding of the people (who I like) who follow-then-unfollow me 😂

The other interesting thing is that timeline 2 is always kinda slightly “weird” since it’s not timeline 1. If I notice someone posting good shit repeatedly, I bump them up to the starting team. T2 is more chaotic and unfamiliar

I get the sense that most people’s twitter timelines are not fun, wholesome, nourishing spaces...
