It's a great idea.

I make a new Twitter account every time I realize I'm stuck in the same thought loops every day with the same timeline. And every time it's pretty annoying to restart from scratch.

I'll pick a couple accounts to start off the timeline and then autofollow Twitter's "follow these 7 ppl too" recommendation, but I often start following the similar accounts every time.

I'd like an easy way to try out completely different feeds without having to know ahead of time who I want to seed it with.

> Still don't realize it's twitter itself which is the problem.

It really sounds you would be better off by just deleting it altogether.

  • If you're going to insult me, at least insult me directly instead saying it in a weird roundabout 3rd person caricature.

    I get value from Twitter and I just acknowledged that it's quite shit, so you'll have to elaborate on what you think I'm missing. I don't like how it turns my timeline racist/political over time. I mostly follow indie gamedev chit chat. The community is on Twitter.

    Bluesky/Mastodon aren't a real option. They are a splinter group who complain about Twitter all day and everything is infected with just-as-rotten political discourse.
