The first is to be sure you’re utilizing the Following tab as a substitute of For You. This tab is simply tweets from the individuals you observe, so it does not artificially favor Twitter Blue subscribers. You may additionally strive blocking all retweets if you wish to clear issues up a bit of extra.
If that is not sufficient, you possibly can strive TweetDeck, the facility consumer’s model of Twitter. This instrument does not have a For You web page or any algorithmic sorting, which means Twitter Blue customers aren’t artificially boosted on it. TweetDeck is the one a part of Twitter that is utterly untouched by the latest adjustments there, and I hope this does not change. (So please, nobody inform Elon Musk that TweetDeck nonetheless exists.)
Another cool extension, if you happen to miss seeing legacy checkmarks, is Eight Dollars. Right now blue checkmarks solely present up if somebody is paying for Blue, which means most individuals who had a checkmark previous to April 20, 2023 now not have one. Eight Dollars can present you which ones customers had been verified earlier than legacy verified checkmarks had been eliminated, which is beneficial if you happen to trusted the outdated system.
There’s a cat and mouse factor to all of this, after all. Twitter’s present regime actually, actually needs to show Blue checkmarks into sellable standing symbols and any instrument that diminishes the visibility of Blue subscribers cuts towards that aim. They’re going to attempt to discover a technique to break this, and all related, instruments. For now, although, they work—use them whilst you can.
Or you possibly can simply abandon your Twitter account, arrange a public archive of your tweets, and discover ways to get started on Mastodon or Bluesky. Up to you.
