*sigh of relief*
This is exactly what I needed and didn't have the tech skills to even express as a request. Taking back my feed is really what it is. Up until now I've been manually muting, turning off RTs, unfollowing folks. It's just too much. I wish there was a feature of "Mute 90%" so I don't block it out completely. Thank you!

@mxgili I love the "Mute 90%" idea! I feel like that would strike a good balance between staying informed and feeling overwhelmed by news

@john_amadeo thanks! it was just a side note but I think it could be a simple and useful upgrade - track the number of mutes, un-mute every 10th item, for example.

haha even you guys mentioned Trump as block list example
Useful bookmarklet. No doubts of that.
Although I think it should nicely have word tops depending on the language.
In my case, almost 50% of the people I follow are spanish speakers, which makes me wonder also about muting the top 100 words in spanish (meanwhile, I'll do it manually).
Would it make sense to analyze also google trends, you think, to mute what is politically and from the media point of view, more annoying? What do you think?
Congrats!

@levelsio great idea! Any chance you'll extend this to Facebook? Seems like it would work great there as well 🙂
@levelsio@john_amadeo Any chance this can be extended to the whole internet?..with all the respect... the internet became mostly about American politics and news these days, for people who live outside the U.S this sometimes sucks..it would be nice for once in the last 24 months to use the internet without hearing about trump did today or why I should hate him or love him..(could care less about his hair, wife, sons, etc)...
@levelsio Maybe remove some of the text and make that part stand out. Internet peope cmd + w in 2 nano seconds If they don't immediately get it. I didn't even know twitter had a mute list.
