Ask HN: What words do you mute on Twitter / X?

> BTS

The band [1]?

I asked because I'm building my own mute list. I realized that I'm spending too much time consuming these news on Twitter and I'd rather stay informed from better quality sources.

The list I have come up with so far is: @AOC, AOC, @KamalaHarris, Harris, Buttigieg, Milei, Putin, @nytimes, Headline, Washington, Governor, Israel, Iran, Conservative, Liberal, New York Times, Kennedy, Socialism, Communism, Musk, Elon, Biden, Obama, Clinton, Primary, GOP, Republican, Democrat, Tankie, Libertarian, Poll, Walz, Kamala, Vance, Trump.

If you are taking any terms from my list (or are already muting them), please do not completely tune out of US politics. It is very valid to decide that the cultural wars going on Twitter/X are purely noise, but it is a big mistake to think that because most loud people can only engage on a gaseous level, then public policies (and by consequence elections) do not matter and are not relevant in your lives.
