Yep Twitter is rather full of trolls and muck that gets inserted into your feed, making it a bit of chore to get to what you really want to follow. Personally, I've found Mastodon a lot better with choosing a node which has rules (or a common interest) that suites you. You can follow anyone (or hashtags) across the Fediverse, you get a chronological feed without adverts as every second post, and you can block whoever you want to - just ends up being more relevant.
