Twitter with an RSS feed is a waste of crawling traffic.

Suppose you follow 1k accounts, you have to subscribe 1k RSS. What a waste. Twitter's core functionality was based on how to aggregate all 1k updates into one feed.

There's a tool built by friends in the IndieWeb community called https://granary.io that allows you to produce a single RSS feed for lots of handy things - like your full feed, specific lists, or specific people!

This is something epic! It would be nice if I could filter out images though, like I just want the links from my timeline.

I mainly subscribe to sites that don't have RSS via Twitter. Or sites that the generator couldn't create a feed from.
