> Twitter use to be a place to find folks of common interests, but its been flooded with political and other highly annoying topics that I prefer to avoid.

Unfollow those people. It doesn't make any sense to follow a lot of people and then get angry about the content they're posting.

Like I said, if you let your follow list grow unbounded and you never go back and remove people, you'll eventually be flooded with content you don't want to see.

See someone posting politics and topics you prefer to avoid? Unfollow.
