I just trashed the word "tweet".

And I think my DU experience has improved a little bit. There seems to be less noise on GD.

I'm tempted to trash "Trump" and all variations, but there might not be anything left to read.

Along with "Kanye", "Kardashian", "Woody", "Ronan", "Farrow", "Jenner", "Jolie", etc., etc., et-fucking-cetera...

I think I'll follow your lead on "tweet" and see what happens.

I HATE those empty, look-at-me "Link to Tweet" posts. I put one user on Ignore because that's nearly all they post.

And 99% of the other "LTT" posts are void of content except a regurgitation of what someone else wrote without commentary or additional insight. Worthless to me in nearly every case.
