So I uninstalled the app a few days later.</text><parent_chain><item><author>jonathansizz</author><text>I don&amp;#x27;t understand why Twitter never implemented some sort of categorization feature. There are many individuals that I&amp;#x27;d follow if I could just get a subset of their tweets in my feed.&lt;p&gt;For example, I might want to follow scientists&amp;#x27; tweets on science, but not their political or favourite sport team tweets. Right now it&amp;#x27;s either all or nothing, but why can&amp;#x27;t people categorize their tweets so only people interested in them see them? This would be better for both parties.</text></item><item><author>FiloSottile</author><text>&amp;gt; New Tweets that begin with a username will reach all your followers.

They surely have the ability to discern political posts from non-political ones, but the only control over what appears on our news feeds is follow&amp;#x2F;unfollow.</text><parent_chain><item><author>jonathansizz</author><text>I don&amp;#x27;t understand why Twitter never implemented some sort of categorization feature.
