X (Twitter) User Guide: Curated Lists and Blocking AI Slop

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

The author provides an updated guide on how to effectively use X (formerly Twitter) in 2026, emphasizing the continued importance of curated lists for managing the feed. Due to X's increasingly hostile interface for chronological feeds, the author has migrated to using a single 'All' list that combines previously separate lists for AI, rationalists, and general following. The author also discusses strategies for blocking users, particularly those posting AI-generated content deemed 'slop' unless it's exceptionally interesting, to maintain a valuable feed. AI

IMPACT Offers user-level strategies for managing AI-generated content on social media platforms.

RANK_REASON The article provides personal opinions and usage advice for a social media platform, rather than reporting on a new release, significant industry event, or research.
