A thing with X/itter more than most social networks is you can choose your group. If you want white supremacists they are there. If you want top scientist they are there too. You have to be selective. I actually have three active accounts, one my normal one where I follow paulg and quite HN type stuff, a bitcoin focused one because I dabble but don't want that all the time, and I've got an old pro Russian Z account as I support Ukraine and was curious what the other side were on about.
It works best if you follow specific people who are leaders in whatever area you are interested in. Also if you use the 'for you' bit you have to keep clicking not interested on things to curate the junk.
