likes and replies from other people displaying on the timeline

is there a way to avoid replies and likes from other people to appear on the TL? this is the worst thing on twitter and I started using this addon exactly in order to avoid this problem

i'm also having this problem, started yesterday. i have an extensive set of mutes that worked really well before then (i've been using this plugin since the week it was made available).

edit: tweets are also being posted out of order when clicking "show new tweets", sometimes refreshing the page fixes this, sometimes not.

Having the same issue.

Same, I'm now using a simple userstyle to hide replies and likes:

.tweet[data-component-context="suggest_activity_tweet"],
.tweet[data-component-context="suggest_sc_tweet"],
.tweet[data-component-context="suggest_pyle_tweet"] {
  display: none
}

e; oh, this does not actually hide all replies yet. Those need a different kind of selector, I think.

Same issue for a few days now. Also showing random tweets from people who are followed by people I follow. And twitter doesn't scroll endlessly anymore with this addon T__T

apparently the problem is solved. I scrolled 6 hours worth of the timeline and there were only two liked tweets from other people. thank you!

I'm still having liked tweets popping up in my timeline. It seems to happen whenever the timeline gets updated with new tweets... or any other event that requires the timeline to refresh itself, for that matter.

Still having likes and replies and the like showing up, even with those filters and the addon. Sometimes refreshing the page will fix it, but other times Twitter will still load in with all those extras.

Same problem, unfortunately.

As annoying as it is, Twitter changes are not the fault of the plugin's creator. They made it for free, on their spare time. If they can fix the issue that would be super, if not that's life, but either way do you think insulting them is really going to motivate them to do so ?

Sorry, I was in a bad mood when I wrote that post earlier. I didn't want to give the impression that I'm blaming the plugin's creator for this issue. Of course this is the fault of Twitter changing something in their backend.

I'm just frustrated at the complete lack of a response so far. If the creator can't find a way to fix this, he should simply say so instead of leaving people hanging for over a week. If I knew that no fix was coming, I could simply uninstall this plugin. I don't like Twitter's new design, but it's not worth clinging onto the old one if it doesn't work properly.

At any rate, here's the bit that's relevant for potentially fixing this issue: I always have to refresh Twitter twice to get rid of all the tweets I never asked for. And like one person above me said, the timeline can't be scrolled down very far.

What is there to say? This is a basic user agent plugin, Twitter breaking usability is neither the scope nor the responsibility of the plugin.

My recommendation for the limited scrolling down of the timeline is to scroll down until it stop you, then go back to the top of the page. From there, hold down Page Down. Keep holding even after you hit the bottom, after a second it will load some more old tweets. Do this a few times and eventually the dam will break and you should be able to scroll normally.

Would give a +1 to fixing this. Love the extension BTW - thanks for putting it out there!
