In case anyone wants to fully automate entering these in. I took @j6k4m8's snippet and expanded on it.

Visit https://twitter.com/settings/muted_keywords
Open your browser's dev tools (note: this does work in Chrome)
Paste the following code in:

const delayMs = 500; // change this if you feel like its running too fast

const keywords = `ActivityTweet
generic_activity_highlights
generic_activity_momentsbreaking
RankedOrganicTweet
suggest_activity
suggest_activity_feed
suggest_activity_highlights
suggest_activity_tweet
suggest_grouped_tweet_hashtag
suggest_pyle_tweet
suggest_ranked_organic_tweet
suggest_ranked_timeline_tweet
suggest_recap
suggest_recycled_tweet
suggest_recycled_tweet_inline
suggest_sc_tweet
suggest_timeline_tweet
suggest_who_to_follow
suggestactivitytweet
suggestpyletweet
suggestrecycledtweet_inline`.split(/\W+/);

const nativeInputValueSetter = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(window.HTMLInputElement.prototype, "value").set;

const addMutedKeyword = keyword => {
  const input = document.querySelector("[name='keyword']");
  nativeInputValueSetter.call(input, keyword);
  input.dispatchEvent(new Event('input', { bubbles: true }));
  document.querySelector("[data-testid='settingsDetailSave']").click();
}

const delay = () => {
  return new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, delayMs));
};

keywords.reduce(async (prev, keyword) => {
  await prev;
  document.querySelector("a[href='/settings/add_muted_keyword']").click();
  await delay();
  addMutedKeyword(keyword);
  return delay();
}, Promise.resolve());

also works on Safari.

thx for this
@freedmand :)

@freedmand's code worked in my case. +1 would buy again! Where can I send a few bucks for you to get a beverage?

The fixed delay in the code was not working all the time for me. So I added a wait until the add page returns before clicking on the add button again.

(function(){
  const delayMs = 500; 

  const keywords = `ActivityTweet
  generic_activity_highlights
  generic_activity_momentsbreaking
  RankedOrganicTweet
  suggest_activity
  suggest_activity_feed
  suggest_activity_highlights
  suggest_activity_tweet
  suggest_grouped_tweet_hashtag
  suggest_pyle_tweet
  suggest_ranked_organic_tweet
  suggest_ranked_timeline_tweet
  suggest_recap
  suggest_recycled_tweet
  suggest_recycled_tweet_inline
  suggest_sc_tweet
  suggest_timeline_tweet
  suggest_who_to_follow
  suggestactivitytweet
  suggestpyletweet
  suggestrecycledtweet_inline`.split(/\W+/);

  const nativeInputValueSetter = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(window.HTMLInputElement.prototype, "value").set;

  const addMutedKeyword = keyword => {
    const input = document.querySelector("[name='keyword']");
    nativeInputValueSetter.call(input, keyword);
    input.dispatchEvent(new Event('input', { bubbles: true }));
    document.querySelector("[data-testid='settingsDetailSave']").click();
  }

  const delay = () => {
    return new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, delayMs));
  };

  keywords.reduce(async (prev, keyword) => {
    await prev;
    
    // wait till the browser returns to the initial screen before clicking the add button again. 
    while(window.location.href !== 'https://twitter.com/settings/muted_keywords'){
      await delay();
    }
    document.querySelector("a[href='/settings/add_muted_keyword']").click();
    await delay();
    addMutedKeyword(keyword);
    return delay();
  }, Promise.resolve());
            
})()

julianwieg · 2020-01-25T11:48:48Z

thank you!

paaandy · 2020-01-25T12:05:52Z

YES thank you so much, always thought it an assault to force my eyes to read that stuff

mjy · 2020-01-25T17:17:35Z

@TylerBussel - I think you're right, this does nothing, maybe @IanColdwater can edit this gist so this is not burried.

I had been playing with uBlockOrigin settings at the same time as I was playing with these, and going back and replicating, even taking some time to see if things took a while to take effect- I can't see any effect/replicate what I initially saw. And there is this:

https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/1220872428605317122

Though if you read carefully there is wiggle room- they may have some other effect, but that seems to be grasping at straws.

But, until we get proof (screenshots(?)), this is bogus.

joshdance · 2020-01-25T19:34:40Z

I doubt this does anything.

Direct quote from Twitter "Hi Ian, muting these keywords won't actually change the number of suggested Tweets in your timeline. We are exploring ways to improve suggestions to allow you to further customize your timeline. More to come!" source - https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/1220872428605317122

Reason is none of these words actually appear in the tweet body. It is not 'mute meta data about tweets' it is 'mute words' which presumably only are in the tweet body.

GuillaumeRossolini · 2020-01-27T07:18:58Z

To the people for whom this didn't work: try switching your timeline back to chronological (instead of popular, or however it is called).
@TylerBussel @ronaldKM98 @mjy @joshdance

heygambo · 2020-01-27T09:39:19Z

This seems interesting but I'm not 100% sure what it does 😅

jimaldon · 2020-01-27T16:44:47Z

Does this also work on the twitter android client?

This has come up several times in the past. We made some changes to the timeline settings + someone released a JS plugin that did some blocking, so it caused some confusion and people thought muting via keyword mute did something.

What does this do exactly?

1. Visit https://twitter.com/settings/muted_keywords

Worked for me #firefox

orbitalflower · 2020-02-26T19:46:16Z

Muting these keywords appears to have no effect, at least in new web Twitter. Promoted tweets and follow suggestions still appear, and at the same rate as without the keywords muted.

I'm going to chalk this one up to the placebo effect. Adding these mutes and refreshing the feed will remove promoted tweets, but only because refreshing removes promoted tweets anyway. This reminds me of when D&D Online players believed that using the Diplomacy skill on a chest gave you better loot, so nobody could get a raid together without a high-ranking Diplomacy guy. Community moderators insisted that it had no effect, but nobody believed them. When the devs fixed the bug that let you talk to chests, players complained that their chest-ambassador characters had been nerfed and demanded the feature return.

Now, what was true is that in old Twitter, these "keywords" used to be used as CSS class names on Twitter, so you could write a custom CSS or adblock rule or something to hide these classes, and it would block promoted and suggested tweets very effectively. I suspect that at some point, someone got confused and thought these were keyword mutes, and the superstition spread because nobody tried to apply the scientific method to test whether keyword mutes actually worked.

Thanks for the confirmation.

MatthiasPortzel · 2020-04-20T19:20:39Z

I can confirm that this “works” when you first reload the page, but has no actual long term effect.

mandaputtra · 2020-05-18T07:12:26Z

@kaisdavis Yes you will see the expected user content, it just removes garbage
