You should use lists to organize discussions around topics you are interested it.
For example - I can create a list of lead-runners on Machine Learning and add the people I follow who are well-informed on the topic of Machine Learning to this list.
Then when I view my Twitter Feed - I can choose to instead look at a feed from a list. If I want to get "What's Going On" in Machine Learning, I visit that list and see a feed from these leaders of Machine Learning.
Do this for all of your interests and you can organize your feed to get a quick grasp of what's going on everywhere instead of being blasted by noise on your main feed.
I have a "Hacker News" list with Paul Graham, Jessica Livingston, Paul Buchheit, Sam Altman and maybe some others. I have another list of tech people I've met locally. I remove anybody who posts lots of noise. I check approximately once a day and I almost always see multiple interesting things.

None. Except for one Slack channel, which is directly derived from a subreddit.
Used to go to a country-local gamedev forum, but the owner stopped caring and eventually the community started their own website. I still have a reminder each year for the domain expiry date although I can never catch it. My plan is to give it back to the community. Edit: went a bit off topic there didn't I.
I ride my electric bike to work everyday in Silicon Valley consistently beating google driving estimates by 10 minutes as I get to use the underused existing bike lanes while moving at around 30mph/50kph.
