Here’s what your timeline was saying 14 years ago. twitter.com/search?q=filte…
(Be kind, we all had bad takes then, learned a lot about how to communicate more thoughtfully, and didn’t expect our words to be taken out of context many years later.)
To be clear: It's the tweets from 14 years ago of the people you're following *now*. Twitter doesn't know who you were following then, if you had an account. Also, content is very different as the limit was 140 characters, and the app had no hashtags or trending topics in it.
So, the reason this search works is because you can search Twitter not just by date, but by filtering the results to just people you follow. Using “filter:follows” can let you do things like this, the top tweets of the last week from people you follow: twitter.com/search?q=filte…
This can also be handy if you know someone you follow tweeted about a topic, but you can’t remember who or when. You can search for something like “filter:follows Prince” and find that tweet you lost. twitter.com/search?q=filte…
