I'm in the United States.

It's really not any different here. For good or ill, this is the Twitter-nature.

I deleted my account and made a 'connection-less' one so when I follow links and see tweets directly on Twitter, there's no further engagement to be had, beyond looking at whatever is 'trending'… which is literally, what you describe, localized. I am looking at whatever third parties are trying to promote as the 'vox populi', with a certain amount of organic interaction/reaction with it.

It's the twitter-nature. I know you're not wrong here.
