Is stocktwits after hour just pump and dump noise or is it actually useful

I've been trying to figure out stocktwits for like the last few months to get stock ideas and honestly I can't tell if it's useful or if I'm just wasting my time scrolling through absolute garbage

Like every other post is literally someone screaming about how their penny stock is going to the moon with rocket emojis and zero analysis, then you check their profile and they've been pumping different tickers every single week. The verified accounts seem maybe slightly better but even then it's really hard to know if they actually own what they're talking about

After hours is when it gets even worse somehow, just becomes this total echo chamber of people hyping each other up on plays that probably won't work out. I tried filtering for specific tickers but the signal to noise ratio is terrible

Maybe I'm not figuring out how to use it right? Like is there some way to find actually good contributors and filter out the noise or should I just accept it's not designed for serious analysis, what do you all actually use for stock ideas and market sentiment
