If you keep your feed on "following" instead of "for you", then the algorithm is irrelevant.

TBH I'm pretty confused why anyone uses "for you". For me at least, any time I accidentally wander over to that feed, the stuff it shows me is just dumb... not even political necessarily, just dumb clickbaity shit that insults my intelligence.

The only time I ever see hyper-political stuff is if I peek into the replies to a prominent politician. Highly recommend never doing that.

Why people feel the need to defend / make up excuses for a lying, unlikable, nazi symphasizing, misogynistic billionaire is beyond me. He doesn’t like you back, you know.
