Not without cutting yourself off from decent content.

My feed is 40% flat earth and seppo politics that I could happily just erase.

But the same application delivers updates from family and friends that I want to see.

I would sooner see a genocide against flat earther's than lose the connection to my social groups.

And I have tried, desperately, to use the in built preferences to try and avoid that content, if anything it just seems to make it worse.

Just mute or unfollow the divisive content. I’ve found it works pretty well and my FB is politics free.

  • I went through a period of blocking and muting everything that pissed me off. The bedrock, that I cannot shift, is flat earth nonsense. I can block every flat earth page I see and there's always more.

    And largely the problem with flerf "content" is that it is so unoriginal. If it wasn't the same 10 arguments (soundly defeated) over and over again it might be interesting.
