don't follow content that makes you uncomfortable. seems like an easy fix any user can implement on their own.

I don't use the main FB app but when I have before it'd constantly show me stuff from pages/people/whatever that I didn't follow. I think it was mostly friends of friends, or stuff friends liked. Have they got rid of all of that now?

i just logged in to my account (i look about once a week) and everything i see that is not an ad is something i actively opted into or was shared by someone i chose to follow/friend.

Platforms wouldn’t be using algorithmic feeds (that include content a user did not opt into following) if users didn’t prefer it by their behavior.

I think users would overwhelmingly prefer chronological feeds, but that would reduce the time people spent on them...

Thing about Facebook is, it pushes stuff at you. Not stuff you'll like, stuff you'll _engage_ with. Last time I logged in it offered me a weird anti-trans Economist article. Life is too short to invite a robot to irritate you; that's why I don't use Facebook anymore.
