Then just don't navigate to For You. I wish I could just see my friends on Facebook (those are the people I care about), but I can't turn off crappy suggestions.

With X I can control my own feed by using the followers tab.

On that note, Facebook suggestions are 3:1 or 4:1 in relation to my friends.

The reason I only visit FB once a month to check for messages from some people who still use Messenger.

My “For You” used to show me cool gamedev stuff from people I didn’t know.

There was a part of the suggestions that I liked! The algorithm was working for me!

Now it’s 100% pure toxic outrage bait.

Many would not open an account on truth social, since Twitter/X is turning into it seems logical to encourage/help people leaving.
This. Never ever go to For You on twitter.
The For You page is just an example, Musk appears everywhere on the platform, watch a video, swipe it and a video of Musk (totally unrelated) pops up. X is basically a right-wing propaganda machine now, which is one of the reasons I don't use it.
