That hasn't been my experience with it, and I'm curious as to what usage pattern gets that result other than intentionally following accounts that post pornography. My account that follows and posts tech and general interest stuff gets tech stuff and politics in its discover feed. My account that posts bird photography and follows photographers gets photographs of animals and landscapes, and politics in its discover feed.

It's politics I can't avoid there, not pornography.

Yeah, I can confirm that I have to go out of my way to find anything NSFW on any of my feeds (even while following multiple artists who occasionally post some risqué drawings), whereas politics are unavoidable.

Granted, I'm probably part of the problem, since I do post (and repost) some political stuff every once in awhile, but still.

I mostly discuss politics. I’ve talked about some technology stuff on there too, but it’s easily 95% politics.
I should also note I have adult content set to allowed and all moderation categories set to warn or show, nothing set to hide. I can't recall seeing any porn at all outside of a couple searches meant to test the moderation settings.
