Meta is now internationally limiting the political content you can see on their platforms. Here’s a quick guide on how to stop Instagram and Threads from deciding what shows up on your feed. (lemmy.ml)

That's a good feature, politics on social media is just a cesspool these days. There's nothing worth seeing because there's no political discussion, just name calling, climate change denialism, racism and transphobia.

Meta's well aware that everyone's tired of that uncle that just won't shut up.

Agreed.

Threads is actually kinda fun if not all of the spam and straight up harmless idiots. Meta is right for once.

There are plenty of other tools for politics and it's better kept in smaller more mindful communities rather than these pools of random algorithmic shit.

I disagree. It is not a good feature. Everything is political. The guide is trying to limit censorship of political content. Political content is what got TikTok banned. This account wants people to be political informed, and not to just drink the cool aid of western media.
