Yep, on Facebook, unfollow is your best friend.

When Trump announced his first campaign in the quaint old days in 2015, I began cleansing my Twitter feed of anyone who switched from nerd stuff to politics. After a couple of months I was left with no one to follow, so I left Twitter entirely. Good riddance!

Hmm I don't unfollow for the occasional politics, but for mindless spam (which could be politics, but not necessarily).

For example, I unfollowed someone who started to post photos of their every meal. And I unfollowed my own mother because she tends to repost every scare "chain letter" that comes across her :)
