The political effects of X's feed algorithm

I deleted my account after many years when X recently made the Chronological Feed setting ephemeral, defaulting back to the Algorithmic Feed each time the page is refreshed.

No away I'm going to let that level of outrage-baiting garbage even so much as flash before my eyes.

I just click "following" at the top and never see anything I didn't ask to see. It resets once every few months to the other tab which I assume is just the cookie setting expiring.

Train it: I just have to spend 3 minutes every other year to tap the 3 dots on every post and choose "Not Interested", for an epic feed unmatched anywhere.

Train the algorithm so that you can be the sort of product you want to see in the world
