Huh. Nice!

From my experience, there are people who constantly post memes, political things, or other low-effort content, and that's much of my feed.

Reminds me that I'm a bit sad that I can't tweak the algorithms myself, because I'd select _for_ posts that come without links or photos.

But I digress. I've unfollowed a variety of friends who post like that, but oftentimes I do still want to hear what that friend is up to, and the low-effort content posts are the price of admission.

And I've also generally unfollowed people that posted political stuff that I'd engage with. Because I struggle with letting inaccurate things go, and pretty much every political meme ever is inaccurate or unfair, somehow. So, better to avoid the temptation entirely.

Which, incidentally, is why it's nicer here. Political/religious discussions get shot down, and almost all of the content is new text written specifically for here.
