I am trying to curate my feeds with mutes, blocks and "I want to see less of this" to cultivate an art/science/nature/programming feed, and the app keeps shoving politics and rage bait down my throat. Custom and Following feeds help, but I want to... "Discover" new people, not lock myself into a pre-prunned garden.
In particular, the above list is ok for avoiding the awful slop, but the devs need to be much more aggressive (if they have the will, of course) about understanding and respecting user choices.
Even engagement with this post is suspicious tbh, and there are many accounts at the ready to counter any naysayers. It seems like an attempt to win favour with those in the tech community.
So no, I don’t need filtered lists of already-generated AI slop.
treedump is particularly helpful.
