Instagram never directly told users it was limiting political content by default.
If you’re a normal functioning human being then seeing less political news on social media is a good thing.

Sure, but that should be your choice to make, not Facebook.

And you’re free to change it. What’s your problem?

Thank god. Half the population isn’t smart enough to engage with it. If they’re smart enough to turn access to it back on, then they pass the test.

Yeah, that’s probably the main differentiator between Instagram and the hellhole that is Facebook.

Have you requested this feature from the lemmy devs? This place is 75% rage bait politics and fuck cars.

This place is too small for something like that to be practical, and operates in an insanely different way than Insta/TikTok, etc. We don’t follow people here, we follow subjects.
