There must be a way to come to the fediverse to read about anything other than ICE, Trump and US politics, but I for sure can't figure out how and:
1. I actively avoid following people who boost US politics.
2. I actively try to stick to people based in...elsewhere that's not the US.
3. I disable boosts for those who boost ANY sort of politics.
4. I have hundreds of word filters.
5. I follow other languages than English.

And yet, every day....I'm force-fed what I'm actively trying to avoid.

I don't get it, that's why I'm less here than usual.
