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.
