That's the ticket. I did the same. Still friends, because staying connected on FB does matter to me on some level, but I don't see the political thoughts that annoy me. For what it's worth, disagreement != annoying. I still read the stuff published by people I disagree with but find challenging in some way, and unfollowed people I agree with but who present their views in frustrating or obnoxious ways. This is purely my own experience, but I find that I need to be in the right mindset to read something that's going to challenge me. If I'm scrolling for a few hits of updates from people I care about, I'm not going to be in the right state of mind to read something that's going to get me riled up. The bubble may or may not be inevitable, but it's a necessity. Being aware of feedback loops and managing your own media intake is probably more important than finding ways to prevent those loops entirely, IMO.
