The way the algorithms and the current approach work, there is really no way to participate on a platform and not get slowly pulled into the extreme machine one way or the other. It's not just politics, the algorithms are geared towards driving you more and more into that world and maximize your attention. I wish there is a mellow mode where the platform just shows you everything. I like reddit for that reason, I can control what aspects I want to get into and block everything out. I don't think FB has an incentive to fix their stuff. They also have fully gone on to the "lets cover up things and spend on lobbyists and PR" mode, nothing is going to change.
