If you're tired of seeing heated political posts take over your Facebook feed, you'll be happy to hear that you can finally escape the madness thanks to an easy-to-use app.
Facebook users can now take advantage of Social Fixer, an application that allows you to customize your feed by hiding topics that you don't want to see, including politics, according to Money. Through the app's features, you can enter a series of political keywords or topics you'd like to avoid, and voilà — posts with those words or phrases will be removed from your feed. (There's also an option to unhide posts and keywords too, just in case you want to plug back in.)
What's more, Social Fixer includes a bonus feature that allows you to convert your newsfeed back to the reverse chronological timeline format, so that your friends' posts show up in the order they were shared, rather than in the order Facebook's algorithm prioritizes them. Right now, the handy tool only works from the desktop, so if you want a complete break from the political chit chat, it looks like you might have some unfollowing to do.
