I had weed it out a few of the really bad ones, but mostly just stopped following a lot of them. There were some that I fell into arguing with when they replied to things my sane friends had posted.

But, I simply just had too much heartburn, and made a point 2 weeks ago of just unfriending pretty much all of them, particularly high school friends who I really have had no contact with through the years.

I know my feed is more insular, it's just basically people who are politically neutral and liberal now. It's sort of hurts my heart, most of the folks I've cut out or otherwise okay. But it just was too agitating, and I'm definitely a lot happier right now.
