Instagram never directly told users it was limiting political content by default.

Thank god. Half the population isn’t smart enough to engage with it. If they’re smart enough to turn access to it back on, then they pass the test.
Political content was the rage-bait that caused so many people to go down this hole of brainwashing that led them turning into weird-ass Qanon folk. It would be better if people had to search this out specifically.
Yeah, that’s probably the main differentiator between Instagram and the hellhole that is Facebook.
Have you requested this feature from the lemmy devs? This place is 75% rage bait politics and fuck cars.
This place is too small for something like that to be practical, and operates in an insanely different way than Insta/TikTok, etc. We don’t follow people here, we follow subjects.
If you’re a normal functioning human being then seeing less political news on social media is a good thing.
Sure, but that should be your choice to make, not Facebook.
And you’re free to change it. It’s simply a default. What’s your problem?
Don’t like that it’s a default? Don’t use threads. Pretty simple decision making well adjusted humans are capable of doing.
The issue is not with Threads. The issue is with existing service Instagram, adding new settings and setting a default to exclude previously existing content. It’s equivalent to Lemmy disabling all feed and limiting you to local, while saying you are free to change in the settings.
