I had nearly this same question a year ago

> The main facebook page is littered with groups urging me to “Follow” them. I don’t follow anyone. A maddening amount of them feature scantily clad women. I “hide” and “block” these, but they still show up. I was hoping the algorithm would get the hint that I don’t want to see a girl’s ass as she is bent over a car; or a comically endowed cartoon drawing. Yet they still show up. Is there a way to effectively change settings or do something to limit such posts that I see? Its as bad as the plethor…

I was constantly trying to hide, block, remove or whatever I could.

My (not completely satisfactory) was to actually ‘like’ things that were not of the sort. So now I get things related to tying knots, Calvin and Hobbes, and walking in the woods.
