My feed got stuck on a depressing news loop for three days straight

The algorithm kept serving me the same grim story from different outlets, and it took manually clearing my history across two devices to break the cycle. Has anyone found a better way to reset a doomscrolling spiral?

Two devices? That's some serious commitment just to get a normal feed back.

It's not that much work, @piper779, just how I like to see things.

Wyatt's got a point, it's just a different way to browse.
