Decluttering X and Bsky feeds

One thing that drivers me crazy is how cluttered my social feeds are these days due to all the photos and videos and link previews. It just takes up so much screen space these days.

Is there anyway to turn the photos/videos/previews into normal links like old school twitter? Maybe a chrome extension?

    I don't have anything to recommend, but Bluesky has an open API so it seems like it should be possible to build an alternate client. It might be a fun project for someone?

    I've basically avoided twitter and it's spawn like the plague because the information density is terrible. Just a ton of wasted space on "aesthetics" that make it take longer to get the info you want, if not outright ads and other bullshit.

    With that said, you might want to look into RSS feeds and the like. I don't have any from twitter (not sure if you can anymore? I recall them breaking that on purpose) and dunno if it works for bsky, but if it does it can make things MUCH more information dense and gives you a lot more control over your media feeds.
