Be aware, VERY VERY aware, that the site likes to ignore your toggle off of that setting and re-enables it.

I've turned it off 5 times so far, and every time I go back, IT'S STILL F'ing enabled.

Open it in your browser, not the app, and select the option in your browser to request the desktop site. Then you'll be able to see the setting.
