I'd unfriended someone who was always posting religious stuff and she didn't take it well, another couple were swamping my feed with their latest multi level marketing venture - they're gone.

A friend of mine is a huge Jeremy Corbyn fan and is convinced he's coming back to save the labour party

It's absolutely hilarious to read her posts and links so she's staying

Thats why the mute button works quite well on twitter. You can mute people so you dont get to see their repetitive crap without unfriending them and hurting their precious feelings.

when I made all my posts ( for my memories ) I was surprised the people who messaged me when I made them public again, even a dad of someone who my daughter met through dog training, lived 140 miles away, I had spoken to him few times at a camp we went to, but he missed seeing what my girls were upto, he even went to a England netball game in the copperbox as he had seen me posting about it being "end to end and exciting " so he thought he would check it out himself

And then the entire internet applauded.

There's the same mechanism on Facebook.

‘Friends Reunited’ was about for a while. Perhaps the Facebook rise scuppered that.

I have family and friends of family that post religious, political, motivational stuff, math problems, lists etc all the time on FB. I just click on the option to stop posts from that site. I still do it on a regular basis, but it's just a couple of clicks and I don't want to put them on ignore.
