How do you ‘unfriend’ on FB? I don’t want to quit because many of my ‘friends’ are family, out of town adult nieces and nephews with kids who I would never hear about but for FB updtes and pix. But I have totally had it with some and don’t know how to go about unfriending individuals.
“How do you ‘unfriend’ on FB? “
I don’t unfriend, I just block their posts from showing up on my newsfeed. That way they can rant and rave to no avail with respect to me. It’s like I have my fingers in my ears and I’m saying — I can’t hear you! Only they can’t see this.
I only do this for obnoxious posters — those whose purpose is not to share an opinion, but to spread propaganda.
Find them in your newsfeed or on a posting they’ve made (or in your friends list), as you hover over their link, a popup shows them as “Friends”, there is a menu item under that to “Unfriend”.
You can also just stop getting their news in your feed, by unchecking “Show in News Feed.” If they are relatives, that might be the most prudent option since then you can still go over there and see what they are up to without having it in your face every single day.
I have blocked several lib friends from my Newsfeed, not all, just the obnoxious ones posting “I saved big bird” type crap all the time. Some who said the voted Obama on election haven’t posted since.
