Social networks have become an extremely powerful tool to communicate with people around the world, but at the same time it has become a double-edged sword with which to receive comments and opinions that would have been better if they had not had to read them . But don’t worry, we have the solution.
The art of blocking
Would you be able to erase someone from your life so that you would not have to see them again? That is more or less what social networks allow with the help of blocking functions , however, if you are not extremist measures and you prefer something more politically correct with which not to attract too much attention, you are in the place suitable.
How to hide posts on Facebook
The first thing you could do is hide certain people or posts from appearing in your feed. The feed is the main page where you see all the publications of your contacts and pages that you follow in cascade, so by preventing them from appearing, you will stop seeing them.
It is important to note that this action is not a block, so the person or page can continue to see your photos and publications normally. You would simply be ruling out that their publications appear to you every time you open Facebook. Tired of those brother-in-law messages? Do you want to make that fan of your rival team disappear who only laughs at your losses? The mute button will take away more of a problem.
To perform this action you have three options available, and that is that you can hide a specific publication and avoid similar publications (according to the Facebook algorithm), stop seeing publications from that account for 30 days or permanently silence that person or account so that you never the more you receive their posts (but you will remain friends on Facebook).
To select one of these options you just have to click on the ellipsis that you will find in the upper right corner of the publication, and choose the option you need at that time.
How can I undo a crash?
If you have hidden a post or a contact, you can always undo the changes to give it a try again. To do this you will have to access the preferences of the news section by clicking on the option that you will find on the main Facebook page, within the drop-down menu of the upper right arrow.
Block someone on Facebook
If your patience has run out and you want to prevent someone from contacting you or knowing about you with any type of publication, the most radical and effective solution is to block it so that it cannot have any contact with you. As in previous options, you will have to enter your account settings and access the Privacy section and then Blocks to enter the name of the contact you want to block.
We will meet again
Finally, if what you want is to end a friendship in good manners, you can always choose the option to stop being friends . This option will not notify the other person at any time, so you can do it in secret. You will be the person to blame, but at least you will stop beating yourself up by seeing his luxurious and happy life with his posts. You have stopped being his friend, but perhaps at some point your lives will intersect again in a simple tagging of a meme.
