Remove from friends? 5 alternatives to Facebook

People in social networks are annoying. No, not all and not always. Only those that clog tape their political IMHO, photographs seals and recipes. What are they doing in my friends?

Asking yourself this question, and I want to spend in the friend-tape "cleansing". But do not rush to remove all those with whom does not match your worldview. After all, this is your institute comrade, a colleague from work and a neighbor to testify. "Why you deleted me on Facebook'e ?!" - much more vexing question, believe me.

Be wise and prudent. Especially because there are other ways to "turn off" boring and uninteresting people from the information flow of social networks.

How? Read more.

Method 1 - sort news

The first thing to do - to restore order in their stream. Do not like the message ala "lost weight by 200 grams. - thank diet "? Exclude them from the feed. To do this, click on the arrow in the upper right corner of the news and choose from the following options:

• "I do not want to see it" (nothing more will not cause you to jealousy);
instagram viewer
• «Hide all from ...» (you can "get rid" of all the news of a particular person);
• «Hide all from ...» (if a person (like adequacy) shares the news that is not theirs, and makes repost of some communities, only the positions of the group can be removed).

As a result of these manipulations is your news feed will be much more informative and enjoyable.

Method 2 - use a filter on your friends list

We continue to restore order in the news. The next step - the use of lists, but rather the filter on your friends list. You know that on Facebook there are lists ( "Close friends", "family", "friends", etc.), which can be divided friends.

It is very comfortable. Especially if you create another list (eg, "be sure to read" or "interesting") and include the people whose updates you are always welcome. Then it will be enough to click on the name of the corresponding block in the list "Friends" (on the left, under the "Page"), and you will see the news only to those people who are on this list.

Method 3 - customizable updates from friends

If you move to another avatar, refer to a menu "Friends" and press the button "Settings", then there will be another way to make the air cleaner on Facebook. There you can select which updates from this person ( "life events", "status update", "photography", "games", etc.) you want to see in their stream. For example, if someone is abusing photos of a loved one, that way you can get rid of this information in your feed.

Method 4 - use a list of "Restricted"

When news feed became pleasant and the heart and the eye, you can move on to the so-called privacy options. After all, some people are so enraged that not only their news not want to read, but also to share with them.

To this end, a list of "Restricted" (some kind of an ambiguous name, is not it?). Just please make the people that do not want to share personal news, and they will not be able to see your photos, notes, and other materials that are not marked as "accessible to all". However, the "limited" will have access to publications, where they are marked. For the rest of you - an information vacuum.

Method 5 - filter the outgoing data

Another way to limit access to some personalities to your posts on Facebook - is setting the privacy settings for each message. You can put a label "accessible to all", "friends" or "only me", and can set their user preferences. For example, to specify a particular person or group of people who see this post is not necessary, or select a list, for whom the post, on the contrary, is intended.
