Explaining: How to Make People Disappear... From Facebook

Dad,
You recently complained to me that us “Young Kids” should get off of Facebook and go somewhere else. “I don’t care what it was founded for, it’s for sharing recipes and grandkid pictures now!”
Well, I don’t want to disagree with you. I’m not the biggest Facebook fan in the world, but, I think you know as well as I do that there are certain familial social obligations involved in Facebooking.
Fortunately, there is a solution that will solve your non-recipe problems.
Let me explain.
Let’s say you have a friend on Facebook that only posts random crap that you don’t care about.
It could be me, it could be someone else. I don’t care.

You don’t want to unfriend that person because it might cause all kinds of social drama that you don’t want to deal with. Like, if you unfriend me, I’ll tell everyone I meet for the rest of my life I was abandoned by my father.
So, you hide their posts!
Just hover your mouse over the upper-right corner of their post, and click on the little arrow that pops up.

Then, click on the words, “I don’t want to see this”
That will give you these options:

Just click where it says “Hide all posts from _____________” and you’ll never see them in your timeline again!
Click the little “X” in the upper-right corner, and it all goes away.

That’s really all there is to it. You’ll never have to read another annoying rant about why pizza rolls are the greatest food of all time, and no one is the wiser when it comes time to rant about who’s a jerk on the internet during a family reunion.
Later,
Matt
