@duodec I would like to, and I did for a while as mentioned in my post. Unfortunately I am friends with a lot of people out of the country, and that’s the only way they really keep in touch.

Local friends also use it to announce gatherings instead of messaging everyone they know. So that’s why I don’t want to unfollow them even if they like stuff I don’t want to see. I don’t care if they like porn, I just don’t want it in my feed.

Could just say no to facebook…

My name is @ruouttaurmind, and I fervently endorse this proposition.

Just say NO to social media!

Some family members use it and want the rest of us to do so also.

These people are important to me. And I owe them. Really owe them.
So I use it for that.

Sigh. I try to log in and check once a week. I usually blow that schedule.

But I never get pr0n in my feed. If I did I’d do something about it. Like unfollow someone. Or warn the person I’m going to unfollow them because of the pron.

Or whatever.

FB needs to fix this.

My sympathies.

In your case I might tell people I don’t wanna see their porn and can they just let you know by PM what’s going on or something.

Dunno if that would work. FB really has some problems beyond the ones that make headlines.

Sigh.

@RiotDemon Sorry it has to be that way, but I understand the pressure. I have flat refused to join faceplant (as we call it), and my wife independently made the same decision despite a level of ‘pressure’ from some family members. I hope they get around to fixing the problems that are getting to you.

FB really has some problems

Years ago FB was actually manageable. Decent almost. Users had options to control feeds and notifications. Casual users could easily navigate functionality and settings, privacy settings were obvious and powerful… but the more FB was “refined”, the worse it became. Now you have to be a power user to fully understand and control the content. It’s chaotic and unfriendly for casual non-tech users, and the ability to manage privacy and content has practically evaporated. FB has become Big Brother, telling the community it knows what’s best for them and foisting unwanted content upon them.

And so I choose not to participate.

@f00l I didn’t really want to tell the people directly that they are showing porn to all their friends. It’s so awkward. I don’t know if these people realize that Facebook shows everything they like to their friends.

There’s a few people that ask me why it takes forever for me to comment on photos on Facebook, I tell them because I hardly use it, so a few people will show me stuff outside of Facebook to make sure I actually see it.

@RiotDemon

Your call.

But if I “liked” something adult (unlikely in my case, not the place for that even if I wanted to share that material to someone [again, unlikely]);

And that sort of item went out into other people’s feeds;

I would wanna know about it, so I could be a little more discreet.

So I would be grateful if someone told me that pron or adult stuff I had liked had made it into someone else’s feed.

Otherwise some among these people might like something that then later shows up in areally wrong place.

@f00l thanks. I thought about saying something to one of the culprits the other day. I couldn’t bring myself to do it in person. Maybe I’ll send a message so it’s not so embarrassing.

@heartny phone, so no good on that. Thanks though.

@RiotDemon In the app, go to your friend’s page and click on the “Following” button. You should get an option to stop getting notifications.

@heartny it stops all the stuff in my feed, that’s the problem. Even though I don’t want to see photos or videos they liked, I still want to see the stuff they actually post.
