We Can't Change What Others Publish, But We Can Reduce Our Own News Feed Clutter
And Can Spread The Word!
After tweeking and twitching some settings on FB yesterday, I've noticed I'm generating more clutter in the news feed. I've also made the following changes to reduce the clutter I publish to the news feed.
• Float your mouse over "Settings" to the right of your name and click on "Privacy".• A new page will load.
• You will see "News feed and Wall" Click on it.
• For the minimum amount of clutter published to your news feed (from you), deselect everything.
• Click "Save"
You're friends will now have less clutter in their news feed. Reducing their clutter requires them to make the same changes, so share this link with them!
Thanks and good luck!
Send additional fixes you'd like to see blogged to robertemory@live.com -- and thanks in advance for sharing them!
I did this, but that only helps my friends by decluttering their feeds. I want FB to give me control of what I see in my feed.
ReplyDeleteI immediately hide all game posts, not friends, but their games.
Why won't FB give me the ability, for example to remove from my feed, my friends' activities such as friends they've made or groups they've joined.
Or, to go back to a minimally small list like it was before.
I have no idea. However, sharing this page with your friends WILL cut down on your clutter, providing they, too, want more privace, less clutter, and follow these steps. Good Luck.
