Facebook Tool Helps Curb Annoying Friends

Facebook has now made it easier to see less from some of your more annoying “friends” on Facebook. I had friends recently who were going to delete their account just because of this. According to Jonathon Coens on the Facebook Newsroom:

“Last fall we introduced the Close Friends and Acquaintances lists to help you see more posts in news feed from your close friends, and fewer from acquaintances you don’t know as well.

Today we’re announcing a tool to make it easier to add friends to your Acquaintances list.”

When you add friends to your Acquaintances list they won’t be unfriended or notified. You’ll just see fewer of their posts in news feed.

To try the new tool, go to your Friends page, select the Acquaintances list and click See All Suggestions.
