Weird Facebook Question

[MissMusic]

Is there any way to filter posts I see by keyword, so that I don't have to see them?

Example: if I don't want to read about carrots, is there a hack that will hide all posts about or containing the word "carrots"?

Because I'm ready to log off of FB for a while, again.  I need a place to escape and everyone has an opinion on everything they know nothing about, so yeah.  The joys of social media.

I'm not really good with all the technical things but I will hide posts I don't like then it gives the "see less posts like this" option. That seems to help a little bit.

Yes, like somethingcleverer said, you can use that little arrow think on the right top of a post and "hide stories like these" (or something like that). That's the best I think you can do.
I too am getting a little tired of the facebook opinions and can commiserate. Sometimes I want to yell at my friends "omg, yes. I know you are the best parent EVAR I don't need you post your humble brag everyday."

There's an app for that! I forget what it's called but I see it every so often. Looks great, but you have to allow it a ton of access to your social media.

I wish...I do the same as somethingcleverer and if the problem is coming from a certain person or persons I just unfollow them all together. I have done this with quite a few people lately and it has made my feed much better.

I'm not techy so I stopped using it and I escape with a good book instead. I just have the kindle app on my phone.

Are they linking articles you don't want to see? You can click the arrow and choose "hide all from (article publisher such as huffington post)". You can also go into your settings and change your filter to "strict filtering." Not sure how on a PC, but on mobile, go to the "more" button, then "privacy shortcuts", then "who can contact me", and finally choose "strict filtering". It works with your "close friends" setting. To change who you are close friends with, on mobile, choose the "close friends" button (under "more"). It will prompt you to add friends to that category of you haven't already. The two in tandem help filter out unwanted stuff in your feed.
You could also unfollow people if you prefer. I'm forever tweaking my settings, so I hope this helps a little.

I think I'll just drop off FB even more than usual. Aint nobody got time for that.

[snickers4everyone]

Yeah. Sounds about right. Plus, by the time you get your settings right, they change the whole thing again. FB is annoying.
