You can unfollow friends to stop getting their posts on your feed. It's what I did to clean up my feed back when I still used FB. Made a huge difference in FB's usefulness.

Why not mute notifications of that type?

You can’t, because they’re just normal text posts

Interesting - but even in the worst case the friend could be silenced entirely

Wow. Almost forgot why I’m never on Facebook. Thank you.

What these people need is a Victorian diary. That's where you put stuff like your daily Heardle score. It's only interesting to you.

You deserve that and much worse for still using Facebook in 2023.

I’m such a rebel, I even press “allow” when Facebook asks nicely if it can track me on my iPhone.
