Hikin' Mama Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I have a FB friend who is of a different faith than me. Friend daily puts multiple memes related to her faith on FB. Kind of irritating, but I can live with it. Tonight there are 49, yes, forty-freakin' nine of them in a row. I can't really unfriend for reasons I can't say here, but I just might scream! ETA: Even if friend were of the same faith as me, I would be beyond irritated by 49 memes in a row. Just so you know that I am equal opportunity irritated. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I do with those people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanchGirl Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 just unfollow her and you won't get her memes in your news feed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word Nerd Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Just unfollow her. You will still be FB Friends but won't see her posts unless you go to her Timeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word Nerd Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Blocking is a step past unfriending. You would not still be Friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanaqui Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Forty nine? She found forty nine different things to say about her faith? Or are they all iterations on the same two things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikin' Mama Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Forty nine? She found forty nine different things to say about her faith? Or are they all iterations on the same two things? They are not things she herself said, but pictures with quotes and sayings such as one would find on Pinterest. They were from several different sources, but all sources dedicated to that specific faith. I'm guessing they are being posted on FB from all the different sources and she is reposting them.

zoobie Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 She's going to be unfollowed or hidden by ALL of her friends for that kind of crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2bee Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Thats why I'm not on FB or any other social media site. 49?! C'mon! If she is Muslim, the sudden influx could be because we have just had a big religious occasion and people are celebrating so it could be that she is re-posting things that have been shared with her from 49 different people. Either way, 49 memes is crazy and I don't care what they are on! Good lord almighty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellieK Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 If she is Mormon, they just had their big General Conference today and it will continue tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 49? I think that if God were on Facebook even God would be clicking the unfollow option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingmama Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 If she is Mormon, they just had their big General Conference today and it will continue tomorrow. Yes Mormons do love their General Conference memes. I'm one myself and even I would be unfollowing that person... I guess she wants something to do with her hands whilst she's watching.

PrincessMommy Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I wonder if there's any way to gently and politely say "whoa there, isn't that a little bit of overkill?" 49 is over the top..I agree, you won't be the only on unfollowing her.

VaKim Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 As stated above, just unfollow, then you won't see anything she posts unless you go to her page. Hover over her name and uncheck "following." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
