Quick tip for a happier Facebook

Sometimes my Facebook friends post things I don't want to see, and I get tired of it. They're pictures or stories I don't want to see or hear about, and am a bit sceptical about whether they're true or not anyway. If they were posted by my close friends I'd just try to ignore them, but since they're posted by people I don't talk to, I go one step further and unfollow the person. Just go to a person's profile and untick the box that says following, or click on the arrow on the right hand side of one of their posts, and unfollow from there. That way, you're still friends with the person, they won't know you've hidden their posts from your timeline, and you can reinstate them at any time if you change your mind or they stop posting whatever it is you don't like to see (e.g. those distressing pictures of sick babies etc. that sometimes do the rounds. My idea of a happy Facebook doesn't involve this kind of thing!).
