Simple Proposal to Save Friendships on Facebook

2 pointsby Randgaltover 8 years ago
I don&#x27;t always post political stuff on Facebook but I do it a lot more than many of my friends would prefer. My Facebook posts can generally be categorized as:<p><pre><code> * Politics&#x2F;Current Events with a strong point of view * Politics&#x2F;Current Events with a socially acceptable or funny slant * Non-poltical personal interests * Funny animal pictures </code></pre> Currently, Facebook allows me to categorize my posts and to put friends into different buckets. However, they do not allow friends to subscribe&#x2F;unsubscribe to my categorized buckets. The only choice a friend has is get all of my posts or to ignore all of my posts.<p>A very simple feature would be to allow friends to unsubscribe from my posts with a strong point of view. The technical challenge is trivial. This would save a lot of relationships.

Some might argue that if your relationships are threatened by your views&#x2F;being yourself, then they&#x27;re not worth having to start with. Although that said I do understand where you&#x27;re coming from.
