Facebook hasn't only recently come under fire for its news feed issues and ad blocks, it's been hampered by these issues for quite some time. You might not have been experiencing it as much as others, since it is a relatively new problem to the world of social media in general, but there are ways around it. You can utilize a number of internal and external keys that will help to debunk this issue on your main social media platform (if Facebook is your main platform, of course).
Due to the fact that Facebook temporarily blocks new apps from joining its platform, many have speculated this as an app-edemic and the downfall of the platform. It's been clear and growing ever-evident that the more we draw closer to the fall of net neutrality, the less free our social media use will be. That's only one way how the end of net neutrality will change the internet, but another very well might be Facebook's news feed, which can easily be amended simply by following these few steps.
See First
You can easily fix your Facebook news feed simply by toggling what you see first on the sight. Most people either forgot about this neat feature, or have simply ignored it throughout their time on the social media platform.
It's probably the most useful tool in the Facebook arsenal, for it allows you to specify exactly who and what you want to see first when opening the site. Go to "News Feed Settings" in your Facebook drop-down menu, then click on "Prioritize" and choose the names of people whose posts you'd like to see most.
"On This Day" Reminders
There's another more important concept when you're trying to fix your Facebook news feed; "on this day." These are a set of reminders prepared and alerted by Facebook concerning certain important dates, most of which aren't actually as important as you may think.
Chances are your Facebook news feed is being ruined by this feature, but there's no need to worry. You can easily remedy this situation, especially when you're alerted of sad anniversaries you'd much rather not see, if you go to "On This Day" page and click on "Preferences," then choose individual dates and/or people you'd like to be reminded of, or simply turn it off by choosing a period from before you joined the social media site to a day in the future.
Remove Politics from Chrome
Plugins are awesome. They can make surfing the internet far more than just a simple breeze, they give you features and tools that allow for a wide variety of options to choose from. However, they may also be hampering your news feed and you don't even know it.
To fix your Facebook news feed, there's a Facebook extension that's called "Remove All Politics from Facebook." It's as simple as a download, then takes nearly two seconds to eliminate all political banter from your news feed. It looks specifically for keywords that deal with US politics, a list of which can be viewed in the drop down menu after completing the download.
Other Browser Extensions
Facebook's "Remove All Politics" isn't the only browser extension you can utilize to fix your Facebook news feed. You can download a ton of different plugins and other extensions that will benefit your overall news feed, one of which is called Social Fixer.
Similar to "Remove All Politics," Social Fixer allows you to adjust and customize your news feed in a variety of ways. It can also ensure you're not endlessly scrolling over page after page of nonsense, or reading articles you're simply not interested in. It can also be used to hide certain Facebook features, like the "Trending" sidebar and other Facebook components.
Give Feedback
This is probably your most beneficial route in the trial to fix your Facebook news feed, since telling them what you want to see is the cleanest and swiftest way to rid yourself of unwanted posts and articles.
I'm not just talking about stupid political nonsense, "fake news" or the like. I'm talking about anything to everything. Every post on your news feed has a feature that allows you to tell Facebook, to its face, how you feel about the post. Instead of hiding how you feel, maybe it's best to tell them just what you'd like to see different?
Hide Post
Or, you can just hide your feelings to fix your Facebook news feed. It's literally called "Hide Post," and will ensure that any other post that's similar, or somewhat close to the original are all blocked thereafter.
Most people tend to completely forget about this feature, but it's the most powerful in fixing your Facebook. Simply click on "Hide Post," the same way you'd post your own feedback on the post as aforementioned. It's that simple.
Editing Options
Maybe it's not even you, maybe it's Facebook that's the issue. While you might want to see more posts on your friends and family, instead you're seeing more things on completely different concepts. This has become a major problem with the way the new Facebook prioritizes posts internally.
Instead of showcasing all, or at least most of the posts you would want to see, Facebook internally sets those that are of people and places you visit on Facebook more routinely. To fix your Facebook new feed, go to the Home page and select "Most Recent" from your news feed. Then, after clicking "Edit Options," select "Show Posts From" and choose "All Of Your Friends and Pages." From there you can either continue editing who or what posts you see.
Quit Adding Randos
You know, most would think it's an internal issue, but half of the time our social media woes stem from our own stupidity. This is obviously an individual issue, but most of us tend to ignore who we're adding to our social media, often through our own volition or through Facebook friend requests.
Don't ignore this, as the best way to fix your Facebook news feed is simply knowing who and what your adding to your social media circles. This goes for any and all other sites you may be using beyond even Facebook, since the people you add and the people who add you are what you'll be seeing most when previewing the site.
Unfollowing
I understand you have friends and priorities. I also can see how you may want to be able to fix your Facebook news feed, and unfortunately there's no way to make them both work in the same light.
Yes, there are a great variety of ways to fix your news feed, but in my opinion, unfriending those who have opinions you don't want to see is probably your best bet. So what if unfollowing people is the new silent treatment. It's fundamental in how to de-clutter your social media accounts and survive the internet age.
Blocking Posts
There is also another way to fix your Facebook news feed without having to block anyone. There's a little known feature under the "News Feed Preferences" where you can literally block a Facebook post simply by choosing "Unfollow people to hide their posts."
It's not that hard to clean up your Facebook news feed, you just need to know the right features and components to do it correctly. Blocking posts isn't the same as unfriending people, it's actually better since they'll have no idea you're not even paying attention to their reposts and political opinions.

My observation
10 sensible ways to know the genuine minds of people you met for the first time; When we are meeting someone for the first time, we are burdened with information. It can be difficult to know what kind of person they are. That’s why it’s important to communicate with a clear understanding. According to experts, 55% of what we convey comes from body language, 38% from the tone of voice, and only 7% from what we actually say. This means that when we meet someone for the first time, we have to take into account these three factors, in addition to what a person’s appearance may suggest. So, if you want to have a good understanding of someone’s personality when you first meet them, pay attention to the following clues—starting from the head down! Number 1: Eye Contact They often say that the eyes give light to the soul. The key to knowing which kind of eye contact someone is giving you is to consider the context. For instance, if a person steadily gazes at you, it could mean there’s an interest. On the other hand, when you look into someone's eye and he can’t look back at you, it’s a sign that he is either nervous or he has something else in mind,if you’re talking with someone whose look makes you uncomfortable, especially if he's steady and not blinking, something is definitely wrong, Number 2: Eyebrows: If you want to see how comfortable a person is, take a look at their eyebrows! There are three main emotions that make one's eyebrows go up: these are surprise, worry, and fear. Always raise your eyebrows when you’re having a conversation with a friend. An uncomfortable conversation can cause fear, worry, and surprise looks. Number 4:one can smile when it comes to smiling, the mouth can lie, but the eyes can’t. Genuine smiles reach the eyes, People often smile to hide what they’re so to know if a smile is genuine, look for crinkles at the corners of their eyes. If they aren’t there, that smile is hiding something! Number 5: Number Side Glance People who are warm and open to meeting you will have their bodies facing you, and they will look you in the eye. On the flip side, if you’ve just met someone and they immediately glance away to the side, this is a subconscious body language sign that means they are looking for an escape. Number 6:Frequent nodding Nodding is usually a sign that someone agrees with you. But When you’re telling someone something and they nod excessively, this means that they are worried about what you think of them or that you doubt their ability to follow your instructions. On the other hand, frequent nodding could also be unconscious gestures that are cues for the other person to get a move on, just like when a person keeps looking at their watch or touches their car keys. Number 7:Posture How someone carries themselves can give you some indications about their self-confidence. For example, if someone is walking upright with their shoulders back and looking straight, that gives an indication that they feel good about themselves and have confidence. However, if someone is slouching over and looking at the ground when they walk, that gives a much different impression. It may not necessarily mean that they have low self-esteem, but that’s the message it gives Number 8:Rubbing hands It is believed that the hands broadcast what the head is thinking. When a person is rubbing their hands together, it generally means that they have a positive feeling about something. People usually do this when they are hopeful about something good coming up in the future and they’re excited about it. Number 9:Handshake You can tell a lot from a person’s handshake. Soft and flabby, and they are likely to be submissive or a pushover. They are too hard and crushing, and they are possibly domineering types. The length of time is also important. Too long, and it’s weird, but too short could indicate some form of conflict. It’s possible that the person does not want to make a deep connection with you. But it could also mean that they don’t have much time. Number 10: Leaning In or Away If a person leans in towards you, it’s a clear indication that they are interested in you. What you might not know is that it’s also a sign of respect. When people come closer and lean in toward you during a conversation, it shows that they want to confide in you. It makes you feel trustworthy and valued. If someone leans back, however, they show that they are tired of the conversation, or perhaps they feel uncomfortable for some reason. . Number 11: Crossed Arms and Legs Have you ever had a conversation with someone who crossed their arms or legs while you were talking to them? If you’re on a first date or if you’re trying to pitch someone a new idea, it’s not a good sign. Crossed arms and legs are physical barriers that suggest the other person is not open to what you’re saying. Even if they’re smiling and engaged in a pleasant conversation, their body language tells the story. Psychologically, crossed legs or arms signal that a person is mentally, emotionally, and physically blocked off. On the same note, the direction of someone’s feet is also quite revealing. A person who likes you will have both feet facing in your direction. However, if their feet shift towards the door, it means they’ve had enough and want to leave. Number 16: Shoes: A person’s shoes can tell you a lot about their personality. Apparently, we all make judgements about people’s shoes, but studies show that they are pretty accurate. Nervous people will have new or very clean shoes. Amiable types will wear practical shoes. Calm people have an affinity for uncomfortable shoes. And aggressive people wear ankle boots. Just take a look at your own shoes. Does your personality type fit in with them? Number 17: Overall Appearance How someone dresses and presents themselves can say volumes about them. If the person has their hair in place, their clothing pressed, and they show attention to style, they may be very detail-oriented. Someone with a more casual wardrobe or “bed head” might be creative or just mercy and many more.with this little tips you will be able to detect someone around you. Thanks for reading and remain blessed.

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.
