"And, still, every couple of days Facebook forgets that I've set my sort to "Most Recent" and goes back to "Top Stories""
This is by far the most annoying thing for me. That and the likelihood that most people don't realize that setting is there, and assume they're getting posts in chronological order.
EDIT: my solution, btw, is to make a bunch of my friends "close friends" and set Facebook to send me email notifications for updates from them. Bypasses the newsfeed, brings it back to email, where I like it.
- sharkweek 14y agoAfter college, I gave all my Facebook "friends" the grocery store test. If I would avoid them if I saw them in a grocery store before they saw me, I deleted them as a friend. Keeps my "top" and "most recent" stories pretty equal, tbh. And if any brand is overwhelming the newsfeed, it becomes pretty easy to make the decision to unlike their page
- prof_hobart 14y agoJust curious - why did you add people you'd actively avoid in real life as friends on Facebook? I don't think I have, or have ever had, anyone in that category in my FB list.
- sharkweek 14y agoFacebook came to my college my sophomore year -- It was pretty common to meet someone in class/at a bar/library etc and be like "add me on Facebook!" So by the end of school I ended up with far too many people I didn't really want to actually keep in touch with.
