When I unfollow someone on FB do they stop seeing my posts too?

Asked by Dutchess_lll (8745points) April 10th, 2018

Or do I just stop seeing theirs?

NO! But that’s the crux Trop Willie! Jesus Christ Paranoid People! Stop taking every thing I share from random posts so personally!

If they are your friend, they can see your posts. You can follow/unfollow people without being a friend. People you follow cannot see your posts.

The best way to maintain privacy is to not friend them. And restrict access to your posts to “friends only”.

No and yes.

Only if you set your posts to a custom setting where you block them from seeing your stuff (While still keeping your “Friends only” setting or whatever, you are allowed to block specific people). If they are friends with you and following you, then you need to unfriend them and set your profile to private. Otherwise, yes, they can see your stuff. Unless they aren’t friends with you are you block them from seeing your stuff.

No. However, you can change the audience of each post to custom….friends except…..............and you can list the people you do not want to see it. That will not stop him or her from seeing what you post on other people’s stuff.

It’s a crazy family member. I unfollowed her which means I can’t see her posts which are these “uplifting”, unoriginal, saccarine sweet bullshit memes OR how hard it is living anxiety, depression, whatever. I can just walk on by but I dont want her to see MY posts. She is so self centered she thinks they’re all about her.
If I unfriend her all hell will break lose on other family members.

So change your privacy settings to exclude her.

^Yep. When you post something choose “friends except…”, then enter the name of the annoying family member. Don’t make your posts public.

Found it. I was starting to think I’d have to do each post individually but I found it in my settings. That’s a relief! I got really tired of stressing over what she’ll think of this or that or the other thing/

This is SO relieving, you have no idea. Someone posted one of those stupid memes that says,“Share if you have a beautiful daughter.”
I shared it but said, “Nope nope nope. All my daughters are UGLY! So is my son! And so are all of my grandchildren! Ugliest kids you ever saw.”
All hell would have broken loose if she’d seen that.
