But before you go thinking that sounds way harsh, hear it out.
The new 'snooze' option allows you to mute friends, pages, and groups for up to 30 days without alerting anybody. If you want to ignore that ex, or someone is really bothering you lately, it's perfect to take that kind of break from them. Or if all your friends are on a fun trip together and you couldn't go? Who needs FOMO when you can just block it from your notifications and feed altogether?!
Facebook have written on their blog:
“Seeing too many photos of your uncle’s new cat? Is your friend tempting you with endless photos of ramen on her Japan trip? It turns out, you’re not alone.
"We’ve heard from people that they want more options to determine what they see in News Feed and when they see it.”
You can also turn it off at any time.
On the other hand, you're also able to pick your BFFs so they get top priority on your news feed.
