Is there a setting that I can use so that I don't see when friends comment on other people's stuff (who I am not friends with). Can I tailor it to JUST taht one friend or will it impact all?

TL: DNR version
A friend of a friend keeps posting the most dreadful islamophobic shite under the guise of being concerned about christians and jews. She comments on it and I see it.
I really don't have the time, energy or smarts to go the source and challenge this person.
I should probably just unfriend her (her religous views also make her more than a little homophobic) but still have to see her and hubby and child in real social situations. 
So, for now, ignoring it is my preferred option.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

You can 'unfollow' someone, which means you'll still appear on their Friends list (and vice versa) but you won't see anything they post. There used to be an option where you wouldn't see posts by non-friends that friends have commented on, but FB got rid of it.

(I intensely dislike the fact that conversations between my FB friends and people I don't know appear in my newsfeed. It feels intrusive.)

Thanks. Me too. It's a bit like; there's a party going on over there - and you aren't invited...

I'm not on facebook so cant help but have wanted to say this somewhere that would get your attention. My mate saw a photo of you at one of his friends house and remembered you from Jaws 3. Small world eh?

Apparently his brother in law is mates with your brother.

Anyway back on topic. Islam good/bad, discuss.

Hmm, just pretend I wrote something witty eh?

I really hate this for the opposite reason. I am quite careful about what I share with who and have a whole load of overlapping custom lists to facilitate this. In addition, as in real life, I speak quite differently to some friends than I do to to others (I don't often call my aunties a bunch of daft cunts in the same way as I would the guys I was on a stag do with last month for example) so it really gets my goat that this can be so easily sabotaged by FB's own promotional algorithms.

Oh yeah, that would be Big Al, head of the Monkey-Tron Collective. He mentioned that. It was JAWS: The Revenge.  I think I once started a thread about Boarders and Six Degrees of Separation but it quickly turned into "I went for a piss next to celebrity Y" thread.
