"It's unclear to me what the "Hide" function actually does.It might well be a primitive version of what Dave is talking about. But it's a pretty blunt instrument, isn't it? You can hide "posts like this" But what does that mean? With advertising, you get some choices to tell them why you don't like about the advertisement, but with posts from friends what is it about the post you don't like? No way that I've found to signal that. You can hide posts from specific individuals and you can hide links to specific websites, but as far as I know, you don't get the functionality that Dave is asking for." - Michael Markman
