ecological catastrophes... They appear automatically and cause anxiety.

Is there a way I can block this topic before it appears?
I know there probably isn't any ill just have to get used to it :-(

I don't know why these posts got more frequent recently and they appear on sites that should be absolutely safe and not triggering.
you can block the person that keeps posting these upsetting things which will make it so that you no longer see their posts.

you can report the post to facebook using their feedback option then they will look at the post and decide if it goes against facebook rules of spam.

other than that no you cant block something without first seeing it...

think of it like psych central's ignore. you have to see a post and decide whether its something triggering to you and then if so put the poster on your ignore list.

on facebook we dont get to choose what things we get to see ......before .... we see them.

but you can set your news feed preferences based on people you do what to see first before all the crap. it doesnt stop your friends from posting pics you dont like, jst makes it so that others not on your friends list posts are not first on your timeline/ news feed.

when I find a post that is offensive and may not be right like pics of animals being harmed I report them. and if the person posting them is not one of my friends I block them. if its a friend I "unfollow" this makes it so that I dont see their posts ................unless.............I choose to visit their page
Thanks for this!
