fb question

[luvvy]

Like I said, I'm a total hosebeast tonight so I say ask her politely to stop because you don't need to get 10,000 notifications. I have the notification approval on for this reason and the fact that my relatives like to post the most unflattering photos ever.

Could you just untag yourself when you get a notification?

[birdistheword]

GOD, I'LL STOP OK? I get the hint.

[birdistheword]

But seriously. There is a button to "stop following this post" or something like that, and you won't get the notifications.

ETA: Next the the "Like" and "Comment" buttons, there is a "Stop Notifications" button.

Just ask her to stop.

People need to be educated on how to use Facebook.

Chances are others are annoyed, too.

I think there is a way where you have to approve photos you are tagged in and/or you can always untag yourself.

Go to settings. You can add a feature that requires you to approve any tags that someone might include you in. Of course you will still get the notification that she wants to tag you, but at least it won't show up on your newsfeed.

I made it so I have to approve tags. Most of my tags aren't approved, lol.

Ha, ok - thanks guys. I'll set it to approve tags, but I'll think about a way to tell her to stop that doesn't make me feel mean. lol

Maybe say it's clogging up your newsfeed or you are getting too many notifications?

A girl on mine tags me in her Jamberry sales posts and I untag myself every time.

The FB poster will get a notification that you untag yourself, though., which is another source of hurt feelings. Signed, someone who untagged herself from some vapid pablum one time, once, out of about 10000 vapid pablum pictures my SIL posts every goddamn day and I heard about it.

Same! lol

Normally I would say just don't approve her tags, or like birdistheword said, immediately click the "stop receiving notifications" button.

But since these are the FB equivalent of annoying email forwards, I would absolutely ask her to stop. "Hey Nancy, I appreciate you thinking of me, but can you please stop tagging me in the inspirational photos you post every day? I'm getting dozens of notifications each day from them. Thanks!"

[blanca]

I think it's fine to politely ask her to stop.

Oh, they will? This actually sounds like a great alternative to telling her to stop. Maybe she will get the hint. lol. I hate confrontation.

"Hey, can you please stop tagging me?" is is not confrontation. It's a polite request.
