Script to remove toxic users from your main feed


Recommended Posts

The forum has an option to ignore users but unfortunately it doesn't remove them from the grid. It just blanks their content creating a weird state where you still see the user but you can't see what they are posting.

 I created a small script that you can add to your browser with the TamperMonkey extension. This extension is very famous among IT fellows in order to remove users from their feeds. It is widely used on Facebook. Attention seekers are completely ignored after installing it.

Chrome extension:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en

Opera extension:

https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/tampermonkey-beta/

After the installation within the settings page you can install the script that will do the job. 

The script is at https://github.com/oneangrytrader/TamperMonkeyScripts/blob/master/IgRemoveToxicUser.js

Save the content of that script to a local file and add it to the extension. Within the script there is a variable called users that you can edit to add the user you would like to remove.

The result is below with a couple of pictures:
