Sometimes it feels like a single like or comment on someone’s status guaranteed every post they made would show up in your newsfeed for a month. With this tool, you can gently let Facebook know that their algorithm got it wrong, without sending your Facebook friends into purgatory.\n\nAccording to Facebook, the feature will be rolling out to mobile and desktop users today. Also debuting today on desktops and in a few weeks for mobile users is a feedback feature, so you can tell Facebook what features they inevitably screwed up.\n”}}]}
