Soon after it was founded in 2004, Facebook has been dominating the social media niche. With over 2.91 billion monthly active users, it is undoubtedly the most used social media platform on the planet.
Recently, the company was sued by the Federal Trade Commission and several states in the US for antitrust and building a monopoly.
But in the last few months, users have complained about bugs such as the app not displaying or loading people who reacted list and the website page jumping or scrolling to top when pressing Backspace key while commenting.
And as if this wasn’t troublesome, Facebook users are now experiencing a new issue where the platform is showing posts from unfollowed accounts and pages.
Many say the platform is ignoring everyone they had unfollowed and showing posts from everyone they are friends with. This is really frustrating for users since they are seeing posts they don’t want to.
Some tried fiddling with the settings, checking their unfollowed list, and checking their feed from both mobile and desktop but the posts still show up.
Below are some reports from Facebook users who are seeing posts from accounts or pages they had unfollowed.
Anyone else have their newsfeed suddenly show everyone they previously unfollowed?A little less than a year ago, i unfollowed almost everyone I’m friends with on fb. I keep it around so I can follow some groups, local businesses, and sell on the Facebook marketplace. Today, my news feed is back to how it was prior to the mass unfollowing I did. Maybe it’s a glitch, or maybe it’s just why I hate Facebook. Anyone else?

YES! Omg, I came looking to see if I was alone. Now my feed is full of all the people I feel like I have to stay “friends” with, but post crazy or excessive shit. My MIL literally comments on random crap every 5 minutes, alllll day long, and that is suddenly the bulk of my feed. Plus all the relatives posting toxic crap I unfollowed for a reason.
