unfollow
Quit someone's feed
To unfollow is to stop receiving updates from someone on social media—the reverse of following them.
The action is usually invisible to the other person, unlike blocking or unfriending: I unfollowed her after the third rant about politics.
Unfollowing lets you curate your feed without confrontation.
