New to social fixer. I haven't experienced most of its features. The main reason I tried it is to not longer have to select new or all comments in group posts. At first I thought it was not working. Then I realized I had to select the comment explorer each time. So what's the point if I have to do that on each posts. I wished it would expend the comments as soon as I click on the post.

YOU CAN FILTER OUT POSTS THAT INCLUDE WORDS LIKE "TRUMP", "DEMOCRAT", "LIBERAL", "REPUBLICAN"! You can follow your family members again! :p
