I think it&#8217;s all about building a theme park with lots of rollercoasters, but I don&#8217;t really care because I am completely uninterested in the game. Except I can&#8217;t seem to get rid of all the invitations and status updates from him on my newsfeed. Short of unfriending my own brother, what&#8217;s my choice?<\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave&#8217;s Answer: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I know exactly what you&#8217;re talking about because my nephew has been sucked into the same darn game, and his updates are also taking over my newsfeed when he plays. The problem isn&#8217;t with Coasterville, however, but with the fact that it doesn&#8217;t categorize itself as a game, so that the updates aren&#8217;t filtered out if, like me, you block all game updates. There is another solution, fortunately, but it&#8217;s a bit tricky.<\/p>\n<p>As there are more and more different apps and games on Facebook, I think this bad categorization is actually a really big problem. In fact, given that Facebook just announced a redesign of the newsfeed, it might be that I&#8217;m not the only person who finds this annoying and frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>To show you how to fix this problem, let&#8217;s jump into my own Facebook newsfeed, the &#8220;Family&#8221; section. As you can see in this first pic, Corey is not only really into CoasterVille, but, well, it kind of takes over my feed too:<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"
