what happens on "Hide" of Everyone's News Feed ?

[erich37]

so when you go to "Members /Everyone's News Feed", there you see the buttons named "Hide" for each NewsFeed-item.

I do not understand of what is the benefit of hiding a specific NewsFeed-item.

What am I "hiding" when clicking onto the "Hide"-button ???
- am I hiding that specific post ?
- am I hiding the user at all ?
- am I hiding the Thread ?

It doesn't hide the thread by the looks of it.

EDIT

Nor the user so I imagine it must just be that post.

Just by testing it a bit, it looks like it only hides that particular item in the feed— it doesn't hide other stuff in the same thread or by the same author.

yeap. i was expecting it to hide all the posts from that particular thread as well
