Like any topic, people are free to participate or ignore it. For anyone wanting to not see a particular topic in their active feed, you need to open that topic at least once, but you can Mute that topic from that point forward, to not see it.
you can also mute an entire thread (topic).
- Scroll down to the bottom of the thread.
