If you recently tried to give someone a second chance, but their online actions remind you of why you blocked them in the first place, you won't be able to put them back on your block list for a while. According to Facebook's guidelines, the company doesn't allow its users to reblock a recently unblocked account until at least 48 hours have passed.

Alternative actions to blocking a user

Blocking someone on social media may seem a little extreme. They’ll know they’ve been blocked when they search for you in their friends list, leading to some awkward situations in the real world. There are other gentler ways to remove someone from your daily news feed.

Snooze (Sleep for 30 days)

If you’re certain someone is having a bad day or needs some time to vent, you can use the Snooze feature to temporarily hide them from your view. You can do this by tapping or clicking the three dots in the top right of one of the user’s posts and selecting Snooze (username) for 30 days . Once enabled, you won’t see their posts for a month, but you’ll still show up in their news feed and friends list.

Unfollow

If you want to continue to snooze someone effectively after the first 30 days, unfollowing is what you’re after. Start by clicking or tapping the three dots in the upper right of one of the user’s posts. By unfollowing someone, you’ll hide their posts from your news feed, but you’ll still be able to stay in touch. This is easily reversible if you change your mind.

Unfriend

If you absolutely hate someone's online antics, you can completely remove them from your digital life. Start the unfriending process by finding the person in question and visiting their profile page.

In the top right corner, below their cover photo, click the Friends button .

Select the Unfriend option to cut off online ties.
