Delia Cai and Steffi Cao discuss social media etiquette in their advice column, addressing common digital dilemmas like unsubscribing from a friend's newsletter without hurting feelings. They suggest that while unsubscribing may lead to potential discomfort, explaining one’s feelings can mitigate any fallout. They also recommend setting up inbox filters to handle unwanted newsletters discreetly, allowing users to manage their subscriptions without causing distress to their friends. Overall, they emphasize the importance of tactfulness in digital interactions.
It's possible that your friend will see you unsubscribe depending on what platform they use and what settings they have on.
I would probably just create a filter on my inbox that sends these newsletter emails automatically to a folder.
You can always say you're behind on emails if this person asks you about whether you've read their latest missive.
Delia's automatic filter solution is a tried-and-true method, and is a kind solution that applies to many of the email conundrums that we face.
