Way to hide posts or certain users?

A lot of people post stuff I just don't care for. I don't really want to go blocking everyone because it's not that I have anything against them personally, it's just I'm not into that content and would rather free up my newsfeed for the type of content I'm interested in. It would be nice if there were a "hide user" or "hide post" option.

The newsfeed seems to just consist of who is posting at the time and I wish instead it looked at what type of posts you viewed/liked and put that on there instead.
