If you don&#8217;t mention anyone, no one will be able to comment on your post. If you mention people in your post, you can&#8217;t stop them from commenting unless you take down the post or edit the mentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s worth remembering that removing mentions after people have commented on your post ain&#8217;t going to delete their comments. You need to delete them individually to remove all of them from the post.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-can-i-hide-my-post-from-a-user\">How can I hide my post from a user?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>You can work around with some clever tricks since turning off comments from a non-group post is currently not available on Facebook.
