Facebook Graph API: GET /feed without privacy "SELF"

how do I have to structure API request (preferably in the JavaScript API version of Graph) to GET everything in the /feed which does not have privacy value set to "SELF"?

so far I've only managed to fetch /feed objects with privacy objects in them, to be able to process them on the client - which I do not want to do since the API limits are quickly and unnecessarily consumed.

Thanks a lot!

There is no way to achieve that kind of filtering; you will have to do it on your end.

Facebook's argument for not providing more filtering and sorting capabilities is that it is just detrimental to performance - lessons learned from FQL times. (Source: Facebook engineers in a Q&A session.)

So you have no other choice than to consider your app the cloud computing service that this gets outsourced to in this instance ;-)
