How often, if ever, do you trim your FB fiend list?

Posted by TWuG Dec 16 '10, 08:59

I just cut 19 people who I can't recall having any contact with in the last year. I don't see their stuff in my feed, I don't trade emails with them, I don't interact with them at sites other than Facebook. So, boom, went the axe.

Responses:

Never. I may hide their 'news', though. -- nm - Eight Vermin a-Verming Dec 16, 09:19
I've done it once, about a month ago. A few people were like "you unfriended me? was it something I said?" - Bad Elf JaxSean Dec 16, 09:13 6
- I had to defriend someone who wouldn't stop saying racist things. I'm sure he doesn't mind. -- nm - Diva Dec 16, 09:17 5
  - did he say "But you're not like the rest of them"? -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 09:18
  - Diva, I am really sorry...I promise it won't happen again -- nm - Mel Dec 16, 09:18 2
    - This is Mel G, not Mel P -- nm - Mel Dec 16, 09:18 1
      - *buries diva in a friggin rose garden* -- nm - Mel Dec 16, 09:19
  - *runs and checks my friend list* nm -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 09:17
I do it a lot -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 16, 09:10
I don't, really. I mean, I've defriended people before, but only if they're pretty damn annoying. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 16, 09:05 4
- It's an odd thing. I don't dislike the people I cut, but there's nothing to the relationship beyond being on a list - TWuG Dec 16, 09:09 1
  - yeah, there's a lot of people on there I probably don't communicate with frequently, but there might come a time I need to touch base. - Kim Pine Dec 16, 09:17

  - I prefer to keep everyone possible, you never know when they may come in handy. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 09:08
only if a life altering event happens. - groiny Dec 16, 09:03

- correct. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 09:03
- Correct. You won't get notice you were cut, they just won't be on your list anymore. -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 09:03 3
  - you see your total friend count smaller. - groiny Dec 16, 09:04 2
    - Yep. I figure if I can't recall who's missing, well... -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 09:05 1
      - if you get to a few hundred, it is pretty difficult to figure out. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 09:05
more like, "how often do you log in to your FB account?" -- nm - zork Dec 16, 09:01
twice a year? I have this weird thing about wanting no more than 400 friends. -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 16, 09:00 3
- A good friend of mine keeps it to 100. It's caused drama. -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 16, 09:12
- 300 is my limit, and only 20% can be political friends. I'm overdue for a purging. -- nm - amanda jones Dec 16, 09:05 1
  - You were the first person to Facebook friend me and it pleases me that I continue to make the cut. - TWuG Dec 16, 09:10
My FB fiend list is pretty short. -- nm - Diva Dec 16, 09:00 1
- *insert Mel joke here* -- nm - TWuG Dec 16, 09:02
