If someone stops talking to me or befriending because I'm less on facebook or not visiting the site at all, then by all means please I definitely want to lose that "friend".
- icebraining 10y agoWhen people say "friends", they often don't mean just in the "Friends Will Be Friends" sense, they also mean it to include "acquaintances I'd like to keep in touch with", "cute people I'd like to get to know better", "ex-coworker who I got well along with", etc.
- dghughes 10y agoMy workplace has said unfriending someone on Facebook is considered bullying. I deactivated Facebook long before that rule for work reasons. But I do find since then I am socially isolated. I'm not a social person at all (4 years since I went out anywhere) but the one good thing Facebook did was keep me in the social world. I know I've missed a few wedding invitations, gatherings of friends, lots of things I find out about later but things I'm sure I never will know about.
- badthingfactory 10y agoIt sounds like you need to create an anti-exclusion committee for people without Facebook, since your company seems to promote that kind of thinking.
- erikpukinskis 10y agoDoesn't that just mean you have to revert to circa 2000 norms? I.e. call a random friend once a week or so, to catch the news and ensure your social stickiness?
- dghughes 10y agoMy pre and ~2000 social norm was IRC. Just not a fan of this "out" thing.
