Because mostly, I don't care that much at this point. Facebook is "that thing" now.
I'm not sure but I guess this was what they encouraged? I remember going to places and meeting people, they'd pull up their phone and add you as facebook friends. And you'd accept. Not anymore though.
Also, on the UX front; "unfriend" is a pretty strong word. Just leaves a bad taste when you want to click on it :). And unfollow stuff came out so late that the train had already passed.
- sdoering 10y agoI did that regularly. Twice per year I pruned my FB lists. Nowadays I have but 25% of max. friend-count left. That for me works much better. Non the less does FB loose more and more appeal to me. Trivial BS being shoved down my throat is just not valuable to me.
- RichieAHB 10y agoI feel like unfollow / hide is perfect for this. I realise that in an ideal world us humans wouldn't click a button and we'd get the prefect endorphin-releasing content 24/7 but at the moment we have to make a bit of a conscious effort and use the tools we are afforded to make the experience better. If you enjoy Facebook and want to keep in contact with "aquaintances" just spend 20 mins unfollowing and you'll find Facebook is a much nicer place!
- agumonkey 10y agoThis era of massive commoditization of everything is detrimental. Nature put pressure on things, expressing value you cared about. I can't say Fb is useless, some people were able to reconnect, maintain long distance relations ..
- grayclhn 10y agoLet's not glorify "nature's pressure." I kind of prefer having 3 kids that I expect to live to adulthood instead of having 8 as nature intended and playing the odds.
