couple hundred people I would otherwise have no contact with
Not being snarky, this is a genuine question - If you can't make the effort to email these people every other month or so, then do you really care that much about them? I can understand the difficulties in visiting in person, or even phone calls - many people don't like phone calls these days, but email/SMS? This sounds more like you have a passing curiosity about these people than genuinely caring about them
- josteink 8y agoI was about to comment on that particular remark too. Lately I’ve unfollowed/unfriended everyone I dont feel I have a relationship to. People of my class 1996 or whatever? Gone. That’s not my social circle anymore. Etc. You get the picture. But still FB insisted on showing all kinds of uninteresting garbage instead of posts from people I know. So now I’m no longer checking Facebook. And they did it to themselves.
- standardUser 8y agoI've gotten back in touch with various people over the years. I can't predict which of the couple hundred people I will have a reason to reach out to in the future. But I know I'll inevitably be happy to be connected to this or that person on Facebook when I pick up a similar hobby or visit a certain place or go looking for some new type of job, etc. And no, obviously not ever person I know is worth emailing or calling on the phone on some regular basis. That doesn't mean I don't want to know them.
