I've deleted down to that one friend who I can't contact any other way (literally no phone), and my wife. I am much less tempted to scroll (waste time) now that I have 1,386 less friends.
You would think the algorithms would maybe try to keep me on the platform at this point but no, I now see almost exclusively ads on the rare occasion I do look through (I still look at the marketplace).
- reaperducer 5y agonow that I have 1,386 less friends You never had 1,386 friends. You had 1,386 friends, acquaintances, colleagues, contacts, associates, and people who you know. Facebook has bastardized the word "friend" to make people believe they need to collect other people.

I rather enjoy considering people who are not actively hostile to be friends. It invites all manner of goodness and interest into my life.
