Is this something that people really want to do though... I did that for a bit back when fb was still new but quickly and I mean quickly fell off the habit and stopped using fb.
- xwdv 4y agoYes, otherwise it’s basically back to the dark age where I have no idea what other people are doing because I have no close friends.

- xwdv 4y agoThere is little to no way to deliberately make friends after age 30. Friends become a much lower priority in adult life. You can meet some people, but they are unlikely to ever ascend to the level of a close friend.
- psyc 4y agoJust as myself and most of my friends and acquaintances all started using FB because we’d all started using it, we also all stopped using it because we’d all stopped using it.
- prawn 4y agoIn theory, yes. But maybe the average circle of friends and acquaintances isn't sticky enough without more encouragement, karma, whatever? I don't mind if a platform feels quiet because it takes less time to keep up with, but the platform itself would see a downturn as a serious failing.
