I spent some time yesterday cleaning up my Facebook friends list. If you are planning to do so, believe me when I say doing it from Android app is much faster than the website. You still need to do it one-by-one though.
I cleared exactly 132 names. You would think that the number consists of complete strangers and creepers but no, I actually removed most of my family members except my parents and siblings, because
a) I seem to get creepier as I get older and that is ruining my Aunty's-good-boy image
b) I find photos of cleavages of my own flesh and blood disturbing
c) I am left-wing, everyone else seems to be right-wing so it's best to avoid unhealthy arguments
d) I simply find a select few annoying (cut the crap, everybody has somebody they can't get along with; the show-off, the loudmouth, the asshole, the goody-two-shoes, the snake, the back-stab, the gossip, the smart-ass, the preacher, etc...)
Anyway there is already a Facebook group for my family members (at least my dad's side) that should be used for family-only updates. I find that to be a good compromise.
I consider this the first step towards a future when I will no longer keep a Facebook account.
For the rest still in my friends list, well, that could mean that I actually like you, need you for whatever devious means, or I still hope to have sex with you someday.
Or maybe I just care enough to tolerate your idiosyncrasies.
Hey, it's just freaking Facebook!
