I completely deleted mine and started over last year. No regrets. Time to clean house again though, I don't keep a very big friend/family list on there.

I don't have a large Facebook to start with (around 100 "Friends") and I know or am related to all of them. Two of them are SO negative and are close relatives... so if I deleted them they'd find out. So I started a private Instagram account (and don't post/link it to Facebook) and am much more selective about who I follow/ let follow me. So far it's working... My facebook has people from high school and college and now people. I rarely post on my own page. I am in a ton of sewing groups and that is what I am most interested in. Photos I post on instagram, that account is private and I am much more selective of who I follow and who I let follow me! I have a separate craft instagram that I follow crafty stuff on and post craft stuff to. My personal is just that, personal! |

I have a lot of friends on facebook. I have high school friends from way back. I loved finding them on facebook. We live in a different state from where I graduated, so finding them on facebook was so much fun. None of us do much posting of political things. I'm in a lot of hobby groups. I have "unfollowed" a lot of political posters. I don't need to hear an echo chamber or a bunch of malcontents. I know where I am in the political field, and keep up with current events, so really don't need to be embroiled in that stuff day after day.

I used to have way too many friends... when I was heavily involved in digiscrapping, I would get friend requests all the time, and didn’t feel like I could say no. I finally purged it down from something like 1500 friends to ~200 or so. I did lose most of my online/Pea friends in the process (kept ones I had actually met IRL) and I miss that interaction sometimes. But it’s easier for me to keep it simple. I also have unfollowed a few people (like my Trump-loving Aunt), when it’s more prudent to remain FB friends. Wish I had done it sooner.
