Facebook Deletion

holyhead

I noticed one of my friends wasn’t coming up under my fb feed. So I checked and he had deleted me. What I found ironic was I messaged him subsequently. He said he was cutting down his fb friends list. When I suggested he be circumspect going forward as to who he added he took it personally yet expected those he chopped not to do likewise!

Of course he is entitled to add and delete as he sees fit but my advice was well meant and his testy reply proved my point that people have feelings. He just didn’t seem capable of understanding that he could hurt people’s feelings by what he did. Hopefully he does now! I have no wish to reconnect with him and was merely checking was he ok when I messaged him.

I've deleted a handful of former friends on Facebook. But they know why. Usually because I simply realised they were assholes. And I've told them they were assholes and given them the opportunity to explain themselves, the few who kept digging were axed.

Also, Mel Gibson is a prick and I declined his friend request on FB.

Yeh that guy sucks. But for many reasons.

Your social media output is obviously going to reflect things that are important to you.

Same for others.

There's lots of people I really like in real life that I don't necessarily want to see all their interests.

And they mine, obviously.

That's why things like Facebook allow you to filter your news feed or unfollow people without offending them.

I'd only really delete somebody if I didn't want them seeing my stuff or over something personal.

Somebody I know (friend of a friend) who is a bit 'alternative' friended me and then unfriended me because (apparently) I posted mundane stuff.

Whereas, you know, I'm still coping with the devastating loss of their frequent chronicles of protests, drum clinics and inner healing.

I would never delete somebody off facebook because I know it can really upset people. I don't follow a few people who post to often.

I have unfollowed every single person in my FB list of friends so now I only see news from pages that interest me and not some random crap people put up. I wouldn’t care if everyone Unfriended me in the slightest in fact I wish people would just use FB to follow things of interest instead of friends that they couldn’t care less about if they were being honest.

I think it would be great if you got a message every time you were unfriended. Sometimes you might be unfriended and not realise. I want to know when someone is pissed off with me or thinks I'm a dick and likewise I want others to know that I think they're not worth my time. I am petty like that.

Facebook is basically a person’s market stall or shop window to the world. They generally only tend to post up pics of their happy, smiley families, their new house, big car, latest holiday, parties or lots of vanity-tinged selfies.

Given my life circumstances, I don’t dwell on others’ FB posts too much because it can be a tad depressing. And I really hate those “positive affirmation” messages people post up all the time. They seem so trite and insincere.

But as I opined, it’s a shop front, despite the happy pics, the person could be in turmoil inside so things are often not what they seem.

Much better to have real life friends than FB friends. Actually, I’ve noticed that quite a few of my real friends don’t really post much on FB any more. I also think anyone who has more than, say, 200 FB friends, is a tad shallow and insecure.

That seems like you have just plucked a completely arbitrary figure and ascribed some psychological significance to it.

Facebook friendships are a lot "shallower" than real life friendships. I'm Facebook friends with people I just met for a weekend at a stag, with some of my wife's work colleagues from meeting them at functions etc. People I would meet for a pint, granted, but I wouldn't exactly confide in.

What puzzles me is how people are Facebook friends with people they don't like. Saw some utter scumbag like a friend's status update recently, messaged them, they were all "oh I don't like him, he's just a Facebook friend". I kinda think that, no matter how slight the contact, there has to be some element of appeal in the relationship. Also do not understand the people who accept Facebook friend requests from strangers.

There's a great (web) browser extension called FB Purity that allows you to customize your FB page, removing ads or any other sections you don't like, even altering the screen layout.

One of its features you can enable is to be notified if somebody unfriends you or closes their account.

I use an add-on for that. It's mighty. One of my fb friends kept deleting/adding me every few days, turns out he was deactivating/reactivating his account for personal reasons. Good job my life doesn't revolve around FB or I might have messaged him asking why :P. I only got the add-on for removing adverts but it does lots. EDIT...just realised poster above me got there before me.

I never understood people's need to tell us they deleted their Facebook account. Like it's some big f*cking thing.

I don't find it depressing at all. I would expect people to mostly share their happy events and things like that considering its a public platform. What more do people expect? I would always be aware that they are only sharing a part of themselves and are not obliged to share any more.

It should be remembered that Facebook purposefully manipulated people's moods before.

Facebook’s second most powerful executive, Sheryl Sandberg, has apologised for the conduct of secret psychological tests on nearly 700,000 users in 2012, which prompted outrage from users and experts alike.

The experiment, revealed by a scientific paper published in the March issue of Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, hid "a small percentage" of emotional words from peoples' news feeds, without their knowledge, to test what effect that had on the statuses or "likes" that they then posted or reacted to.
