It's amazing what happens when you entirely delete your FB account and 4 years later only add people who are ACTUALLY your friends.

I'm having a lovely conversation about anarchism and stateless communism tonight... on FACEBOOK.

@SuzanEraslan Don't lie. That's impossible...isn't it? Maybe I should do a massive Facebook culling to see if I can replicate your results.

@ink_slinger I had >5k "friends" when I left the first time and I couldn't cull-- in 2012, there were was no batch delete and it took hours just to drop the most egregious. Now I have 368 and I like all of them.

@SuzanEraslan I tried that method once but it didn't work out as well as it has for you. I just ended up deleting the whole thing twice. That is one thing I don't miss.

@spridlewv Did you wait 4 years? I think the trick is to wait an entire American presidential election cycle.

@SuzanEraslan Oh, I probably didn't wait quite that long. I'm glad its working for you though!

@spridlewv Me, too. Also, I'm BRUTAL about deleting people, now. I don't feel like I owe anyone my friendship just because we've known each other.

@SuzanEraslan Thats awesome. And definitely the healthy way to do it. I probably wasn't willing to be br
