Is It Bad To Delete People Off Facebook?

A couple of things.

Firstly, I thought that if you deleted people they didn't know about it anyway.

And secondly, there is such an issue now over the lack of privacy and what appears to be facebook's open flouting of any privacy laws, most of my friends are deleted their profiles en mass. As I am probably going to do once I get a few personal email addresses from friends overseas.
 
If you feel bad about them knowing that you have deleted them, you can always hide their new feed so you don't really have to see what they are posting.

That way you dont have to have much interaction with them, and you don't have to worry how they will feel about being deleted.
 
I always delete people off all the time especially when my friend list count is getting to high. Or i always delete people who do nothing but fan stupid pages.

I just got done deleting a shitload of people from high school that i used to be friends with and we don't even speak anymore not even a simple hi or whats up.


I even have people delete me and even block me for what i don't know but its their choice life still goes on.
 
The other day I did some spring cleaning on my facebook friends list. I deleted a bunch of people I don't talk to anymore or I don't know.
 
I've deleted people - I don't think it'll make a difference to the other person - they won't even know you've done it unless they go to look you up specifically on their friend list and find you're not there.

If they check it out, and ask you why, it opens up a dialogue for discussion and re-connection if you want it.
 
>>>She sent me a message saying we went to the same elementary school years ago.

Maybe you did...but at different times? :)

>>>I have to be honest. I've been on both sides of this situation. It's fucking awkward.

It's never been awkward for me. One of my very best friends deleted me a few months ago. I only noticed because I wanted to send her a quick note with some info, and thought it might be a good way to do it...and found she wasn't on my list anymore. No worries - I just sent it via text. She responded like nothing had happened, and to me, nothing had. :)

She did later explain why she had deleted me (she had deleted everybody), but she didn't have to do that. It's fucking Facebook, for God's sake. I refuse to take that stuff seriously.

I don't understand why people even accept friend requests from people they don't know...or people they don't want to know anymore. I just hit the ignore button. I'm not into the numbers game that it seems a lot of Fb'ers seem to play.

My niece's friend, that I don't know, kept requesting to be my friend...I must have hit ignore 5x..she was persistent. I don't want 12 year old girls being my friend (unless they're family.) Finally I just stopped hitting the ignore button and left her request there...and there she still sits...in limbo. :lol:

anyway...I say delete away...and ignore away too.

Sounds like she may have a little crush on you. :lol:

I know quite a few friends who have deleted all of their information and deleted their accounts. Those who actually know me, know how to contact me now so it would be no great loss to walk away from FB.

They've seemed to have fix the problems. You can now hide your pages, likes and anything on your info page from anyone you want just lots of people don't know about it so their information is still open to everyone. I just found out yesterday. You could also block anyone including friends from seeing your friends list. The problem with facebook is that they keep changing everything without warning which leaves all this information available to everyone for a short period of time everytime they make a major change. To be safe, just don't share too much information on your page and go through the private settings.
 
Oh Wow. They rolled back the privacy settings!

Jesus this would have been useful months ago. My Ex was adding literally everyone i spoke to, i would have loved to block him from seeing my friends list just to teach him a lesson.

Nope, they haven't.
Although you have privacy control settings for Education, Work, Activities, Interests, Music, Movies, Books, and Television, you can not hide any pages which you have 'Liked'. What this means is that if you 'Like' the page called 'Men I would love to Fuck', then everyone who visits your profile (friends, non-friends, employers, etc.) can also see what YOU like.

The only thing which they have corrected since the recent update is that they have now allowed users to hide their Favorite Quotations. Prior to that, users would have to place their favorite quotations in their Bio section as that was the only section of their profile which had privacy settings AND which didn't get linked to public pages as a result of the recent update.

Your profile picture and pictures in general are now considered public information. Also, unless you opt out of the Instant Personalization Pilot Program, your private information will also be shared with Microsoft Docs.com, Pandora, and Yelp.


Best advice is as you stated, Don't post what you don't want to share.

I was able to successfully hide my "Other" likes pages. Go to privacy settings, "Friends, Tags, Connections", and under "Things I like" click "Only friends. Then go to "Preview my profile" and you'll see that it's not there. The pictures are not viewable either. I have nothing showing to people who aren't my friends except my profile picture, my name, and the "Add as friend" button.

I don't know about the yelp, pandora, and other stuff but I've never put any contact information on there.
 
When did they rollback the privacy settings? I haven't seen a single article about it on gnews so far.
 
For me, the consideration is when I add people. I don't add people who I never know, people who I dislike, people who are douchebags, and anonymous groups to which I don't have any interests or affiliations. I only deleted some guys later because I clicked on the wrong button.

People say adding many friends on Facebook will expand your scope of life. I say that is bottomline bullshit.

It could If you actually send them a pm and talk to them even if they initiate the friend request.

I agree I've done that with most of the people from last job. I don't dislike them, it's just that after we stopped working together we really didn't have anything in common.

I go to my friends list and check up on them once in a while.
 
Among my facebook "friends" there are some I've added / have added me apparently by mistake, for the sake of computer games etc. I wouldn't mind not having them there, but they do me no harm, and they are part of history of my facebook account. Anyway, they may feel rejected or something like that.
What's the use of purging your friends' list, I don't know.
 
Everytime I think about deleting my account or deleting people from my list I get another friend request and I can't help be curious and stick around to see why they were wanting to add me. I think i'm just really nosey.
 
I don't delete people anymore as long as they don't have their profile picture of Obama as the Joker. But mostly, add people who you know already. But then you never know until you have the chance to talk to them, right?
