Social Media Pals

Most of my friends are from school or work.

People can't tell if you delete them or not.

The only social media I use is this forum, 3 Dudes With Attitudes and SnapChat.

I have around 300 friends on Facebook. I know basically all of them from either school, work, or from friends. I don’t know how people can have 1000’s of friends, I don’t even know that many people by name.

The only social media I actively use apart from this is Instagram.
I have around 200ish followers, most of which are colleagues/schoolmates with about 30 that I would actually consider to be friends. 

I do this as well. I unfollow people who annoy me. I have a coworker who constantly posts stuff about race. Stuff that just seems so far out there that I'd rather unfollow than see that nonsense. And if I unfollowed you there is also a very high chance I put you on a restricted list so that you can't see my posts/pics.

Of all the social media platforms out there, I only use Facebook and Twitter. On Facebook, I only add people that I know/used to know in real life, that I actually like. So people from family/school/work/college/university. I'll only keep them friended as long as I like them though. If someone turns out to be a bad person, I'll just unfriend them. If someone regularly posts/shares stuff that I don't care for or stuff that I disagree with, then I'll either unfollow or unfriend them. I would never add someone who I don't know, and it's always bewildered me that plenty of people do. I just don't get it. But to be honest, I rarely use Facebook anymore. I'll maybe go on for a minute or two a week.

As for Twitter, I only really use it to follow things that I'm a fan of. I rarely tweet, and all of my followers are just accounts who started following me randomly and don't appear to engage with any of my tweets.

I mainly use Instagram. But other than a daily check of my account I don’t do much social media. I use Snapchat here and there because some of my friends use it mainly.

I got off Facebook and Instagram a year ago.I’m on Twitter now mostly for football news. I follow a bunch of players and news outlets that’s about it. Don’t have many friends/followers on there

I use Twitter almost exclusively for my Twitch stream...I'm pretty sure I only know like, three people on there in real life.

Facebook, I have about 300 friends on there. Factor out that about 50 of them are cousins and another 30 are aunts/uncles/extended family, I actually have about 220. I know probably under half of them in real life. I've come to know a LOT of WFers over my decade here, and have many of them on there. I talk to Ace Bennett , Cameron Stone , and BSR almost daily and I have a lot of other mods/members on there because A) I try to be friends with the staff on here to make everything go smoothly and B ) they know that if they need me for something WF related they can find me on FB instantly if something's up. Then again, I've never made my real name a secret on here, and while I've had to block a few idiots, generally speaking if I know someone's from WF and we have no major issues I have no issues adding them on FB. I post a crap ton of memes, cats, gaming, WWE ish, political ramblings and weeaboo crap on there so if you can tolerate that we can be friends.

I have a few people I went to school with on there. Not too many, I was a very socially inept person growing up. The few people who stuck around me when we went to high school though have remained my friends to this day, and I have a handful of college friends on there too, @majoraggro and Thunder being two of 'em.

The rest are just people I've met either in passing, or ON Facebook or Twitch. That being said, I've made good friends with them. We chat daily about common interests, and I know if like...gaming news drops I can hit up Connor, if anime news comes up I can hit up Jorge or Esteban, cute cat pictures I find can go to Johanna...stuff like that. I stayed with a previously only FB friend last fall for a few days when I flew into Florida to help him and his mom with hurricane cleanup in their area, that was my first time meeting him, for example. But I also try to make myself available to them to talk if they need it. I have a couple of people I rant to if I need something off of my chest, but if someone needs to complain about something I wanna be there for them if I can. Friends are friends, doesn't matter to me if you see them every day at work or if they live a thousand miles away. With social media today, I can hit up my friend from Calgary who works at a movie theater and my friend from London who works at freaking 10 Downing Street and group them together with me to play a few games of Overwatch or something...and as a result they become friends too. And I get that you want to keep some amount of privacy for the sake of security, so like...no one knows the answers to like...security questions or my password recovery emails or what bank I use for deposits and Paypal and stuff like that. And I keep my FB and Twitter set to private so until someone friends me they can't see anything on my page other than my profile photo and cover photo (so if you want to go out of your way to harass me you've gotta deal with weeb pictures first xD ). But like, once I get to know someone and talk to them enough, we're friends, even if it's only because of one common interest. Like BSR , I only know him from online and I completely disagree with him on just about everything important, but we're friends who shoot the breeze on WWE and college sports so I know not to talk politics with him but WWE and sports are a-ok. And that's cool to me.
