Manifesto about removing every single Facebook friends
Forming / / December 19, 2019
When we talk about optimizing your time spent on the web, we begin to look for some task manager for the browser plug-ins and other tools designed to improve the quality of our work. But all this is not something that should start. A man working in the internet can spend half an hour to several hours a day on Facebook or other social networks. He enters there in insignificant discussion slides for doubtful usefulness of content and simply spends his time and it is a very big part of my life.
For myself, I took a fairly radical solution cut it out every single one of your friends and enjoy Facebook without them. And the secret is that you really have nothing to lose really! The network becomes the way it was supposed to be actually from the beginning. Listed below are for you the main advantages of this solution ↓
- You stop showering you irrelevant information. "Your friend has commented here," or "Your friend layknul that another friend layknul" - is the most hated me to Facebook. What do I care that where someone says, if it's not a post of my true friend and not my personal post. Someone protested Russian march someone on the wall, and I dumped it in the news feed? No, I do not need this. Without friends (on Facebook terminology) this never happens.
- You will no longer be added to the group. Someone thinks he's a tough coach and begins to add all your friends to the group name of his talent. Or someone else troubled flood somewhere in Russia and organized a discussion club. No, I am not against these groups completely. Moreover, I have a few of them. But here's some idiot in Facebook HQ came up with that you can add friends enough that without permission from you, and even so, that you can not know for weeks that a long time a member of a particular group?
- You will not invite the new uninteresting page. There simply. No friends - no additions. Since you can only add friends. And you do not. Conveniently!
- You will not invite the new super-duper sexy the viral game. Well, as you are invited, if you are simply not in the list "Invite friends"?
- Events that have spam, will cease to exist. Look, let's be honest! If the event is worthwhile, you'll be on it. If this is some kind of treshachok in coworking, a restaurant or even some institution of your city, then you do not belong there. You will learn more from books, blogs, personal communication with real people, which is much better to spend the evening than in the company of strangers uninteresting.
- Vac no longer upset by participating in stupid «SMM-activation". And you will not upset anyone. I'm talking about the awkward moment, when to get the prize, or just participate in the contest, Facebook users must be something layknut and it's something falls out to all your friends on the wall.
- You can not evaluate your "entourage" and you can not use. I do not like when I was evaluated and when making assumptions about my abilities for the people who were in my friends. And I hate that half is added to the friends did it just because I'm with someone familiar, and they just needed a way to get to this or that person.
- An Inconvenient Truth. We have to work, relax, hang out in a group of friends and acquaintances. All these people are after a simple handshake is added as a friend. They can become established on a par with a school friend and his wife. And I do not like it. I sincerely admire our partners and simply can not refuse them a virtual friendship. I'm really pleased to do it! I just, frankly, do not want to think of every time on this topic. "What if I refuse to friendship?" "And she does not think I'm arrogant jerk?" I'm sick of it and I just stopped it.
- You no one will ever be able to add as a friend. If you remove all the friends, and then configured to include "Allow friend requests from friends of friends only," then the logical work "Magic" and no one will be able to send you a request. It's really fun :)
- You will not pull in the new super-duper appIn which sucked your Facebook-Friend and just need pytsat on the button and invite someone horrible. You uzaete on steep APME not when your druzhbachok bite on a beautiful icon of the "toilet surf "on the App Store, as well as a thoughtful commentator Lafyhakera or other blog and look at ann porekomenuet you. Love your attention, not sprayed!
- You are now, finally, you can disable comments on their posts. Oh, yes, you can allow commenting to friends only... which you do not have.
- You are no longer influenced by what your friends likeYou choose your own content.
- Facebook advertising power ceases to be power for the people like us. Oh, your friends love Jameson whiskey? Enjoy flying Air Berlin? Like hipster tusy coworking? I am very glad for them;) I'm happy for you that you know and that Facebook knows this and knows that you know. About me, he knows now a little less, and that's fine. Advertising has become irrelevant, it does not distract me and I can ignore it. And each time someone clicks on it brings a lot of pain brands, as I became more expensive. I mutually nice to meet you, dear money Man About Town. look better than what we've got an audience fantastically cool and clever! Tie burn money, it infuriates your target audience.
Is not Facebook "best friends"?
Not! He is with them worse, as you on the Internet does not have to be friends, then you need to read the right content. And here's how to do it in Facebook:
- Rejoice function Follow! You choose the person and just start reading it with no strings attached. He will post news and fotochki - you see them because Fallaway it. You post something, he - not detect anything as long as you do not zafolovit. We are all different and there are only 10 people in this world, that I accept mutual friendship. The remaining 100.500 people I am very interested, but I do not want to know about them all. By the way, enable you to have the ability FallawayBecause this feature is disabled by default.
- Follow only the desired pages. A revision of that litter you Newsline. Believe me, all the SMM-active healthy litter you sign-up sheet. And because of the new Edge Rank on Facebook you are not required falls, but beer and retail brands anyway punched and amuse you by the hands of young talents, the SMM.
- Turn off the alarm groups. In group settings set to notify only the setting of the postings friends. You do not, do you remember?
- Check Inbox / Other. Yes, most of the messages from Facebook will now fall into the Other. Just look down once a week and you do not miss anything. Help dostuchats to you like this.
- Enjoy! News from those on kogogo you subscribe, comment, if you want to do this, several important pages without cutting content. And add here the absence of any "recommendations", no involvement in the positions that you just like, no mention on fotochki and posts. Harmony…
You get a real, but only for full-text Twitter visual loving fotochki and video.
Begin to see just what was asked themselves. You read only what they themselves have signed on!
Training
Before the adoption of the Facebook consumption paradigm, if you're interested, you need to prepare a little bit.
- Write news about what is "hot" and warned that you can now be read by means of subscribing Follow button.
- Activate the opportunity Fallaway you.
- Make settings about which I wrote above.
- rework Cover and describe what you do not accept requests to friends that you can Fallaway and where you'd better write.
- Remove all friends.
- Start living!
Interestingly, while the king Leonid'd trade my 300 friends 3000 friends-network addicts in facebook?
