Question: How would I know if somebody dropped me as a friend? I'm hoping I'm not one your purgees, but how would I know? Would you just mysteriously disappear from my Friends feed, and I would wonder about you? Would LJ tell me anything? Would I compare my "Friends" to my "Friends Of"? Now I'm wondering whether people who seemed to drop off LJ just dropped me. Either way is fine, unless I learned that they dropped me just for using postal abbreviations in a sentence.....
I get a message notice when someone removes me, so I assume they get one, too. Tonight I went into manage friends in the settings and there is a whole list of everybody I've ever been friends with. Abandoned journals that still have me on their list. I have five pages and have to save each page for it to take. But as I went through it, especially if I didn't recognize the name, meant that we hadn't had any interaction.
A lot of time, I friend people who post in add me or in a friendzy where they said they'd been away, but were back again - then don't post.
There is a lot of six degrees of separation going on, too, where I see people commenting on posts that used to be on my fl.
I wish that a lot of the old LJ people would come back. I'm friends with some of them on Facebook and I miss them like crazy. FB isn't the place to do discussions and connect properly. Their RL friends are there and it's so hard to cut through that and talk about the "real" stuff.
FB is about the makeup you wear to conceal your flaws. LJ is about what's under your makeup.

When I write on Facebook, I ask myself, "Is that how I want to be seen?"
