Friends List Cull
I've just done a bit of a Friends List Cull, and wanted to give a little explanation in case you are someone who has activated the option to be notified if someone de-friends you.
1. I still don't like that the Friends List is a "Friends" list, and being removed from it means you are being "De-friended". Anyway, it's not that I now hate you, it's the points below.
*edited to remove incorrect reference to DW*
2. Fandoms come and fandoms go, people change, interests go their separate ways, and it simply may be that I'm not interested in what you're posting about any more, and given our lack of interaction, I'd guess you're not too interested when I occasionally post any more. It happens. It's okay. I've decided to remove such content, as I don't spend anywhere near as much time as I did on LJ and want to make my LJ time a little easier.
3. I took a look at my flist and said "Who's that?!" or "They're still on LJ? Really?". I don't see the point of having names on my flist when I either don't/notice or don't read your posts, or you don't post any more. Whether I have 10 or 100 people on my list, I'd prefer them to be people I actually interact with, whether actively or passively (as in, I sometimes read, but don't comment).
