1: My Facebook Friends List has at least 3 people on it who are dead. Is it rude to delete someone who is dead?
2: There are people on my FB Friends list, that I don't know who they are or how they ended up there. Should I delete them?
3: How long should I keep a bookmark for a Blogger who has stopped blogging? Some of them I know are still alive and just stopped posting.
4: How long should I keep the bookmark for a blog friend, who has died?
5: Do you have a FB account?
I really want your answers, For the first four I truly struggle with what to do. Obviously I still have a FB account, Somedays I wonder why. I did unfriend Mark Zuckerberg recently. I wish his dog would post again, I miss the dogs' postings.
1: My Facebook Friends List has at least 3 people on it who are dead. Is it rude to delete someone who is dead? I have over time “unfriended” my dead Facebook friends. It does take me a while to do so.
ReplyDelete2: There are people on my FB Friends list, that I don't know who they are or how they ended up there. Should I delete them? If I look back and don’t know them, have obviously had no contact with them, and can’t remember why we’re friends on Facebook, I do delete them.
3: How long should I keep a bookmark for a Blogger who has stopped blogging? I find myself waiting about 6 months... just in case they start up again. If I know the blogger and they‘ve officially said they‘re no longer blogging, I remove them from my list right away.
4: How long should I keep the bookmark for a blog friend, who has died? I find myself waiting a few weeks for some reason. But it seems pointless to keep them on a list that could send someone else there only to find they’re no longer around.
5: Do you have a FB account? Yes. I hate the company and what they do behind the scenes. But I appreciate the connections to long-losts. That being said, if Facebook is the only way we stay connected, maybe there’s not enough there.
I need to clean out some lists
Delete1: My Facebook Friends List has at least 3 people on it who are dead. Is it rude to delete someone who is dead? No, I would delete them, unless there is a sentimental reason.
ReplyDelete2: There are people on my FB Friends list, that I don't know who they are or how they ended up there. Should I delete them? Delete them.
3: How long should I keep a bookmark for a Blogger who has stopped blogging? Some of them I know are still alive and just stopped posting. Delete them. I have loved reading many bloggers over the years who just stopped blogging. Once it hits a year, if they haven't blogged I remove them from the blog list, to keep a active list for other bloggers to follow. No one wants to follow a blog or find a community when it hasn't has been active in over a year.
4: How long should I keep the bookmark for a blog friend, who has died? If it's one you don't find you go back to read often, then delete it. You still have your memories. I still have not removed Anne Marie yet. I have myself still clicking on post she did to go back and read, and even comment!! Just a shame that the spam bots have littered her comments section. I could just hear her.
5: Do you have a FB account? NO! I'm only on blogger and Instagram for my pictures. What I don't share on my blog goes on to my Instagram.
I have to go in a couple of times a week recently and clean out the spam comments, movers in India, really? Have I ever posted anything that indicated I would ever move there?
Delete1. I have not deleted some friends on FB who have died. Most I have, but some I just haven't let go of.....for a decade.
ReplyDelete2. Delete. I've done that to a degree. Some I know from blogging and will stay, others are friends of friends whom I don't know - or really know. Those I've started purging.
3. UGH. Sore subject. I don't have an answer, as I have a few of those.
4. I'm not sure I'm liked to a blogger who has died. The blogs I know to be defunct to whom I still link are breathing, if not alive.
5. I do. I don't know why. I peruse more than post.
I seldom post on FB, there are few people I only hear from there
DeleteMy answers will be quick because I don't have a Facebook account. I closed it out shortly after learning their role in electing DT. As for the bookmarks, I edit them on a regular basis to keep them up to date.
ReplyDeleteMore should drop FB
Delete1: My Facebook Friends List has at least 3 people on it who are dead. Is it rude to delete someone who is dead? I just found out the other day that the mother of a friend, who was also a friend, had passed away. I have not deleted her. I didn't delete my sister when she passed, and I didn't delete others. It doesn't hurt anything to keep them there.
ReplyDelete2: There are people on my FB Friends list, that I don't know who they are or how they ended up there. Should I delete them? Yes. I really only Friend people I know. I don't need to be friends with the friend of a friend or cousin of a friend.
3: How long should I keep a bookmark for a Blogger who has stopped blogging? Some of them I know are still alive and just stopped posting. Another thing I don't change. JP, from London, stopped blogging a year ago when his husband passed, but I still have his blog listed.
4: How long should I keep the bookmark for a blog friend, who has died? I will keep Anne Marie's forever because I smile when I see it and I think of her.
5: Do you have a FB account? Yes I do. I don't post a lot, I read a lot. But I do keep up with friends on the Left Coast that I don't see often enough.
I knew JP had stopped blogging, I had not heard . . .
Delete1. Delete
ReplyDelete2. Delete
3. I usually keep dormant blog bookmarks for a year. Then, if no blogging has resumed, I delete.
4. Delete
5. No
I need to do some cleaning up. I get birthday reminders from FB for people who are long gone
DeleteI'm no help here, hon. I don't FB, or snaptweet or instachat or whatevers. I can say that I have a tendency to keep some emails for a while. I re-read a few that Anne Marie and I shared with each other. I ended up deleting them because I cried too much. She would've probably broke an ABBA record (record?) over my head for indulging in such nonsense.
ReplyDeleteI wish you would blog, glad you have avoided Meta in all of it's forms.
DeleteI had to look up Meta. I still don't know what it means and I have a headache now.
DeleteI'm much too lazy to blog, not to mention technocapped.
I love my little Duchess Deedles...technocapped or otherwise.
Delete1. Not rude. Delete.
ReplyDelete2. Yes, delete them and keep better control.
3. I keep them but move them to a different heading.
4. See answer to 3.
5. Yes, checked daily but I rarely post.
I did some clean up today
Delete1: The dead are better remembered in other ways. I delete and remember them elsewhere.
ReplyDelete2: I delete them after some attempt to see how I may know them.
3: I have a 6 month rule. I leave in their last entry I've missed them. and hope when they restart they will tell me.
4: I've moved these to a file. It feels like a graveyard or better yet a collection of portraits of loved ones who have moved on.
5: Yes, and I continue to feel bad about it.
Wise as always
