I don't want my friends texting me everything. That's far more disruptive than a passive feed I can glance at. And I don't want to text my friends everything either.

One of the great things about Facebook is the unexpected social interactions. I post a picture and someone I haven't talked to in a while comments something really great on it and sparks a conversation and rekindles the friendship. That's not going to happen over text.

People in my life on a daily basis are in my life on a daily basis. People in my life occasionally are on Facebook.

We have a Telegram group with all the important people.

Just mute it so you can passively read it. And if it's something specifically for you they can @handle you.

Also we have more specific groups for gaming, memes, serious, homework,...

Oh and a "huge" group were we can add new people at first, that somebody randomly met somewhere. So they can maybe get friends with some of the others too.

That’s fair.

I am personally going through a period where I need to tighten my circle and cut down on the number of people that I communicate with on a given day, so that’s what’s driving my approach.

Thank you for sharing your perspective.

Real friendships aren't passive.

You have a very restrictive view of what a real friendship is. I'm sorry, but you don't get to define my relationships, that is not your right.
