> I would love to have a social media platform where I can have multiple tiers of friends. Social Media "friends" and separately a circle of ACTUAL friends. You would get more access to the data shared by actual friends.

"Um, /u/galaxyLogic? Why aren't I in you "ACTUAL" friends list? Is there something you want to tell me? Are we not actually friends?"

I see what you're trying to say - Facebook friends are often just random chumps you've met once, never or are distantly related to someone else you've met once - but I think a tiered system could quickly become something of burden on said friends :P

It was taxing even before this. Welcome to the site! Now choose who your real friends are.

I can see the point. Nobody wants to be perceived as rude. At the same time I think everybody understands that if we've never met in person we probably are not friends enough to exchange phone-numbers for instance.
