Have you ever noticed how difficult it is? First of all, there’s no longer any way to do it en masse, like a batch delete, mousedrag->shift+delete. No such thing. If you go to your friend list and start deleting your friends one by one, not only does it take some time for the page to confirm changes, the friend list is randomised every single time a friend is deleted. Even when you reject friend requests, the less polite of the two options is “Not Now”.
Not Now.
-“Wanna be friends, oh college mate I never talked to and always seemed to avoid?!”
-“Not now”.
This “not now” mentality is the same sort of that’s left my personal space brimming with useless stuff I have vowed to get rid of “someday”. Procrastination.
In a similar spirit, the randomising of friends list would be like, while sorting out your room trying to decide between the things you’d rather keep and those you should probably let go of, having everything shuffled around everywhere.
Just imagine! That little prefume you keep that reminds you of an ex ends up behind the stereo system; your wallet under some childhood photo albums; that stupid old shirt you’re holding onto just because you love the person who gifted it to you, under the bed; that battery charger you you don’t use anymore which was too expensive to throw away, too cheap and too old to sell, and you’re too bored to give away, in your underwear drawer.
What’s the matter, Facebook? Why don’t you like the idea of me cleaning up my room?
