Facebook, people, and arguing: my social network experiment
Facebook, people, and arguing: my social network experiment

I refuse to “unfriend” people on Facebook.
Well, okay, that’s kind of false. I will unfriend you if
we’re not actual, real-life friends, and I eventually forget how we knew
each other. But that’s not the point. The point is that my Facebook
friends list is made up of people I know, or knew, in real life. They
may not be people I speak to every day, or people I see in person with
frequency, but they are or were a tangible part of my life: part of what
makes me me. To put that more eloquently:
“I see it as my network: a digital representation of my network. An
archive of the people I’ve encountered and come across. If I want to
understand my story, my history, all of the ways that I’ve come about,
this is one of those vehicles. It’s almost like this weird digital
therapy space where you can get to the heart of where you are via the
people you’ve interacted with.”
That’s WNYC contributor Ibrahim Abdul-Matin in a December episode of the radio show/podcast New Tech City.
I fully agree with that sentiment: For me, Facebook is the one bastion
of personal space left online. I’m only friends with people I actually know (unlike Twitter — shoutout to my man Mike Isaac for the hilarious tweets despite us never having met).
I’ve carefully curated my Facebook friends list (431 strong) from
real life: It’s a virtual directory of my actual life since sophomore
year of college (2006!). That is intentional. I’ve lived in a
variety of places, worked a variety of different jobs and gone to
several different schools, so it’s a pretty broad mix of people. I lived
in Barcelona for a year in college, so there are a handful of folks who
live in and around Barcelona. I lived in Philadelphia and attended
Temple University, so there are a few dozen folks from Philly and many
of them attended school with me. I grew up in Connecticut and worked in a
Tower Records for several years, etc. You get the idea.
Most of the time, at worst, Facebook is boring — a time-wasting dalliance of “I’m eating this fancy thing!” or “Look at my baby!” or “Which Sex & the City character are you?” (I’m such a Samantha). The occasional friend I haven’t seen in 10 years might post a link to the National Report with accidental outrage, or maybe someone gets heated about guns; nothing that elicits anything beyond an eye roll.
Sometimes I add a comment, maybe even argue a bit. But always — always — it’s a discussion. These are real-life friends after all.
