So, I've got some aquaintances that I accepted as Face book friends several years ago. I haven't interacted with these people in over 2 years. Which made me feel a little weird because they may be seeing the odds and ends of things I post on FB...
I'm thinking I should unfriend them. Will they get a notification that I've unfriended them? They may have already unfriended me - I have no idea... I didn't get a notification. I don't think they'd be horribly upset if I unfriended them.
How does the unfriend thing work?

You can just unfollow them.

Or maybe they have already unfollowed you? If someone unfollows you, you both stop getting updates but you can still see each others pages if you like. You don't get a notice.

I finally figured out how to see all 30 of my 'friends'  Most of my family members have more than 500 friends... yeah, I'm that kind of introvert (or I'm incredibly boring). LOL! I think I've been unfriended - since I don't see a couple of the people who I was thinking of 'unfriending'. I'll look into the unfollow thing. Thanks. |

If you go to their profile it will tell you if you are friends then it will either say "follow" or "unfollow." That should tell you where you stand with them.

If you unfriend them, they will not see any notification. You will just quietly disappear from their friends list. Since they have 500+ friends, it is unlikely they will notice that you have unfriended them unless they keep track of their friend total on a daily basis.

I don't think they will get a.notice if you unfriend them, but if you ever want to be friends again you have to request they be your friend again and they have to accept you again. I think it's easier to unfollow, then if you get really bored one day with nothing to do you can easily look and see what they have been doing, but you don't have to see any daily drama updates if you choose not to.

They will not get a notice when you unfriend them or a notice if you went farther and blocked them.
