Can’t recall where i saw this or why i saw this. Possibly a FaceBook Disney Group post.
Cleaned out roughly 1,500 Facebook (FB) posts from my account. Joined FB in 2009, by the way.
Deleted 1,000 comments too.
There are currently zero Friends in the account.
Note, prior to last week’s epic FB cleansing project, there were only 27 Friends in my account. But all of the stuff from previously having 450 Friends and being an “over-poster” still remained. It took 30 hours over six days.

Sharing this to help my healing. Writing here helps. Initially replied to Fred’s comment with one of my own. Decided to cut it word-for-word and paste it in a personal text to Fred. Verbatim comment, below…
This feels so much better. Only Fred and i see it. Did the same thing, in the same order, with another colleague’s FB comment.
Still working on a decision to keep (now, with zero ‘Friends’) or delete my ‘personal’ Family FB account.
Originally had 450 Friends. Family, High School friends, College Fraternity friends, Disney colleagues, a few clients. Probably a decade ago i reduced it by at least half.
Why?
Too much to try to keep up with.
Then a few years later, the original 450 was now sitting at 27. Just Family and a couple HS & College buddies.
This week i unfriended all 27. So that’s where the zero comes from. This is a compromise from the original desire to officially delete the entire account. Once again, time will tell.

Probably one of the earliest adopters to stop posting in real time.
As a husband and father, and traveling Disney Customer Service Keynote Speaker (See what i just did? That’s called keyword stuffing.), i never want to allow others to know whether i’m home or not.
Ps. Glacier Summers are going to morph into a different habit. Why? Shelf-life. Lifestyle changes. Creativity.

Does anyone care about last week’s closing keynote speech to 600 International Guests – and the standing ovation? No.
Does anyone care that i had an all-expenses-paid trip to Montreal and got to run through the city before flying home? No.
Facebook work, also known as our job or our career.
Is Facebook a hack (a “short-cut cheat” for avoiding the hard work, and risk, of creating our own platform – owning and managing a domain name – on our very own piece of digital real estate?
Do we really want to rely on our Facebook friends to become better informed about our world? (Because some of our friends have the time to act as curators, and they post what they think their “audience” will appreciate and enjoy)
Do we really want to push our world view on our friends without ever having their permission (because we never ask, “Would you like to hear what i think about ______?)?
Do we have any idea why we use Facebook, or have we just been swept up in the socially popular current and never creating our own personal vision of how and why we use Facebook (versus our own domain/website)?
And what about all our friends who we are not (for whatever reason) connected with? Does that mean we aren’t friends, or does it mean that we are not good friends?
