Exactly, and I put a cover picture explaining the situation (it is a closed account blabla), so I didn't receive any judgement from friends. Having removed friends, also means I can not go back in a smooth manner. It is a good way to cut yourself off of facebook's network effect without losing access to events, fb signin, messenger.

If I absolutely wanted to, I could createa second account for that with none of my friends read: um... family, that my first account had on it.
