I'm from the U.S. and your experience matches mine. I just have like 1 niece, 1 cousin and a friend or two that I had to unfollow. I'm still friends with them, I just don't see any of the political stuff they post.

I know some people have like 500+ friends or even the max of 5,000. I keep my friend list to the 250 people I know in real life that I want to keep in touch with. Probably still melting my brain but I'm convinced it's nice to keep up with people's lives.

Exactly. 150 or so for me, but the ones who insist on being political all the time have long since been muted or unfriended.

And who do you know who still sends Christmas cards? That was for those people that you never see IRL. Now they're FB friends.
