This is highly dependent on your circle of friends. It's much more enjoyable when you're following people who are doing interesting things

An RSS reader wouldn't be compelling if you're just subscribed to Buzzfeed, after all.

Well, you're probably not wrong. 99% of my ~400 "friends" are people I knew in high school who I haven't seen in 15 years.

I keep in contact with my actual friends, but not via FB.

Unsubscribe from their feeds. Unsubscribing, I've basically ignored most of my facebook friends. It's great.

So then what's the point? Since I deleted my account my relationships with my real friends and family has definitely improved. When I see them in person we actually have things to catch up on and talk about and those in person interactions have much more value for me.

I'm defrending, trying to get to < 100. 50 would be perfect :)

Guess your idea is better, but it's actually kind of fun to de-friend ppl. You should try ;)
