Well, I just whacked about 10 friends from my Facebook friends list. Of those that remain, about one-quarter of the non-St. John's friends have been marked as acquaintances.
I had just returned from my second Facebook timeout. This one was four days; I think the first was five, if not a whole week.
It was enough, and I think good enough, for me to think about doing it one week a month. It would help social media detachment. Now, do I do this one week a month with Twitter? If so, the next step after that is to do it some week with both at the same time.
As for the whole issue about whether online friends are really friends or not, to the same degree as meatspace friends?
Outside of Leo Lincourt, I don't think a single non-Lifering friend would be a meatspace friend. That's not to say that all Lifering friends would be that, either.

That's actually kind of harsh.
Brett Welch would almost certainly be a meatspace friend.
From the world of thinkers, Massimo Pigliucci and John Horgan would be.
