On friending

[caranfindel]

Before the LJ redesign, my home page used to show updates from people who weren’t on my friends list, but I had visited their pages recently. I didn’t realize how much I needed this until it went away (is there a way to get to it that I'm missing?). There are so many LJers who I used to view regularly but never friended for some reason. Anyway, as I find them again, I’m friending them, and as I’ve seen some people have friend policies, I guess I’ll share mine. If I friend you, it’s because I want to follow what you’re doing. It doesn’t mean I expect you to friend me back or that I’ll be hurt if you don’t. It just means I don’t want to forget you’re out there and miss whatever excellent things you’re posting. If you’d prefer I didn’t friend you, that’s cool. Just let me know. No hurt feelings, I promise.

I'm so stunned to see someone saying something relaxed and well-adjusted on social media (that isn't fic) that I don't quite know what to say. :-)

Sigh. Sorry. I've had a few rough days on the "faith in humanity" (or at least in human intelligence) front. This makes sense to me; wish there were more like you. I even wish *I* could eschew the drama as much, sometimes.

Wait, there's drama about this? And I missed it?
