Sure it's easy enough to deny those requests for "friendship" on Skype, ( hey,
who mentioned Skype ??) that's the easy bit. On email my system dumps them and
other clutter immediately into the Trash bin where they are easy to ignore.
But on facebook I seem to get "tagged" by people I've never heard of (or want
to) as a result of unknown "friends of friends of friends" somehow mentioning
me in mail not ever intended for me. There seems to be an ever increasing
network of contacts I don't want - and all this rubbish keeps coming in which
I delete delete delete. I just hope the senders get disappointed by my lack of
response. Needless to say I'm steering clear of twitter and instagram,
whatever they are.
Tony.

As far as I am aware it’s not compulsory to have friends on FB, to accept
friend requests or do anything other than what you want to do – so you don’t
have to do anything on FB other than join and read posts for groups that
interest you – you don’t even have to actively participate (in the same way
that quite a few BA subscribers over the years have admitted to being
“read-only” members most of the time).
Cheers

Hi John,
You don’t have to divert your FB notifications into your email bin you can set
up FB so that you don’t get email notifications - it was cluttering up my
emails as well.
The good thing about FB when set up this way is that you can peruse your
friend’s posts or favourite FB page when you like and otherwise it doesn’t
interrupt your peace.
