The Group Mind

[poliphilo]

I have over 200 LJ friends but only a small fraction ever do anything. I had a wee clear out yesterday, but only of people who had defriended me or never friended me back. One of them friended me by return and I reinstated him/her- so that was a good outcome.

I notice this morning that other people have been doing the same thing. The group mind in action, I suppose.

I haven't done so for a very long time although some of my friends on my F-list no longer write on LJ or moved to other platforms. I seem to have gained many more recently.

That's good. I haven't picked up any new friends for ages.

Are you new? I thought we'd been mates for ages....

It has gotten much quieter. I miss the days when my Friends page was too much to keep up with.

I wonder whether LJ will ever perk up again. I live in hope.

I live in hope, too. I'm looking around for people on other people's friends' pages to see if maybe we're six degrees of separation.

I need to do that as well.
