Anyone else decluttering their Facebook list?

Then when we get together we’re all “up to speed.” I love seeing the nephews’ winter hockey pics and updates so when I see them in the spring I can ask about the games. I’m watching several cousins’ babies grow up on the west coast. Two college friends are avid travelers and I enjoy their updates. No one in my list posts political stuff and no one sells junk or posts off-color comments. It’s very civil and beneficial to me.

Similar here. I am only friends on FB with people I know and like in real life. I am quick to block/defriend someone who is abusive, argues in bad faith, etc. My privacy settings are maximal, so you can't find me on FB if you aren't the friend of a friend, and my posts are not public. It's a nice way to keep in touch with friends and family who live far away. So my friend list is short, but meaningful.
