Yes, people still use Facebook š. I love Facebook for all of the groups I am in.
I donāt get those kind of friend suggestions because my contacts are not synced. But in the past week or two my feed is dominated by suggestions to follow random pages. Iām not clicking on them and Iām trying to scroll by those pages quickly, so Facebook doesnāt see me reading the topics because I donāt want them suggested anymore.
Back to your question, make sure your contacts are not synchronized. Or itās possible that your therapist looked you up on Facebook and so did your 80-year-old neighbor which is why Facebook is trying to make the connection.

Yes. My kid's high school sports team communicates primarily to the parents that way (they use some other app to communicate to the players.)
Also, groups for parents whose kids go to a specific college are generally very active.

Click on the little three dots next to the suggestion and tell FB not to suggest that person again. Done!

Well no one believed me. š
It's not that mysterious, the other person/people probably searched for you.

It may be that they havenāt set their settings and youāre getting it based on being in their contacts, not yours.

Just X them out when they show up if you aren't interested.

I don't think your phone always respects the "do not sync contacts."

For example:
My kid's therapist
My kid's college advisor who lives several states away
The dog walker
My hairdresser
My 80 year-old neighbor
My parent's friend's daughter who lives in OH and contacted me about something, otherwise we have never had any contact or shared friends.
I don't share any friends with any of these people. I've checked my settings several times and the do not upload/sync contacts is on. Several of these people have been in my phone contacts for a short period of time, so it couldn't be from years ago before I had selected this setting, which I am pretty sure has always been off.
Any thoughts?
