Yes. You don't have to accept their friend's request.

you can also set your security so only friends can see posts. or friends and their friends. or the whole world.

Somebody that won't accept friends request probably feels weird not accepting friends requests.

Same on the both. Serious clean up after election season too.

I didn't know it was a setting, I don't accept any requests for the last 10 years. I will change it to "not allow to add as a friend". I don't like to add people I don't have some level of closeness. I add everyone but bots on LinkedIn, "friend me" there.

Np. You're misunderstanding the question.

OP, I know one person who said "there was some drama," so she set her profile to not allow friend requests. I don't know the details of this drama. She pared down her friend list to just a handful of people.
