If I ‘friend’ you, is there any way for you to tell that I’ve done so?
Can others see whom I have friended?
No.
I just friended you. Did you receive any indication of it?
No I did not.
A useful feature, but a confusing use of the term ‘friend.’
Indeed. You could subscribe to people as ‘friends’ purely because you consider them a bad influence and wish to be sure you see their comments, the better to refute and downvote them.
Keep your friends close...
In what way are you not describing friendship? ;-)
