Added back only a few real friends. But slowly started getting requests from many of the previous friends. Some thought I had unfriended them, so had to explain to them that it was a new account. Felt obligated to add back most of the people. Now my feed is useless again. Perhaps this should be yearly ritual.

Things to remember when you create a new account: 1. an alias for profile name rather than real name 2. don't put your picture in your profile

This way, you can add people you want to, and you'll not get requests from people you're hiding from.
