When the definition of “friend” is “person you hung out with in HS/College and then only ever associated with via the computer”, maybe you don’t.
Box 4, in particular, is a really depressing rubric for friendship as it assumes a person vanishes the moment they stop providing new content on Social Media. I’ve got friends who occupy the first three quadrants simultaneously, but we still keep in touch by SMS and by actually visiting one another on a regular basis. We’re 100% logged the fuck off past that.
