my approach to shit was always simply to not friend unfamiliar people unless they've consistently shown up to meetups at least 2-3 times. Whether or not I interact with them, that said, is another matter. I don't often have much to say anyway so i'm not likely to immediately interact with an unfamiliar person even if they are a new guy from the thread.

honestly that's my policy for friending people in general. people in VRC are quick to toss out friend requests to people they just met, which just results in a bloated social list of people you might never really interact with once each other's novelty wears off.

Even in non /vrg/ friend circles I generally dont friend people willy-nilly. And I basically never friend people i've met in public instances.

has worked for me more or less, so far.
