unfrienders

Social media removers

People who unfriend others on social media, removing them from their list of connections.

The term implies a deliberate act of severing digital ties: Serial unfrienders clean out their friend lists every few months.

The word carries a slight sting—being unfriended suggests rejection rather than mere drift.
