In a Facebook context, friends of my friends often aren't even really friends of my friends, let alone me.
It is very common for sorta-random people to be marked as "friends" because one of them clicked "Yes I know this person" when the creepy suggestion algorithm made a tenuous link based on some shared history and the other person either didn't have the heart to deny the request or clicked confirm just to pad their own friend number or whatever else.
I still haven't even tried jelly, not because of the OP's concerns, exactly, but primarily because if I want to know the answer to a question, I have the internet already with its many sources of forum/stackexchange/whatever expertise on various topics. I'd much rather ask a question in one of those contexts and get an answer later that is well reasoned and knowledgeable than get a bunch of people guessing, joking and/or throwing in random nonsense opinions simply because of social pressure to provide some sort of quick answer.
