Social media after mutual ghosting between friends.

A friend and I mutually ghosted one another after a fairly long friendship. We had met through our daughters who are now late teens and not friends anymore.
I am happy to have dropped the friendship without discussion as, in the circumstances, discussion wouldn’t have changed our feelings and would have just caused upset and anxiety for us both.
It’s been 6 months since we last spoke and I’m now considering what to do about social media. Part of me wants to keep the social media link, despite our not communicating via SM, as I feel it will make it less awkward if we bump into one another if we have not entirely severed links. Part of me would like the finality and closure of removing social media links, particularly as she is often making a point of referring to “my new friend” and similar in Facebook posts.
I guess the best middle ground is to secretly block so that I don’t see her posts. What would you do/have you some in this situation?

I would mute her facebook posts so you can't see them and also put her on my restricted list so that she couldn't see mine. I wouldn't go so far as to defriend her. You can reassess that later. She might defriend you anyway.

Or just unfollow . She might cotton on that you've blocked her but she'll never know if you just unfollow .
