Hi Mark,

Kindly find my response for your inquiries below:

To change the 'People' you can simply do language override with the string below:
1. Click Extensions>Languages>Override>New: https://www.screencast.com/t/4DAWvitDctez
2. Key in the language constant and text : https://www.screencast.com/t/0ojXlmYb
Language costant:
COM_EASYSOCIAL_TOOLBAR_PEOPLE

To remove 'Friend' link you can customize the file:
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php
and remove the code below:

<li class="<?php echo $view == 'friends' && $layout != 'invite' ? 'is-active' : '';?>">

						<a href="<?php echo ESR::friends();?>" class="es-navbar__footer-link">

							<i class="fa fa-users"></i>

							<span>

								<?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYSOCIAL_TOOLBAR_FRIENDS'); ?>

							</span>

						</a>

					</li>

You can do template override for this so it will not get override as you undergo update
refer this documentation: https://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/administrators/templating/template-overrides

For adding a new link, you can customize in the same file stated above as well
