I deleted my Facebook account and I believe doing so did (marginally) increase my quality of life. It has forced me to focus more on real-world interactions with people.
I also find it emotionally draining to be in constant contact with people you never actually see... it feels as if Facebook allows fake or weak friendships to continue that would naturally die off without it.
The only thing I do miss is the ubiquity of Facebook Messenger and the features it provides over SMS, which I have now reverted to for communicating with friends.

I agree. One of the reasons I left is because constantly checking FB (ironically) made me feel really lonely.
