Emphasis should be on the cessation of commenting, clicking like, or performing any other Facebook activity, or this process would seem to be in vain. (for sure, the process is only a "soft-delete")

If it is a 'soft-delete' as you and others point out, then at least I know I've done as much as I can without resorting to deleting my account. And yes, I intend to use FB in 'read-only' mode from now on.

  > And yes, I intend to use FB in 'read-only' mode from now on. If you visit a profile, view a video, open a group or message it's all recorded. I'm betting that they can even tell the probability you read an ad just by seeing if you stop scrolling on it and then start scrolling again.

  Even if you delete your account, that information is still probably kept (assuming that you're in the US).

    EU/UK here. Hoping that GDPR will force FB to actually delete every copy of what I've tried to delete/hide.

      Good luck that they don't bork the GDPR replacement bill they're writing for post-Brexit.

Some actions are completely out of your control, though. Other people can still tag you (on pictures, locations, etc.), even if you hide it from your timeline. If there's an option to prevent people from tagging you, I haven't found it.

  There is an option in the settings for that, you need to manually approve tags after that.
