About 2 years ago I decided to "stay" on facebook on new terms: my interaction with it was reduced to checking messenger less than once a week (I have messenger lite installed and notifications turned off) and login into its mobile page around once a month to check for any important @mentions or photos people may have posted of me. I also have facebook cookies blocked. Everyone on facebook who needs to contact me urgently or more directly knows of alternative ways to do so.
I do feel strongly that facebook as a tool has evolved to become more toxic than beneficial. I don't think being worked up against it will solve anything so I find that my ignoring it is way more useful in the long term and trying to leave and having to decide what to keep, who to notify, etc. From my perspective facebook can very well become slowly irrelevant and now one will care.
