No. But I've
1. got it logged out on devices.
2. Wrote a script and used it to unfollow all the people and pages I follow.
3. Clicked not interested for a few days after on any ads or things that FB tried to still force into my news feed
1 month later I found I have no urge to visit the network anymore. I pop over there once a week or so when I want to check the FB page of a restaurant or to see events happening around me but I'm 100% in control of how I use the network.
I'd love to delete it for privacy reasons, but there's a lot of value to be had in the network which I can't truly be rid of.
Some other notes: FB's behaviour becomes pathologically "interesting" when it senses it's losing your engagement. You get to see just how many paths it tries to take to draw you back in. Right now it's down to what I believe is the last resort. My notifications are filled up whenever I choose to login to FB. And they are filled with "person X posted something". I never click them but I imagine that to someone still trying to wean themselves off FB, it'd be an effective way of trying to pull them back in.
