Not permanently, but yes, I stay deactivated nearly 100% of the time. Facebook's algorithm doesn't seem to work for me, as the feed is cluttered with mostly old college acquaintances and (maybe worse) older relatives sharing crazy articles and posting things that look like they came straight out of r/oldpeoplefacebook. In many ways, I preferred Facebook and other social medias when my family members were not following me on the platforms. I am an adult and nearly 30 years old, but it feels a bit like your parents watching you at your first school dance. That is, it's hard to be yourself when you're worried what people think. This includes peers, but maybe it's easier to brush off the opinions of non-relatives than it is relatives.
