No and see no reason to. I've 100+ Facebook friends that are fellow strength athletes, 99% of the time you find out about competitions via facebook friends sharing or expressing interest in attending.
It's how we plan social events at the facility I barbell at, the local Atari club I belong to etc.
It's how I find out about local shows without having to monitor local venue websites which may or may not be updated (some haven't been updated in years).
Most of my friends no longer live anywhere near me in Indy. I have friends in Australia, New Zealand, Florida, San Francisco, Germany, England, Hungary... Facebook is how I see what is going on in their lives and Facebook messenger is how I keep in touch with all of the ones now outside of the United States.
I don't mindlessly scroll through. People and pages that are important to me are marked as 'see first'. When I open Facebook I'll scroll 5-10 posts (a few times a day) unless I'm waiting on an appointment/oil change/whatever and then I'll scroll past that.
As far as privacy concerns... yeah I don't care. My domain is my name, my username just about everywhere is my name, if I share it online I don't care if every single human being alive sees it. If I don't want people seeing it, I... don't share it online.
