I ran into a similar problem, because Facebook is a great way to find family friendly activities going on in my area, and the marketplace / buy nothing groups are good for me as a parent with young kids.
1) Silently disable my FB account, delete all relevant phone apps
2) Create a new throwaway email address
3) Use that email address to create a new dummy facebook account with none of my actual information or friends on it
4) Delete the email address
I now have an account I can log into for specific purposes (like following businesses), but none of the mindless feed scrolling that came with my old account. In fact, the name is so inappropriate and fake, that I can't be tempted to use it as actual social media anymore because I'd almost certainly get reported.
