I use FBnofb and it allows me to block all the garbage on Facebook by not having an account and never visiting that dump.
On a more serious note, I deleted my account several years ago. This after coming to the realization how much I was passively scrolling past misinformation, polarizing political discussions and curated self-promotion from acquaintances I barely new.
It was funny to have people who never talked to me, complain to a mutual friend that they didn’t what was going on in my life because I was no longer on Facebook, but then never once reached out via any other channel to catch up.
- Marsymars 6y agoThere is some middle ground possible - I simply unfollowed everyone on Facebook, so my feed is always empty, and unfriend anyone with whom I wouldn't be willing to have a coffee. I'm often invited to events that are organized via Facebook, and it's sometime the only point of contact I have for people when they change their other contact info, so my approach seems, for me, more practical than deleting my account entirely.
