I'm at almost a week since looking at Facebook. Like you, I curated the content pretty well, but also wanted to avoid it being an echo chamber, so I don't think I unfriended more than 5 people in a decade because I disagree with them politically. Those were only because they were constantly posting inflammatory memes, always picking fights, and full of negativity. I don't need that in my life or in my feed.
A few weeks back, Facebook changed their algorithm significantly for me. Suddenly I'm getting tons of pages you may like, random comments from friends on pages that are completely useless (stuff like "What street did you grow up on?", "Only 17% of people can remember their kindergarten teachers name. What was yours?", "What do you think about this Manhattan loft?"), etc. No matter how many times I marked I want to see less content like this, it kept feeding me that crap. I don't want reactionary stuff force fed to me.
I'm sure I've missed a couple life events among friends I'd find value in seeing, but I haven't missed it enough to login.
