I did the exact opposite with Facebook. The social feed is useless for me, but other features like the ability to browse local events, or the marketplace, drew me back.
I created a new account with a fake name and denied every friend suggestion, but I have joined some groups. The groups are great and don't have the same draw for endless scrolling.
But the events section, there's nothing like it. Lots of free, family events are only advertised through FB, and I will usually spend a few minutes a week finding interesting things to take my kids to over the weekend
- weq 4y agoYet, i still appreciate Fb? why? it has an uncanny ability to group together likeminded individuals. No need to read tabloids, get your junk food pushed to your phone.

- binbinbinbin 4y agoI tried that, at least until the supposed quality of FB Market placed seemed to average out to Gumtree/Craigslist levels. It had some odd results - for a long time, it would only suggest accounts from central Africa as potential friends. Then it quite suddenly switched to likely-looking people from my own country, and scarily interspersed with people that I really did know.
