I just slowly trailed off using it. I wish I could say something more defined like other posters in this thread, but I just stopped.
I first just never logged in on my computer (I think I may have Firefox private browsing and Do Not Track to thank for this since I had to enter my password every time I wanted to go on rather than just hit the URL). It wasn't as interesting at work for a quick break as Hacker News or USA Today, etc.
I still had it on my phone and would look at it when I was waiting for the bus, sitting at a restaurant waiting for someone, or in the washroom. But then I started using Twitter and Instagram.
All the news that I was interested in was on Twitter, and all the pictures of friends I wanted to see were on Instagram. So all that was left on Facebook was articles form Buzzfeed and ads. One day I realized that it was just taking up space on my phone's home screen. I deleted it so I could move Slack and Snapchat up to the first screen.
I still like Facebook Messenger, and keep that app on my phone. Its good to always have <i>something</i> to get in touch with friends with (especially when traveling).
The irony is that I deleted WhatsApp so I could move Messenger up to my phone's home screen. So Facebook and Facebook-owned companies are sort of replacing themselves for me.
