I think, this is a relevant comment as its a very direct way of achieving the same result - avoiding Facebook (or the way it affects us). I got rid of my account few years back. Best thing I did. And I'd recommend that to most people.

Its a wise thing to do. I use it to simulate, how I would do in a face to face communication. So a smiley, where you would actually smile, to soften the blow, or to add humility when pointing somebody's wrong could be useful. Of course

Whatsapp is useful, if you manage to stay out of groups. I quit most groups, except two which are very low frequency. And Whatsapp is useful for me now. Edit: And I am (proudly) Facebook free, for over 1.5 years now.
