This is mostly an issue for businesses that were using groups, not individuals.
But beyond that, Facebook is particularly difficult to separate from depending on what you use it for. If you don’t care about anyone else on it, sure, you can leave the platform. But if you need to communicate with certain people and they won’t leave it, especially regional groups, you’re stuck.
My neighbourhood facebook group is pretty useful. I have discover a running group on facebook to run with people, it’s cool and improve my mwntal health. All critisizm about facebook is valid but as long as it’s useful to me, i’ll stay on it.
This is me, I occasionally post something we’re doing, but by far most of my feed and interaction is with groups. I created a neighborhood FB group as an easy way to pass along info/communicate
With pihole, ublock origin, Firefox (FB container) and social fixer browser extension, Facebook isn’t all that bad… Haha
Add in 2016 allowed me to prune/unfollow a number of crazy people.
