All my school/college friends are on Whatsapp (owned by Facebook yes). We have setup a group for our class and I get to know whatever that is happening without any ads. I deleted my Facebook account a while ago (I know its not really deleted but whatever) and basically it didn't make any difference as such. Nobody complained that I wasn't on Facebook, I didn't have to see what people ate last evening or how awesomer their life is compared to mine and it saves a ton of bandwidth/keeps my phone snappy. For browing via PC, Ublock Origin filters are working fine for now. I actually feel better without Facebook.
