Deleting facebook is a signal. Abandoning social life altogether is a signal too.
I believe the only way to stop is to generate white noise - by sending signals so mixed that those who observe stop trusting them
But even by quoting that, I'm still playing (albeit by attempting to jump out into the meta game).
So the only ones who are actually not playing are the ones who are clicking away from this vapid comment page and moving on with their lives.
