Did it 4 years ago. Saved a backup of my data, deactivated, and then completely deleted. Yes there will always be a reason to have facebook around, but 4 years on, missing out on all those little reasons people use to defend facebook didn't end up materializing in any meaningful inconvenience or obstacle to living without it.

Yup, exactly what I am doing. I posted that I am deleting my account in 30 days, and linked my SpaceHey profile for people to sign up there and friend request me if they want to stay connected on social media.
Got a backup being generated right now by Facebook of all my data, and will be permanently deleting it after that.
By deleting completely and going to alternatives, that's how we tell them it's not ok.
