I share your conclusion. The feed is so horrendous these days, the only choice is to be part of it, or not. Having left the app over a year ago, I don't feel I'm missing anything. Anyone who wants to be part of my life can text, call, or e-mail (you likely can speculate who these people are before leaving FB, and you'll be right in retrospect). It's nice to not know, and save catching up for IRL. I am told I'm a "bad texter", but truthfully I 110% prefer when people tell me their stories in person, because texting misses out on the non-verbal aspects.

I deleted it too!

I still talk to the same people I was talking to before and eliminated a bunch of B.S.

Literally zero loss to my life.
