Same, I got burnt out on social media partway through the pandemic and just stopped checking FB one day after I turned off app notifications because I got fed up at being buzzed constantly for non-direct-interaction reasons. I feel like it's been a very positive change. I also only go there to sell stuff and I'm glad I feel absolutely zero desire to look at the feed at all.
