You can also just block people, so they see you as a friend still, but you don't see anything they say. I decided several years ago to not waste my time on FB. I keep my account and check it once a month or so. I too kept it, just in case I wanted to reach out to someone, that I didn't have contact info for. When I check it, I don't even look at the feed. It's such a time suck, in my opinion. I also think it's become the new "email forward." Just so much junk. I use twitter, mainly for following news, sports, and a few close friends. Different vibe on twitter, I think. I don't follow a lot of people that aren't reporter types. You can really tailor twitter to fit what you'd like to see. I use instagram to post pictures (Kind of in to taking pictures, so works well for me to post them) and only follow closer friends and family.
