    I have written a number of small articles in r/facebook about this very theme. I went much further and deleted my Facebook account so my strategy is a little different to yours, but the thinking is the same.

    I wrote down the tribes to which I belong, and who my real friends are. I encouraged contact with those people through WhatsApp and those people who appreciated me enough to retain contact did connect there. The others simply went by the wayside.

    I then set up groups on WhatsApp for my special interests, and joined forums for the others. Once things were established, I deleted my FB account.

    I find that the quality of my interactions with other people improved immensely, as did my emotional wellbeing.
