The good news is that you can always just stop giving Facebook information about you. I have largely stopped using Facebook a couple of years ago, though I joined in 2004. I use text, email, phone to communicate. I don't really have any urge to sign in and view my feed, the most interesting stuff I find on HN and Reddit. If there is something truly important about a friend, I'll hear about it whether or not I use Facebook. In general, the less I use Facebook the more focused and productive I am. Thats just me though, I have plenty of friends signing in on a daily basis and consuming the newsfeed like popcorn.
