I did the exact opposite with Facebook. The social feed is useless for me, but other features like the ability to browse local events, or the marketplace, drew me back.

I created a new account with a fake name and denied every friend suggestion, but I have joined some groups. The groups are great and don't have the same draw for endless scrolling.

But the events section, there's nothing like it. Lots of free, family events are only advertised through FB, and I will usually spend a few minutes a week finding interesting things to take my kids to over the weekend
