I used to do the same. And I got it to a point where my feed was great, I could check it every few days and get updates from people I know and community organizations.

But the issue is, it seems Facebook is now injecting algorithmic content into the feed, so suddenly my feed was full of random internet drama (that the algorithm obviously pushed because it was maximally controversial, leading to more engagement).

I deactivated my account not long after, and don't miss it.
