POLL: Could you get by without using any Facebook products?

I noticed that #DeleteFacebook is trending on Twitter today and it made me curious about how us makers rely on their products. While I don't use Facebook anywhere near as much as I did about 12-13 years ago in my college days, I rely on WhatsApp and Messenger to stay in touch with friends and family. Instagram is also the main marketing channel for my side hustle. I could not get by without using any Facebook products. Could you?

I really don't think that I could get by without it with how linked it is to social life at Uni. In moving to uni, I was surprised how ubiquitous Facebook is used here, for event planning, societies and even in organizing some course events. While I use Instagram and Whatsapp everyday, I'm sure I could find alternatives to Whatsapp in that I already prefer using IMessage for it's UI and being able to use it on my Mac is amazing. Although for DMs and getting live info from people I follow in the way of stories, I really would struggle to lose Instagram as there isn't any reasonable alternative I can think of, which comes close to the community and features Instagram offers.
