How do you get off social media as a zoomer?

Social Media

I have Facebook, insta, tiktok, and reddit as social media, nothing else (I dont count whatsapp and discord since I use them exclusively to chat). Insta I have a fairly healthy relationship with, I just post cute photos and send memes and recieve them. Tiktok is similar. Facebook just makes me so sad sometimes. Admittedly I have pmdd and am in a flare rn, but today someone i didn't have the best relationship with anyway unfriended me and I was so depressed for hours. Its horrible how a stupid little app (and an unpleasant person on their phone) can make me feel that way. The one problem i have is that I use Facebook to keep up to date on local events and activities. I found my amazing youth club through Facebook, for instance. I don't spend an excessive time on social media, my most used apps are browser, Spotify, whatsapp, and camera/lightroom, but it does bother me that social media can just tank my mood, even though its much less of an occurrence now compared to when I was younger. What can I do to get off Facebook, while still keeping in the loop with local events? Is there a way I can use Facebook for groups only, and hide my friend list and count from myself?
