For a lot of people, going dark is not an option. We're in an era where many employers check your social media history. People who don't use social media risk being labelled as Luddites.

I'm in a profession where it is easy to "go dark." But I still have a facebook account, just in case. I guess I do the next best thing: I ignore it. I don't have the facebook app, and I only check it once a month or so to keep the account active.

And of course I spend way too much time here, which is the complete opposite of "going dark."
