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."

I am retired so I only care about what I post on social media regarding my integrity.

I love love facebook. I check it every day on my PC. Reminds me of birthdays and has enabled my to connect to family around the world. many friends and family I lost contact with years ago prior to internet.

I do understand being cautions when still employed today.

i use to spend too much time here, but left about 4 years ago. Here does not appear on social media ( that is an assumption). So is easier to speak your feelings.
