Fair warning, it will make you look an occasional ass - unfollowing all of your Facebook friends like I do. Occasionally I catch up with someone and they say "yeah so my son" - "Wait, you have a kid?" - "Yeah we've been posting about him for months..." - "ohhh...."

I have a Facebook page with a fake name and zero friends, only a list of hobby groups.

My friends (both of them) have my number. They can text me.

Yes! I do that too. I'll only follow a current partner if pertinent (because failing to respond to those updates could be messy).

But yeah... "mindless scrolling" would otherwise be a problem.

“Good people are quick to help others in need, without hesitation or requiring proof the need is genuine. The wicked will believe they are fighting for good, but when others are in need they’ll be reluctant to help, withholding compassion until they see proof of that need. And yet Evil is quick to condemn, vilify and attack. For Evil, proof isn’t needed to bring harm, only hatred and a belief in the cause.”
