My solution was to stop using Facebook cold turkey and request that my friends contact me another way. My real friends did, the rest didn't bother. I spend more time interacting with people I care about and less time "interacting" with "friends".

Came here to say this.

Deleting my fb account has been a positive experience. Real friends stay in touch, and the stressful negative/argumentative comment threads and posts are gone.

Admittedly I still use instagram. Their model works well to let me keep in touch loosely, without highlighting every like/repost/comment of the people who I follow.
