I also deleted FB about a year ago. However I don't use LinkedIn to keep in touch with friends. I text them and call them. I feel like relationship with my friends improved after deleting FB. Also, number of friends reduced too. YMMV

For close friends I also stick to calling and texting them but fall back on LinkedIn for tertiary connections I had at various orgs before that I didn’t have numbers for or to seek out alma mater working in specific teams/companies.
