I don't think you're an outlier. If anything, you're the majority. Most people I know use Facebook and Instagram sparingly and communicate with friends directly using Snapchat, iMessage, Messenger, or Whatsapp. It's not a complete shunning of Facebook/Meta (that feels like an outlier to me) but it's also not using Facebook the way Meta wants you to. They can't show ads in messages (yet).

The people I know use it a lot less after the design update, most of them just can't be botheres to learn a whole new UI.

I cannot even start to imagine how horrible it'll be for society to have ads in messages, the spread of misinformation will be 100x worse.
