If you feel like your Facebook feed is not a good source of information, you have options other than eliminating it entirely: namely, you can modify what people's content you see on it. Aggressively unfollowing people can work wonders, as can aggressively following interesting people. Unfollowing doesn't mean unfriending, so you don't have to feel like you're snubbing a friend who happens to post largely uninteresting content.

Alternatively, to wean yourself off Facebook, unfollow 5-10 interesting people every time you log on.
