I have an account because some of the posts here lead back to FB.
But the first thing I did when I saw people trying to “friend” me, was to disable all notices and strip my profile down to name only.
I rarely, if ever, go to my homepage for anything.
I once had a skeleton FB page (fake name and no other info) just so I could be “friends” with one of my kids who has a music career going. I even deleted that after I found I didn’t need it to view public FB pages. By the way, I was amazed at how many other people with FB accounts used the same fake name as me. (The name was NOT a common name by any stretch, and was actually the birth name of a long-dead, cult-variety movie star.)
