It's not necessarily about limiting activity on their domains. Their evilness (well, some of it at least) is that they track you on pretty much every site you go to. Even if you don't have an account, they track you. You never opted into them collecting data on you AND you can't opt out.

If you NEED to use facebook you can limit some of the damage by not having their apps installed on your phone, just use a browser and go to facebook.com or instagram.com. It has most of the functionality, but more importantly you can control which data is shared with them.

Also also....none of this will change anything. People will still use it, they'll still go to websites that have tracking pixels. They'll still do whatever they do on facebook/whatsapp/IG. They are too big and the network effect is too large for anything to ever have significant impact. SO MANY PEOPLE need to delete their facebook accounts for it to have any effect or financial impact.
