I have not yet but plan to. I announced my intention to delete it last week. Since then I have been getting as many people as I can, that want it, setup on Wire.
The main reason I didn't delete it yet is that I just started my vacation to Iceland and wanted to make sure I can arrange meetings with my friends here for Christmas and New Year's.
My plan was, and still is, to delete it on New Year's eve.
I did do a bunch of research on different messaging apps before announcing my intention to delete Facebook so that I could point those that want it to another app.
Here on the west coast of Canada it's really hard. Everyone uses Facebook messenger for chatting. I am definitely going to lose contact with a number of people when I pull the trigger.
Between email, SMS, Discord (along with Steam and Battle.net to a lesser degree), and Wire I should have a way to contact most of the people I currently chat to.
It's really hard though and my wife isn't enthusiastic about it as she wants me to stay in contact with her family and they basically just use Facebook. They also live in another country so SMS is more costly.
Will be interesting to see how much it effects me next year.
