It's not about being "off the grid" it's about how Facebook uses your private info, how they sell it and profit from it, and sometimes they do it without telling you. In fact, Facebook exists to do that. So it's nothing like buying something online really. Not from a usual website.
That said, I really hate Facebook but I'm on it because it seems necessary. However, I tell them nothing about myself, never have given them my phone#, never post photos or artwork (because then they own them -- read the fine print). They own all the data you willingly give them -- other sites do not do that.
Just be aware -- any photos you post on Facebook you are giving to them to use however they please. Without crediting you too.
I find Facebook useful in some ways but I make sure I use them -- they don't use me.
