In my case, yes absolutely you can say that. I don't use Facebook so that I can remain ignorant to a different personality that my friends and family have over there.
To give an example, one of my friends makes posts like a politician and thinks his views are always right - sometimes they are sometimes they aren't. But he is a friend with whom I don't want to have political discussions. I don't want to be the one criticizing him on his political views, but if I'm on Facebook that information is going to flow through me - I can't ignore it. So I choose to remain ignorant by quitting Facebook altogether.
This is where, I believe, today's social media get things very wrong in a social context (although I understand that it works for them for selling ads).
In real life -- Is IRL coming back? -- we have many social circles and behave differently in them. Some folk invoke entirely new persona, but most of us have just the one. Nevertheless, people in those different groups will regard us differently.
For example, when you think of bringing two separate groups of friends or social groups together, it's often easy to establish why it wouldn't work. Often when you do bring them together, they split into the original groups, regardless. (Not always, I know; sometimes it works.)
IRL, you can "be yourself" and move between groups without creating a new persona. That's just normal life as it has been forever. Online, however, the only mechanism to move freely between different groups is to create a separate account and, perhaps, a separate persona.
However, the ad-sellers want to know all about the one person, so they discourage this behaviour. e.g. Forcing the use of real names and performing formal validation of id.
It's interesting to me that this was never an issue (at least for me) back in the days of Usenet (and to some extent IRC, still).
(Aside: It's in this area that I believe that Twitter missed its chance. It could have owned this space. Sadly, it chose to sell ads.)
