I have found an easier and more effective strategy: stop paying any attention to Facebook. There are a lot of communications tools on the internet (email, newsgroups/mailing lists, IM, µblogs, …) I just have no need for whatever it is Facebook thinks they bring to the table. People on it seem to use it as a µblog solution so I syndicate mine there for their reading pleasure.
