When I was in college I did a similar thing using a Chrome add on that removed my Facebook news feed during finals week. At some point since I left college though, either Facebook changed their algorithm or enough friends dropped the platform that I basically just don't use it anymore. There's people I'd like to interact with still on there, but I just stopped seeing their stuff.

There's Leechblock NG for Firefox and Chrome which is an active extension that achieves this.
