If you want to use the primary Facebook service with Dark Mode then you can do that too, by using this trick to use Facebook.com with Dark Mode in Chrome or Safari web browsers.

Apparently the full Facebook app is also creating a Dark Mode capability but as of writing that is not yet available on the Facebook for iPhone or Facebook for Android apps yet (according to rumors anyway), but if you’re a big dark mode fan you can look forward to that in the near future most likely.

This obviously applies to Facebook users only, and if you had the service and deleted Facebook or never signed up for it in the first place, this won’t be particularly relevant to you.
