As far as I can tell, deactivating is just the same as signing out normally, as you can just sign back in when you want.
Is the only difference that people can't contact you when your account is deactivated?
What is the difference between deactivating your Facebook account and just not signing in?
Nope, deactivating and just not signing in are completely different.
Deactivating your account removes your profile/info from your friends. You will disappear from your friends' friend lists and no one will be able to access your profile. You can't be searched. Your name will not show up anywhere so no one can click through to your profile. True, you can sign back in, but it requires a special process to "reactivate" your account. After signing in, you will receive an email that contains a link you must click in order to gain access to your account again.
Just not signing in still leaves your profile available for people to see. Your friends can still access it and people can still search for you.
