If the Meta devs find their work drying up as a result and are risking a layoff, they could always contribute anonymously to keep the racket going perpetually.

The comments on Reddit are fucking insane, they literally read like they're from Facebook itself.

Lemmy / the Fediverse is far from perfect but I'm so glad the discussions here aren't so entitled and selfish.

Yeah, I gotta say that while shit is looking pretty bad on the corporate producer side of things, this society/system has bred a ton of entitled consumers that think their desires are important to anyone that can make or do things.

Even if you're paying someone for something, that doesn't mean you can dictate what they do or how they do it. Or even that they need to offer you what they willingly offer others. There's some people where no amount of money would make dealing with them worthwhile, let alone what they are willing to pay for special treatment.

But with FOSS, there isn't even the incentive of money greasing the interaction. It's just pure entitlement. No one owes you anything just because you're interested in their project or skills.

I've also deleted WhatsApp when they changed their terms to some bullshit data sharing or something. It's tough when everyone and businesses use WhatsApp as the only means of communication. Average person doesn't even think about tech providers and we're all worse off getting swept in the tide of ignorance.

I blocked all those on the router-side for a while. Suddenly I couldn’t take calls on WhatsApp anymore. Makes you wonder, dunnit?

I also only have one friend left who I can’t get to move to Signal. Motherfucker is gonna get an ultimatum from me soon, I’m tired of Meta and their shit.

Careful, this is how you make the key cards to the server room stop working 😆

The perfect solution.

I agree. Make a pop-up and tell the user Facebook is determined to monetize and track every moment they're on the site. If they want to continue they'll get an unfiltered experience and may God have mercy on their souls.

Honestly, I'd be fine with this. A full block and some message saying underlining these details and forcing the user to disable adblock if they really want to proceed.

I know a way you can stop seeing ads altogether!

*Pulls out fork*

Isn't it already a dangerous place to visit?

That "article" is obviously AI generated; that whole page should be blocked from this community.

Not to defend them too much but I'd assume that a lot of the employees are just trying to make a living. The department I'm working at was recently taken over and I have a mortgage and a kid so even if I morally disagree with some of the practices of my new employer I can't just quit without uprooting the lives of my family.

It's the same for the majority of workers stuck in big corporate jobs. The capitalist orphan crushing machine will crush all in the end. Not just the orphans.

As a dev i can tell you the current job market is hell. If you like to feed you and your family meta is likely one of the better options currently. We are expected to do courses in our free time, watch the infrastructure on weekends while earning less than cashiers. Why i stay in this field? I already changed a field. I have two bachelors. Im tired.

I simply cannot understand how people are willingly working at a place like Meta.

The same reason people are willing to napalm brown kids for Uncle Sam, a chance at a better life, price be damned. People will find a way to justify their life choices one way or another but it really comes down to wanting food and shelter. Yes, I realize that's an extreme example but I hope you understand the point i'm trying to make. We live in a fucked up world that pits us against each other. When we fight each other, we're too busy to fight our oppressors.

there aren’t a lot of nice places hiring foreign workers en mass, and meta, google, palantir, tormentnexus, etc, offer a chance at a better life for them and their families.

the major reason to make life a hell for as many people as possible is to have this kind of leverage on them.

The rest is "suggested" content. It's not an ad, just posts from accounts the algorithm thinks you should see.

There has been no release of FBP since January 2026, and Fernandez has not made any public statement as to whether he is continuing to develop FBP. Many Facebook features it previously blocked, such as intrusive ads, are no longer blocked.

Currently I am trying Nora as an alternative, per a Lemmy recommendation:

But honestly, I do not use Facebook, so I can't speak to how well it works there.

Came here to mention F.B. Purity too, it's pretty much the only thing that makes FB tolerable.

And yea, I only visit FB for some local community groups and pages, and to chat with family in Messenger. I only share articles on my profile maybe once a year, and stopped uploading photos sometime before the pandemic 😅 But sadly it's still the most mainstream social platform in Europe.

Not available for android. Boo.

I dont have the app on my android but access fb through the website. Would this work for that do you know?

There's also a Greasemonkey script called Clean My Feeds which gives the enduser sufficient control to curate their Facebook experience by getting rid of some annoyances.

What's wrong with ublock origin?

Nice try, YouTube.

Or stop their service and everyone suffers?

Yes you should.

With a uBlock filter it's so easy to do, too

The venn diagram of uBlock Origin users and Facebook users is two completely separate circles.

Unfortunately, it’s the only used marketplace that still exists in my city.

U crazy? Doesnt watch commeryiql since 12
