Pretty much anybody who knows how to do those things also knows better than to use Facebook. What do you even go on there for? Also this is like windows fanboy levels of cope. Like “I know this software is designed to spy on everything I do and send all that info back to the literally evil corporation that’s fucking over the planet and ruining everything, and I know that’s it’s objectively bad and terrible to use, but if you just do this list of 100 tweaks and hacks it makes it slightly less terrible!”
I mean, when I don’t have ad blockers I just don’t use the internet. And there’s a lot of websites that I wouldn’t ever visit again even with an adblocker. Because erasing one tiny part of something terrible doesn’t make all the other parts less terrible. Facebook isnt something that can be fixed, it’s fundamentally broken by design. It’s whole purpose(for the last 10+ years at least) is to be a data-sucking, privacy violating, brain-washing manipulation machine. It was literally rebuilt from the ground up to be as addictive, influential, and invasive as possible. It has no redeeming factors, everything that it once did kinda well can be done much better and much easier in other places that don’t have all that baggage.
Stop straddling the fence. You’re talking out both sides of your face and probably your ass, too. You can’t even obey your own rules. Either the internet is just as broken as facebook and requires tools to fix it and avoid ads, tracking, and tailored feeds, or maybe you should just go ahead and stay off the internet. Whatever, man. Go double-standard someplace else.
The only way to get news from my city utilities, mayor, or literally anything local is through Facebook. They do not have a website. Tons of small towns operate like this.
Why is my water brown? I’ll have to log into Facebook to find out.

There are several hobby groups as well as industry groups I beong to and use it for.
Could you be more dramatic?
