I don’t really use facebook anymore so couldn’t care less; but so happened to log in today to change my password and saw this on my front page.

    Adblockers block ads, not posts. Fucking Facebook is trying to gaslight you into killing your adblocker by blocking your friends posts themselves and then blaming you for it.

    Youtube has a lot of unique content, some of it valuable. Facebook has very little of value. Like, just go home Facebook, no one cares, you’re drunk.

      Yeah, Facebook can not know when your adblocker is blocking those posts, unless they did it themselves.

      Facebook has groups, and unfortunately, that’s a pretty important feature. The car groups I belong to are hardcore track drivers and DIYers that share knowledge (problems and resolutions, alignment specs, tire and wheel experiences, custom parts, parts swaps, etc) and independent manufacturers who make stuff that isn’t otherwise easily available.

      Until there is a solid replacement for that, I can’t get rid of Facebook proper.
