Same. I sometimes miss some form of connection, and the fact that Facebook exists makes it so much harder for a non-genocide-facilitating / politics-manipulating alternative to replace it.
Ah so it’s not just me. I noticed it either last night or this morning and had a feeling that it was because of uBlock. Oh well, that tiny glitch is still a hell of a lot better than having to use that site without it!
I left Facebook about 3 years ago and i don’t miss it at all. It’s not like I took some big stand. I used to be a freelancer, then I got hired by a company, so I didn’t really need to maintain my social media anymore. Life is good.
At this point, I have a very simple policy: the ad blocker stays on. To me, the headline is equivalent to “Facebook decided to start breaking their website”
Agreed. I used to disable it for some sites but honestly it is just not worth the effort since you never know which malware some ad network is going to serve and you need so many addons now to work around all the crap the tracking industry does that disabling it just isn’t feasible any more. If the ad based financing model dies because of it then so be it. The advertising industry is meanwhile literally ruining our society, our environment, our political system, our health and many other aspects of our lives so they deserve anything they get.
