I have never (and will never) use Threads. This ad on Facebook shows a screenshot clearly depicting someone having commented on a photo of mine that doesn’t exist. Deceptive, garbage marketing practices from a deceptive garbage tech company. It’s extremely easy to see a tech-illiterate person creating a Threads account just to see what photo of them is on there and who is commenting on it.
And before anyone mentions it, yes I use Facebook. Very minimally. My entire family lives thousands of miles away and Facebook is all I have to feel connected with them.
this mfr just raw dogging the internet without an ad block
I don’t have enough technical knowledge to know how to trust a provider or make my own.
Ads are basically invisible to me now anyway. Theyre just instructions on where to click or to keep scrolling.
trust a provider? wut?
literally just install ublock origin, that’s it
If its free, that means youre not the customer youre the product. Im not tech savvy enough to know what kind of product I am with something like that.
I wouldn’t know how to even begin finding out.
so why precisely are you using a free lemmy instance? shouldn’t you be selfhosting that?
I guess its where you draw the line on what’s an acceptable level. I don’t think either of us will be downloading HALFLIFE3BETA.EXE from thepiratebay, even though all you have to do is install it and thats it.
Adblockers don’t work on facebook. They deliberately obfuscate html, screen readers also don’t work there for the same reason. If you still have an account check it in the inspector, they put each letter in a separate div and do other shenangians
Hey cool, another reason to continue never using Facebook.
Use ReVanced for fucking sake.
Like the other person said, blockers on iOS don’t block in-app ads for the most part (in my experience). I do use AdGuard for what it’s worth and the only thing I’m raw dogging is my wife.
Try nextdns (ie. Addblock at the DNS level). It won’t work for facebook. But works for most apps.
But does nextdns work for his wife?
