From xcancel:
The team behind uAssets, the filter lists used by uBlock Origin, says it will stop fixing ad-blocking issues on Facebook. They say Facebook keeps finding ways around new fixes, making the work increasingly difficult to sustain.
This won’t affect AdGuard’s Facebook filters. We maintain our own rules and will continue updating them.
There’s nothing to celebrate here. It shows how hard it is for small, often volunteer-run teams to keep up with tech giants — and how important their work is for everyone who wants more control over what they see online
uBlock Origin offers some AdGuard rule sets, so I don't know exactly what this means for existing uBO users.
Genuine question, are there a good number of people using Friendica? I looked at it back in like 2017 or whenever Hak5 did a video about setting up Friendica servers, but it always seemed like Mastodon was the way to go, I know they aren't technically filling the same space, but still.
Edit: can't type on mobile
unfortunately the problem is that "aren't technically filling the same space" is a big understatement, they're further apart than lemmy and mastodon are and i highly doubt anyone here would consider moving to mastodon even remotely sensible, they're just utterly different structures.
Maybe it's an issue of perspective. I see them as replacements for Twitter and Facebook and for me specifically I was posting the same things on both, its just that I had some people exclusively on one or the other, so when deciding to cut things, it made sense for me to only setup one given not many people I was communicating with were using either Mastodon or Friendica. I guess the core issue is either I've never really been using social media properly, or I just don't know what the core usecase/structure for Friendica/Facebook actually is.
