I don't think any other site can do what YouTube is doing, because YouTube is almost impossible to replace and find an alternative to. If Facebook pulls this I'm out for good. The only reason I'm on there still is the 3 people who refuse to use anything else that I still care about.
It's family so I guess I'm shit out of luck here. Everyone else I managed to get to communicate through signal or at least email. But those 3 are a bit special.
I don't even get the question. Yeah I use Facebook with a fake name and no data on the account accept a spam mail address to write occasional messages with 3 people. If I couldn't use ad block on facebook it'd be too annoying to use for me even for that.
I did that and facebook banned me for being a bot
If you create a new account probably. My account is many years old but with little activity. Maybe it doesn't get bit scanned anymore.
