If you want to completely decontaminate your phone youāll need to get rid of Facebook entirely.

I am finding this to not work. Ads I hit hide on turn up again straight away. No idea why the bloody thing thinks I want to buy an inflatable kayak.

I donāt think it has any effect on the ads. But hiding the āsuggestedā posts seems to work for a short while.
I really wish more people would embrace moving away from Facebook though, Iām primarily there because of some of the groups, and until there are enough people willing to participate in the same type of groups eelsewhere Iām stuck with either using Faceboook or giving up on the groups.

Same here. Iāve moved away from it and taken long breaks but thereās only a few who will contact me via other means.
Also while Iām not big on events now - all the event promo and notifications moved there.

My hope that we can create an easy-to-use fediverse alternative to FB groups and events is literally why Iām here. Help me make this happen!!

Yeah. I gave in to using it in the first place because of Events being on there and nowhere else. Some of the communities are fantastic, others utter poo. Blue sky and Lemmy arenāt big enough to do the same stuff yet.
