  Adblockers don’t work on facebook. They deliberately obfuscate html, screen readers also don’t work the 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

  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.

  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.

      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?
