You can block Facebook ads by blocking the Facebook domains. This is what I do, anyway.
Even if you get through the ads, there’s nothing of value there. At best, you’re maintaining superficial relationships while wading through AI slop and ragebait. If you haven’t actually talked to the person in years, consider whether there’s even a real connection there or if you’re just inflating each other’s egos by pressing a like button every couple weeks.

I think some of us remember MySpace days, when you reconnected with old friends and quickly remembered why you’re no longer friends. For my cohort, Facebook solved a solved problem. Once I got anything other than from friends, I bounced. Haven’t talked to a few since, but if that’s their bag, more power to them.

But, but, but they need us moving as one, unified herd, though… Think of the shareholders!
