    Just block off *.facebook.com in uBlock Origin rules on Firefox (not possible on Chrome) or in system HOSTS ruleset. Leave out the fbcdn.net domain as it only acts as a CDN for videos and images.

      This is about the web browser within Meta apps, uBlock on another browser won’t help.

        Then the HOSTS ruleset will work. You can use NetGuard or Invizible Pro with your custom HOSTS ruleset on Android, and on laptop/desktop, it is easy no matter if you use Linux, Windows, MacOS, BSD or other OSes. No option for iPhones and iPads.

          You know, instance admins can find out who is downvoting and upvoting by checking the database. It doesn’t have to be a mystery if you stand up your own instance. You don’t even have to use it primarily, just get it federating your comments.

            Self-hosting is a pain in the ass, and I do not have the time and dedication for it, as someone who has 100 other things in life. I am no longer even a terminally online person, I just come here to check on the state of Lemmy, put on some helpful comments, moderate privacy and technology communities, and go back to real world after dedicating 15-30 minutes a day to Lemmy.

        I see, they have started pulling this shit. Probably a good idea to disable third party scripts with uBlock Origin’s medium mode. Atleast that way they will not be able to run their malware JS.

        I use hard mode generally, but that sounds like a good reason for people using uBO easy mode to level up.
