Was just thinking how nice it is to be on social media and not be bombarded with ads!

Its amazing how this is the first site in years that I dont need to install blockers or scroll through bs or be so cynical with what I read.

Fellow Australians, rejoice in this little space we have from corporate bombardment

I get no ads when visiting facebook on a desktop browser. I'm running ublock origin, I also used a tool (which FB promptly cease and desisted) which unfollowed everything I'd ever followed over the years.Then finally a while back I spent a night clicking 'hide ad' on every sponsored post which appeared in my feed.

The combination of those three things has made it FB doesn't show me ads anymore. I just get posts from friends and groups I choose to follow. Kinda like it was in 2007.

I hear you, but with traction comes the corporate interest.

Posts on [email protected] don't count as ads right?

I used a third party app so I haven't noticed so much, but j do like the idea that my lurking is not being watched and sold to some corporate entity.
