This is something that I would like to do. Do you have resources you could share that could help me? Specifically interested in how to find the list of all FB domains that need blocking
2 comments

I've setup a DigitalOcean instance of PiHole [1] VPN where I have added all the Facebook domains[2] and other add blockers. This helps me block these domains on all my devices including the phone. I don't see any ads in any apps.

I also use this list to temporarily add HN when I want to focus. This setup works well for me.

Some of my family members and friends use WhatsApp and that's something I regret (tiny bit) not using. But I don't miss Facebook, Instagram, etc. at all.
