I deleted Meta's products in 2009. I have never looked back. Explore alternatives and motivate others to do so.

You can block all their content, just delete your account.

I deleted all my meta accounts a couple years ago (Facebook, Instagram). When I did it I was afraid I would miss out.

Nope: 5 years after I feel good about not being a dopamine-addicted sheep (At least to Meta). It makes me sick to my stomach whenever I go to a public place and see so many people mindlessly losing their life watching reels and stories full of ads. I Used to take the Caltrain and I estimate >50% of the people were mindlessly scrolling instagram during the 1 hour train ride.

The best time to delete * Meta was yesterday. The next best time is Today.

(To be honest I recreated a bogus account to sell things on MarketPlace and I cannot believe the amount of crap constantly pushed to me)

I tried threads but had to leave it so quickly. All the posts I see are just baits, people trying to say controversial/stupid things just to seek attention and reaction. I don't know much about social media algorithms, but if the result is that I'm constantly fed with things I don't want to see, maybe it's not the platform I want to be in.

You can block Meta surprisingly: just never join or close the current account.

you cant block the AI, but if you start hatebanging it, i assume it will block you.

It's only fair since I can't block their AI on WhatsApp either.

Facebook's whole implementation of tagging is a disaster. What do I gain by seeing you tag someone (or worse, a bot) in a post? Just share it with them privately.

It seems like it's constant provocative news every time Meta hits the Front page. Lol

One nice thing I heard about recently is you can block the Claude user on Github to create nice yellow banner on vibey repos. It doesn't stop you interacting with the repo if you want to anyway, but has still ended up being a very quick filter for me.
