F.B. Purity mentions (5)

• Who's still on Facebook?

  This browser add-on successfully helps you customize facebook and block some of its annoying features. Meanwhile I use it to keep tabs on friends, family, former colleagues, and others, for "free". It remains useful as a social utility for me. Source: over 1 year ago

• What was your reason for giving up (stop posting) on Facebook?

  Its unpleasantries can be mitigated some with a browser add-on, FBPurity, that lets you selectively hide annoying aspects of their interface (videos, ads not already blocked by a decent ad blocker, games, etc.). That makes it tolerable to keep using. Source: over 1 year ago

• How do I edit my settings to stop seeing people's stories while scrolling through my facebook feed? I want to know how to do it for andriod and PC.

  On the pc, I use fb purity, it has an option to block stories, plus it also blocks sponsored posts, and many other facebook annoyances : https://fbpurity.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• Unfollow Everything developer banned for life from Facebook services for creating plug-in to clean up news feed

  This developer was also harassed by Facebook, with legal threats, etc. You can't even type in "fbpurity.com" in Messenger (try it) it's banned -- among other things they censor. Source: over 2 years ago

• With Facebook down, how will Boomers spend their free time?

• What are you shocked people are still doing nowadays?

  Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp. Source: 5 months ago

• A Practical Guide For Safety And Reporting Crimes For Our Community

  A question I often get is "Well are my text messages safe" The short answer is... Maybe? Depends on what type of phone you use, your carrier, and a bunch of other factors. One way to avoid this is to use an end-to-end encrypted text service like Signal if that is a concern of yours. VERY IMPORTANT NOTES: Telegram and WhatsApp are not secure. The way to think of this security is that if is retained by a server... Source: 6 months ago

• Signal Public Username Testing (Staging Environment)

  The linked page is on signalusers.org, but Signal's regular home site is https://signal.org/. I'm looking all over signal.org for some link from there to signalusers.org, as that would make me more relaxed about the authenticity of the latter -- i.e., that it really is run by the same people who run signal.org. Yes, maybe I'm being paranoid. But we're talking about an app whose whole purpose is secure... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Breaking Global Communication Barriers

  WhatsApp and Signal: Of course I’m going to conclude with the point to point encrypted communication apps Signal and WhatsApp. Most of our clients around the world communicate in these apps more than they make phone calls or send emails.
