From xcancel:

The team behind uAssets, the filter lists used by uBlock Origin, says it will stop fixing ad-blocking issues on Facebook. They say Facebook keeps finding ways around new fixes, making the work increasingly difficult to sustain.

This won’t affect AdGuard’s Facebook filters. We maintain our own rules and will continue updating them.

There’s nothing to celebrate here. It shows how hard it is for small, often volunteer-run teams to keep up with tech giants — and how important their work is for everyone who wants more control over what they see online

uBlock Origin offers some AdGuard rule sets, so I don’t know exactly what this means for existing uBO users.

    Unfortunately it’s literally the only place my local bike shop posts their group ride information.

      Yeah I guess it’s worth it to support the destruction of democracy worldwide if you don’t want to miss a bike ride

        Don’t be a shit. Them using FB to stay connected with their local community is far more effective against fascist, anti-humanity efforts than, say, recycling® ever was. 😅

        I mean, if you’d rather I stop being involved in trying to get cars off the road even if the current solution isn’t perfect, I guess…

      Is there a way around this? Local events near me only post there. Drives me insane and I refuse to get a Facebook account just so I know where the writers group wants to grab coffee.

      An archive work around, some crawler, anything I’m not aware of?
