Blocked Facebook, instagram, WhatsApp and Meta on DNS. One day I checked the logs and saw Facebook so I started investigating and turns out many apps have trackers in it like Spotify host Facebook trackers. Blocked Spotify now.
Sort of tangentially related to this… Today I was telling my mom about something I bought and I mentioned the brand + a general description of the item. About an hour later, she showed me a screenshot of her Facebook feed with an ad for the exact brand and item even though she didn’t google it, etc. Makes me so uncomfortable. I’d feel a lot better if I knew specifically how they were getting the data so I could try to block it.
Atleast she noticed so it’s good. Most people dont even notice stuff like this. The only way to stop this is to stop using Facebook but boomers are the only one stuck on Facebook now because of some BS neighborhood watch community or something similar.
How do you replace Spotify
I downloaded musify from Fdroid. Its not the greatest app out there but gets the job done and I am happy with it.
Ah yeah, I’m on iOS so I think I’m screwed

If you own your music, I like Musicolet for playing music. Not sure if on iOS though.
Lol thats okay. We all getting screwed one way or another and Yea I dont even trust iOS. Theres a huge divide among regulars between iOS and Android. I dont understand why they start a whole debate on how one OS is better than another 🤦♂️ Regulars need to understand they will always be on the losing end especially 9-5s.
Absolutely. What’s keeping you from using both? I use everyone of them and I don’t get this whole fan base divide.
