I had turned targeted ads off, on Facebook and Instagram. I still got ads but they were not targeted based on my data. I could live with that

Today I got a popup requiring me to pick an option of either accepting targeted ads or pay the equivalent of €13/$14 for an addfree experience across all meta platforms.

Option 3 : Delete your FB profile, and live peacefully ever after 😀

The issue is, that Facebook is the main means of communication for family, friends, work and hobbies.

Then it is high time to change this. It won't get any better - it will get worse.

Is the switch to Mastodon a possibility for you?

For me sure, but the people I communicate with, I doubt it. I have transitioned to Lemmy pretty easily from reddit. But Reddit was fairly annonimous. I feel more stuck to Facebook because the iRL people I know are there
