This is something that I would like to do. Do you have resources you could share that could help me? Specifically interested in how to find the list of all FB domains that need blocking

I've setup a DigitalOcean instance of PiHole [1] VPN where I have added all the Facebook domains[2] and other add blockers. This helps me block these domains on all my devices including the phone. I don't see any ads in any apps.

I also use this list to temporarily add HN when I want to focus. This setup works well for me.

Some of my family members and friends use WhatsApp and that's something I regret (tiny bit) not using. But I don't miss Facebook, Instagram, etc. at all.
