I'm cutting FB and IG entirely, is there a way to see content there without an account? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Word has it that face scanning will soon be necessary to do anything at all on FB and IG (including deleting your account) so I'm in the process of taking care of that business now and trying to encourage the few friends I'm still in touch with to do the same.

Unfortunately, without an account you can't access content, and there are still numerous local businesses and organizations posting at FB and IG and I can't really expect that to change anytime soon. But it would definitely help sell the idea of giving them up if I can offer another way of seeing posts on those sites.

With IG, there is https://imginn.com/ which I've been using for a time, it seems to work well enough to show an account's IG posts.

What I really need is something like that for FB. I don't really need to see posts from individual accounts as I don't even think my friends post on FB anymore; I really just want to be able to see "Liked Pages" as those are often regional businesses and communities. Being able to see groups would also be helpful but those often require special permission even when you do have an FB account so I don't expect much there.

Thanx

Leaving Facebook is more than just not using a website. Facebook is more than a website and leaving it is leaving the entire culture it has captured, so that our energies are spent building the culture that remains uncaptured instead of contributing to the captured culture. It's a big fucking deal that affects every aspect of your life in modern society.

Lmao no it isn't. I deleted my Facebook and blocked all their CDNs at the dns level more or less on a whim and it's had literally no impact on my life since (aside from the obvious boon of not being subjected to that garbage platform.)

You're just projecting your own dependency onto others, when in reality it really is as simple as just not going there anymore.
