Really not working today - several filters #58

Closed we9v closed 4 months ago

we9v commented 4 months ago

Not sure if FB really changed something, but I'm getting a lot of things coming through today. Prior to today, several things came through previous to today, but they didn't say Suggested or Follow, so I tried using the max likes, and that didn't work either prior to today. Today, many things seem to be not working.

Suggested:

Follow and max likes not working:

I'm also seeing the "1 post hidden. Rule: xxx" appearing then disappearing then reappearing then disappearing (repeatedly) causing the feed below it to move up in position, then down in position, making the posts difficult to read. I tried to change to "no message" but have the problem that someone else reported ( #57 ) that this option completely crashes the FB feed (which will be fixed in an upcoming release.)

Clean my feeds: 4.28 Tampermonkey 5.0.1 Windows, Chrome. Closed and restarted Chrome, same effect.

Captured the disappearing/reappearing "1 post hidden".

Simultaneously, two significant events occurred: 1) Facebook modified their News Feed algorithm. 2) Adblockers implemented alterations to their filters.

Temporary hotfix available: https://github.com/zbluebugz/facebook-clean-my-feeds/blob/main/beta/archive/beta-4-29-01.user.js

(You need to disable v4.28)

Significant improvement. Thank you for your work/efforts.

Comments:

Setting is for "7 posts hidden", but no messages are showing at all.
Changed to "1 post hidden. Rule:" and no messages either.
One unwanted post came through, but it has no indication of Suggested, Follow, etc. to filter on. One out of many is great.

Thanks for your feedback.

Regarding the v4.29-beta-01 release:

The 'message info tab (# of hidden posts)' component within the News Feed has been disabled due to conflicts with Facebook, Adblockers, and 'fb-cmf.' This component requires rewriting.
Managing unwanted posts has proven challenging, as 'fb-cmf' does not automatically hide them (unless specific keywords are added to the text-filter's list). I do not have a fix for this particular issue.

@zbluebugz,

I thank you for the effort and work you put into this remarkable script, because I found it very useful to write down keywords in the text boxes that hide the unwanted posts containing the keywords I wrote down. Here it is very important to note that it is mandatory to export your saved personal settings, because it is possible that for some reason you will later be angry with yourself if something happens, because everyone's personal settings are individual. :}

@Rusenche - Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, the Export / Import facility is useful in many scenarios - saved my "bacon" many times!

v4.29 has been released.

Available from: Github and Greasy Fork
News Feed's message/notification tab has been disabled. Need more time to fix this particular functionality/component.
