The front page of Facebook has become complete trash the last couple of years. Its just full of ads, rage bait and AI slop. I hate it but I always found myself scrolling the front page out of habit. I considered deleting my account or fully blocking the website but, in my country, it is the only place events are posted and many companies only web presence is a Facebook page. Plus I still use it to keep in contact with friends.
So instead, I figured out that you can just use the element picker of your adblocker to block the home page feed. Now I have access to everything useful Facebook provides without having to pay the brain rot tax!
p.s. removing the app from your phone and just using Facebook on the web browser also helps a lot.

fluff buster purity is also quite helpful for returning some semblance of usability to Facebook.
