uBlock Origin stops chasing Facebook’s ever-changing ad-blocking tricks (sh.itjust.works)

uBlock Origin maintainers have decided to stop continuously updating filters specifically to keep up with Facebook’s latest ad-blocking countermeasures.

Existing filters will remain, but new Facebook techniques may eventually bypass them. The decision highlights the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between ad blockers and advertising platforms.

Everyone except the large portion of people who don’t use Facebook. There are literally hundreds of other event invitation websites.

That’s fine, but I don’t know of any that meet the requirements

What I see out there seems to fall into:

“party invitation/RSVP” (evite, paperlesspost)
“event ticketing” (eventbrite)
schedule coordination (when2meet, whenisgood, whencanwehang)
business calendar (Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.)

Meetup is close, and discord’s events system is kinda-sorta okay. Those are the best I know of and they’re still not good.
