Separete Social Networks list

[BillTsigkas]

Is there a plan for separating social networks list so the users will be able to choose which social networks want to block? For example separate lists for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, Snapchat, etc. Also a separate list to block messengers?
Thanks in advance.

It doesn't make any sense to make entirely new blocklist for each social media site as they would contain barely few rules.

You can always subscribe to Social Networks blocklist and simply add domains of social media sites that you want to allow into exceptions.

The problem is that the list of social networks is huge and contains all the social media even Discord.
You have to unblock almost ~10 domains just for Reddit, another ~10 domains for Discord to work properly, including streaming etc... And the list go on if you want to unblock for example Snapchat or Twitter but you want to keep Facebook-Instagram-TikTok blocked.
I think they are better off being separate, especially some of the big platforms. Obviously that's more work too... Anyway, I just put an idea on the table.

I'm sorry but I still can't see the problem. Even if the list contained 100 domains, you can always copy/paste domains you want unblocked from Hagezi's blocklist to your own allowlist file and post it on GitHub, Pastebin or somewhere else. Then, just simply add the URL of your allowlist to the ad blocker of choice and voilà... you have excluded all of desired domains from blocking; without having to copy/paste each domain one-by-one in the ad blocker.
