Pihole is awesome! I bought a pi specifically for that, and for lite desktop duty (4GB Pi 4B). In the past 24h, 20% of DNS queries have been discarded on my home network, and nothing that I wanted to see has been blocked. Sometimes it's as high as 40%!
Bonus of pihole is cloudflared which facilitates DOH functionality. There's a diy in the pihole documentation.
If you do get pihole, be sure to add the https://dbl.oisd.nl/ adlist - it has over 1mil domains.
Back on topic... I used to have Facebook and insta for my old business as well as personal ise, but when I left that I treated myself to deleting all social accounts. I miss connecting with some old friends on fb a bit, but overall I have no need for it in my life. I know a handful of people whose lives/marriages are actually being affected negatively by getting caught up in the wrong feedback loop on fb...it's not good; it preys on the weak, as an unfortunate (but very effective!) side effect of content curation.
