Unsticker Me – Get rid of Facebook stickers in comments
- ericdykstra 12y agoThis looks pretty useful! Is the source available? If you're looking for recommendations for a next project, how about "unbaby.me" and hide all baby photos from my Facebook feed.
- folz 12y agoMore than happy to open-source it, just give me a minute!
- daturkel 12y agoThat used to exist! And it was even called unbaby.me for a while, then it was called Rather, but now it's gone :( https://twitter.com/GetRather https://twitter.com/GetRather
- ferrari8608 12y agoHaving a sister who quite recently became a mother, I fully support this idea. Every day I get at least one cookie-cutter sleeping baby photo showing up in my feed.
- folz 12y agoBy popular demand, Unsticker Me is open-source at https://github.com/folz/unsticker.me https://github.com/folz/unsticker.me with a link there on the homepage!
- themartorana 12y agoThere have to be 50 lines of supporting metadata for package managers and whatnot per line of actual code. It's not bad, per-se, in fact it's wonderfully complete. None of my projects have the support structure this one does. It's half inspiring, half shaming, and half exhausting. Edit: Oh, thanks for open-sourcing!
- folz 12y agoEh - it was my first time making either a Firefox or Chrome addon, so I just used the existing scaffolding for both. `cfx init` and `yo chrome-extension` might have been overkill but it helped me crank out two extensions in no time flat.
- userbinator 12y agoThe real work is done here, in all of 8 lines of CSS: https://github.com/folz/unsticker.me/blob/master/firefox/data/contentstyles.css https://github.com/folz/unsticker.me/blob/master/firefox/dat... This makes me think all the bloat could be avoided by making this a userstyle (usable via e.g. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ ) instead of an entire addon.
- folz 12y agoTrue, but that cuts the potential user base from {people using either Chrome or Firefox} to {those people, but they also have to have a niche addon already installed}. Also I wasn't sure if I'd need fancy javascript logic or not to get unsticker.me working. I'm just happy it only took those 8 lines of CSS.
- Eiriksmal 12y agoI've tried to get the Chrome extensions Facebook history-deleting tools to work and noticed that Facebook is prone to using generated gibberish instead of actual CSS class names. I wasn't sure if that was simply a part of/side effect of their minifaction process, or if it's intentional. In any case, they seem to periodically change the gibberish class names that the Javascript targets, breaking all the tools that try to simulate user actions on the FB website. Will this extension fall prey to the same fate?

- jmuguy 12y agoI like the "OMG" pack featuring all those internet acronyms the kids are using these days - YOLO, SRSLY, and uh.. SNAFU.
- amjaeger 12y agosome people are just no fun :(
- beedogs 12y agothe people who introduced facebook stickers would fall into that category.
- Larrikin 12y agoAs a Line user, I've found stickers can be more expressive and a lot more fun than text. But there are sticker abusers. What would make this way more useful would be if you could have a blacklist of the sticker abusers
- gambiting 12y agoThere is. There is a large "unfriend" button right there on their profile. Or if you want to remain friends with them, you can always hide their posts if you find them annoying. I really don't understand this whole problem here. I don't believe people have an inherent problem with stickers - only with people that abuse them. But then those are the people you have added to your friend list yourself, they didn't magically appear.
- mattxxx 12y agoright? killjoy city
- vlunkr 12y agoThe author does acknowledge this. :) "Safe and secure way to remove Facebook stickers. If you hate stickers and fun, download this addon."
- andrey-p 12y agoAs a person who killed off his FB account a couple of years ago, my first reaction upon seeing this was "Stickers? Wow, Facebook seems to have gone downhill since I used it." Then I remembered I absolutely LOVED the stickers in Trello Gold.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoTrello stickers don't suck that much compared to Pusheen.
- deanclatworthy 12y agoA warning to OP. Be careful writing chrome extensions that alter Facebook functionality. It's against their ToS. Extension authors have actually had their accounts revoked for producing these.
- driverdan 12y agoIs this really a thing? I've never heard of or seen Facebook stickers before.
- JTon 12y agoMy guess is they haven't taken off in NA/Europe as other parts of the world (most notably Asia Pacific). But they are definitely available. They look like very large emoticons.
- ben336 12y agoThey just became available recently.
- hammock 12y agoSome of my friends use stickers all the time- those of my friends who use facebook messaging a lot. You can even buy expansion sets. I should note these people are all 30-something (you can tell by the fact that they are still using facebook messaging)
- TeMPOraL 12y agoIt's just rolling in. For my account it got activated today. It basically allows you to post stickers from Messenger as comments.
