Quest 3. How do I get away from fb as much as possible?

Hi, not sure if anyone could see my message because i'm posting from lemmy

I'm thinking about getting a meta quest, but being a huge enemy of fb(sometimes I have fb blocked dns-wide), I don't really want persistence of fb on my quest 3

I hope I explained it well, I just woke up 😅 Thank you

Why exactly are you thinking of getting a Quest?
- Pirating games, AR, experimenting with VR games making,usual stuff 🫡
  
  I don't know about piracy (missed that part in the sub name before commenting) but if you don't want Facebook in your life, why get a Quest rather than any of the other VR devices?
Nope, far too tightly integrated for you.
- I've heard there are some launchers, removing telemetry, why too tightly? 😅
  
  You're not even going to get to the point where you can side load anything without installing their phone app and binding your crap to a Facebook account. Every other firmware update every store purchase it's all tied back to them.
  
  Once you've completely and thoroughly tied it to them You can then go back and throw some sideloading stuff on it, change out the launchers and stuff like that. But every time they change anything you're right back where you were. They're very much trying to make it a wild garden without alienating everyone. Every time the wind changes direction and their project management team, You're going to have to unblock all of your DNS and let the thing call home so you can continue to use it.
