Or just redirect facebook to hackernews via your hosts file? I can't emphasize enough how beneficial it has been to stop using facebook completely, I would highly recommend you try it.
I'm confused as to why someone would want this instead of just going to HN directly? If you don't like Facebook, don't use it. :-/
Why do you need Greasemonkey for this?
You don't actually need Greasemonkey. These scripts are browser-agnostic, so if you use Chrome, you can just install this as a Chrome extension. If you don't use Chrome, you can install this on Firefox using Greasemonkey.

I think the point of this extension is for people who need to access facebook features like groups and events, but don't want to get distracted by the dopamine-inducing newsfeed on the way
It's been more like cancer-inducing with all of the political talk these days.

I've always used an extension to completely block the news feed (like [0]) and I've found it to be an excellent deterrant to using facebook in general. Generally now I use messenger.com when I have to but otherwise completely avoid the site. Although HN has now pretty much replaced facebook as my go-to site when I open a browser, so I'm not sure how useful it is after all. At least it's domain-specific and less psych…
I went cold turkey and closed my fb account. Feeling a little bit of abstinence, but I think I'm replacing it with more activity here and instead of opening fb on my phone, I open an ebook reader, so it's good so far.
In a perfect world, I'd have only the functionality that those two provide, perhaps with some sort of static profile.

One word: Addiction Facebook events are invaluable to my life these days, but the news feed is an addiction that I've been fighting since university. If only I could be %100 dedicated to all resolutions without any effort then I wouldn't need any tricks like this. Plus this is just meant to be silly. I should really just blank out the news feed like someone else suggested.
But you realize, that reading hacker news is, an addiction on its own? ;)
Edit: doing the trick like this, injecting HN into FB feels like injecting coffee into your veins - I don't think it will give you the effect you're after.
I expected something more creative, replacing posts with my friends, like my grandmother sharing why React is awesome and my primary school friends discussing how did they go microservices.

I've been off facebook for a month now and I really really miss pages of some artists and groups for abstract art. I was seriously getting into asemic writing at the same time I was trying to kick the habit of typing out whatever bullshit ideas about politics were in my mind. Aaaand I chose the latter. :-(
If you really miss those, you can write a bot that logs in a dummy account and scraps the content and emails it to you. Makes for a cool weekend project.

If that's the intention I would recommend this Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/news-feed-eradicat...
