Life is too short to deal with rude people on Mastodon. The mute and block features are there for a reason. 😉

MASTODON TIP OF THE DAY: Learn how to use the bookmark feature in whatever Mastodon client you use, and use it *IMMEDIATELY*, whenever you find something that you suspect you might want to refer back to later! (You can always prune back later on, when you have more time to review bookmarked items.) In the Mastodon web client, it's the bookmark icon:

@JamesGleick Preach! And I’ve set up a new Mastodon filter for CNN, to go with the one I already had for Fox News.

@christianselig Oh, and we *WILL* keep going. I left the facesite after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, and I left the birdsite after Apartheid Clyde took over. The enshittification of corporate-run social media is already well underway, and next to be tossed into the dumpster is Reddit. I am *DONE* with Reddit when Apollo shuts down, and I know I am not the only one. My past experiences will inform how I look at and use any social media from now on. Seeds have been planted, and will take root!

Google’s widely-opposed ad platform, the “Privacy Sandbox,” has launched in Chrome, directly tracking users based on their browsing habits to sell to advertisers. *It is turned ON by default, and you have to explicitly opt out.*If you still use Chrome, to disable Google's "advanced" ad tracking, go to Settings>Privacy and Security>Ad Privacy, then disable all three options there (Ad Topics, Site-suggested Ads, and Ad Measurement).

Just a reminder that corporate-run, algorithm-driven social media (TikTok, Xitter, etc.) is now full of harrowing videos from the Israel-Hamas war. If you're an adult, then it's your choice to watch, but you might want to consider removing such apps from your children's phones. Apparently, a message was sent out to all Israeli parents from their children's schools, suggesting that they remove social media apps from their children's phones to avoid seeing such videos. #Israel #Hamas #Gaza

I’m probably going to be staying off social media and the news media for the next few days. I haven’t seen any pictures or videos, but even just READING about it in the news and on Reddit is absolutely soul destroying. Thank God I gave up Facebook, Xitter, and Instagram several years ago! #Israel #Hamas #GazaI’ll spend the rest of my day in Second Life, deliberately escaping from harsh, brutal, demented, subhuman reality, and trying to protect what’s left of my mental and emotional health.

Quote from r/WorldNews: “There’s a lot of extremely disturbing videos and images being shared around right now…You can be just as informed and aware of the situation without viewing this stuff, and watching it will only cause real trauma for yourself. Even investigatory journalists use post-it notes to cover disturbing details when analysing these videos.Be mindful of your mental health and take breaks from this endless depressing news cycle too.”More information: https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/2022/11/23/how-to-maintain-mental-hygiene-as-an-open-source-researcher/

Today has been a rough day for a lot of people. Here’s a little palate cleanser from all the doomscrolling (I found this on the r/BravoRealHousewives subreddit):

Manitoba’s top doctor urging everyone to take steps to stay healthy as COVID, flu numbers rise: https://winnipeg.citynews.ca/2023/11/30/covid-flu-numbers-rise/ “We’ve seen a significant drop in the uptick of the new COVID vaccine at this point; about 15 per cent of the eligible population has received the updated COVID vaccine...To help boost immunizations, the province is doing away with the six-month wait between jabs, now recommending a minimum of three months."Get boosted, people! #COVID #Manitoba #COVIDMB
