@stux buh, buh, buttt my engagement!

How will I get likes now!?

[muhammadfreesoftware@fosstodon.org]

@stux 90% of these posts i see here are about bad news now

OK, maybe noto that much bit you get the point. Somethimes it's about AI, other times about ICE, other times about climate change...

@karafuto @stux

That isnt Mastodon or mstdn.social advertising.

Advertising that FUNDS social bends social toward enshittification.

A user promoting their product doesnt fund mstdn.social, doesnt fund Mastodon. Does not drive Mastodon to.please tech bros, doesnt drive enshittification

User promotion doesnt track you, keep data on you, follow you to other sites.

If you dont like a users promotion (job offer, dog grooming, art, apps) you can mute or block. I would

#mastodon #advertising

No, its news. Truth. If you'd like relief from the drum beat of fascism and climate collapse so you can eat lunch with the kids without feeling like you need to.organize a response, follow the #hashtags #bloomscrolling or #caturday or #threeGoodThings or #space #getFediHired #haiku

If you need help following a hashtag ask me, or later ask the very helpful @FediTips

@stux @karafuto Yeah, the rats usually gnaw their way in, but they get stomped quickly.

@MuhammadFreeSoftware @stux

Yeah, the worlds in pretty bad shape these days, and it leaks in.

Sometimes, when I need a break, I will mute accounts that I generally like but are basting themselves in the bad news, say for 30 days.

You can also block based on keywords. You can then go back and unblock them.

I don't want to shut my eyes to all the bad stuff going on, but we all gotta take care of ourselves. Too much evil news will wreck a person.

Take care!
