😒 Ah, yes, the New York Times has discovered the secret to eternal happiness: just enable #JavaScript and disable your ad blocker. 🔐 Because who wouldn't want more endless scrolling and infinite pop-ups? 🌀

#SocialNetworks that are fed by an #algorithm are causing much harm to you. Just one example of many: https://karl-voit.at/2024/07/13/social-network-filters/

Please do convince your friends and relatives to try out a healthy alternative like the #Fediverse here: https://karl-voit.at/2024/06/18/Fediverse-and-Mastodon/

When you visit your friends and family, tell them about not having #endlessscrolling or #doomscrolling. Tell them about being able to read unfiltered comments and articles. Tell them about not destroying your mental health all the time, following some #influencers that show a wrong picture of the world and the people.

Accounts on servers like https://graz.social are for free. (Donations welcomed: https://info.graz.social/spenden/ )

Have a happy weekend!

@nicolas_woehrl Danke für die gelegentliche Erwähnung von #Mastodon bei deinem Talk auf der #subscribe11. 🙇

Es braucht wesentlich mehr davon von einflußreichen Leuten wie dir, wenn wir die Leute vermehrt zu nicht-algorithmusgetriebenen sozialen Netzwerken bringen wollen. Das ist IMHO ein wichtiger Baustein gegen #Schwurbel aller Art!

Me: Liked one Barcelona photo because I've been there.

Instagram: HEY! LOOK AT EVERY OTHER EUROPEAN CITY!

A Throwback Thursday (and apparent RIP) to the "You're all caught up" message. Has it disappeared for anyone else? I never reach the end anymore. Hey instagram, what are you doing? If you're trying to drive me away, this is a good start.

#Mastodon #Suggestion How about moving FURTHER away from the standard social media manipulation by ending #EndlessScrolling? Perhaps a profile option to not show Toots for subjects you don't follow? Perhaps a link on the sidebar to show only subjects you follow?
