How I stay sane on the internet 
Sometimes I do open up filtered posts, but this way I can manually choose to do this based on how emotionally stable I feel at the time

in reply to bazkie, bonkwave superstar • • •echt geniaal die filters hier
ik heb er ook wat websites in gegooid dus elke toet met een link naar die vieze vogelsite of bepaalde nieuwssites worden fijn weggefilterd
toen ik die filters ontdekte wist ik dat ik voorlopig niet van Mastodon weg te slaan zal zijn 😀

En inderdaad Mastodon is de bom! 👍🏼

in reply to bazkie, bonkwave superstar • • •och AI is oké
ik heb alleen 'n intense hekel aan die smerige generatieve AI, maar tegenwoordig lijkt iedereen dat op één grote hoop te gooien
een bayesiaans statistisch model om te kunnen bepalen wat de probabiliteit is dat je een afbeelding niet wilt zien is niet zo'n energie-slurper als die generatieve zooi
(denk ik, die spam-filters in Thunderbird doen zoiets ook al jaren, maar ik heb verder nergens verstand van 😁)

in reply to KnuppelBeer 🐻 • • •dat gezegd hebbende, het lokaal scannen van elke afbeelding in de browser, tikt qua energieverbruik vast weer aan
dus dan zou het op de server éénmaal moeten gebeuren in plaats van honderdduizenden keren op de machines van bezoekers
('t zal wel nooit gebeuren, moeten gewoon snel doorscrollen, maar toch verhoogt de bloeddruk bij sommige afbeeldingen waar je toch eventjes niet omheen kan)

in reply to KnuppelBeer 🐻 • • •@knuppelbeer ja absoluut, maar als je het server-side doet krijg je weer issues met privacy enzo, en nouja, wat je zei over verschillen tussen smaakjes AI is helemaal waar, maar wat je zegt, voor de meeste mensen is het gewoon "allemaal kut", wat meer een emotionele reactie is maar ergens begrijp ik die ook wel.
sta er zelf redelijk ambivalent in, ik vind de technologie gewoon wel heel vet.. vind het vooral jammer dat alle trainingdata in handen is van megacorporaties die het overal vandaan hebben gestolen 😅

in reply to bazkie, bonkwave superstar • • •Oh, and I often hear people saying it's bad to live in a bubble.
I disagree! Here's the thing; back in the day, when internet didn't exist, we all lived in bubbles. It worked just fine.
Of course, not all bubbles are born similarly. If your bubble blocks out logic or facts to protect an opinion based on fantasy, yeah, that's probably not a healthy idea.
But if your bubble blocks out stuff you already know about (people being murdered etc.), or nasty people that would add nothing useful to your life, that's just fine.
Social media, when not properly 'managed' by the user, will feed you an overload of information quickies, many of them unhealthy. Also, it removes you as the arbiter of what you want to focus on - especially on algorithmic platforms that want to steer your feelings and behavior.
I find it troubling that most people (I think) these days are on algorithmic social media, often without keeping their 'social media milieu' in proper shape. We should teach that stuff from elementary schools on.. but of course.. that's not gonna happen 😅

You just didn't hear from the people who didn't make it.

in reply to bazkie, bonkwave superstar • • •You use way more polite words than my filter names 😊.
I fully agree with you about filtering. I know more than enough of what’s going on around many depressing topics which I’m powerless to change…

in reply to Samantha Rose :gi: • • •@samantha haha I'm very puritan 👼🏼
yeah if you can't change a thing anyway, you might as well not think about it too much.. and we hear about important things anyway because you can't really fully evade them!

in reply to stgiga (they/them) :polygender_verify: • • •@stgiga exactly! 🤗
I think it's that psychological thing where people rate bad stuff more important than good stuff (I mean biologically speaking I understand that a nearby tiger should draw more attention than a cutesy hedgehog), so they tend to boost/toot more bad stuff than good stuff?
And part of it is venting, which I'm guilty of as well..
But yeah I wish "trigger"/doom stuff was always CW'd properly.. not everyone does this too well unfortunately!

in reply to Dianora (Diane Bruce) • • •@Dianora ahh right! yes, I missed that too. For example, I block "trump" as a "whole word" but I would also like to filter it in links, where it may be written like url/trump-says-blahblah.html, but right now this kind of thing is hard to do.
Btw I am a nerd too, but I know them as regexps :)
