I appreciate your view and I think I probably agree with you. I work a manual labor job and I’m alone most of the time. I listen to many audiobooks on Libby and many podcasts. I’ve noticed over the past several months my thinking getting more muddled, almost like there’s just too much information in my skull. I’ve started to build audio breaks in my week where I go a day or two without consuming anything with earbuds. I feel better. On info diet days my mind wanders, I’m able to think about things more carefully, my workflow is more organized, and I think more about the people in my life.

I held a similar view many years ago, applied to all media and religiously motivated. I believed pleasure was sinful. My views and beliefs have since changed. Why do you make this recommendation?

With all those fluids, do you get up to pee like 19 times throughout the night? I would.

I think changing the verbiage from “server” to “village” or “herd” or “neighborhood,” or just something more familiar to the non-techie, combined with your proposal of displaying a full welcome feed of suggested material would go a long way to improving retention and marketability. Other fediverse portals can learn this lesson too.

I’ve encouraged my teenage children to seek employment outside of the States after college, and even attend college abroad if possible. Since the news information ecosystem is compromised, I have no hope for a future USA that is free and equitable.
