"Welcome to the State of Denial. You've arrived in an alternative reality where terrorists have become heroes valiantly battling oppressors, genocidal slogans are triumphant calls for freedom, and the natural response to a terror group that slaughtered 1,200 people and took another 250 hostages is to offer them a state."
Always remember, we are all entitled to our own opinions and we all get to choose what we use as far as software, hardware or anything else in this world. Just because YOU don't like something doesn't mean everyone else should not like it as well.
If you continually try and shove your opinion down my throat and try to force me to change what I use, I will simply block you and move on.
It's not appropriate, nor is it wanted or needed. It's actually quite DISRESPECTFUL!
Friend: Do you listen to (NAME) podcast?
Me: No, I...
Friend: Oh, you may like it (proceeds to describe podcast)
Me: Uhm, I don't listen to podcasts. Podcasts are basically talk radio for Millennials and I can't get into talk radio.
Friend: Oh

If you're just joining fediverse welcome to Mastodon. Cat is not happy about all this work even on caturday. Why?
I had to mute over 200 posts in the last 30 minutes or so. Cleaning up the feeds so you can get to a few good posts will take lots of effort because there's no algorithm

My first #opinion piece! I am proud to see it @ Harlem's own #NewYork Amsterdam #news
"The #dehumanization of the Haitian ppl & their culture is not new, despite being the only nation in the #African diaspora that has the distinct #history of successfully revolting against [transatlantic] #slavery & claiming its independence in the 19th century. The targeting of marginalized ppl & #communities of color takes form in the weaponization of #racial bias, fear, & hate...”
I get that we as humans all have a right to an opinion. In fact, I personally respect that we all have a right to an opinion.
But please, do NOT try and shove your opinion down someone else's throat and tell them that if their opinion doesn't match your opinion, then they are wrong and they need to think about changing that opinion.
That's NOT how this world works and it's certainly not how it's going to work with me or anything I'm associated with!
"So, before I could let myself hesitate again, my finger firmly pressed down on the TikTok app, my eyes reluctantly watching the app tremble in fear as I delivered its demise. “Delete TikTok?” my screen asked, urging me to grant it another chance. By then, I had already cemented my decision."
Why do we still stick to the paradigm of #opinion sections being required components of #news organizations?
Back when newspapers were shared communal media that everyone read, it made sense to have comics and crosswords and opinion sections for those who were uninterested in the news.
But nowadays? How is it not just constantly detracting from their core business model? Why do we continue this nonsense?

Newsfeed is a dark pattern causing fatigue, depression, FOMO, never ending consumption of content
Notifications are a dark pattern of stealing our attention
