uBlacklist: block SEO, clickbait garbage from Google search
Shutup.css: blocks comments on all websites; I enable it on websites (such as lemmy) in which the website is dedicated to discussion. This prevents me from seeing stupid MSN like comments.
AdBlock: Blocking ads. They are slow, they are annoying, they follow you and I hate them.
Privacy.com cards: Lets me lock a card and certain amount to a website I may or may not trust, and prevents them from charging more than I state. Has been VERY useful for Amazon Eero in which they keep auto subscribing me to eero Plus and “don’t know what happened on their end”.
This is more so related to Xbox, but:
Filtering all messages from people who aren’t my friends into a separate inbox that doesn’t notify me. Blocking party invites from people who aren’t my Xbox friends (prevents assholes in Overwatch from DDoS).
-Improve moderation of major social sites with more penalties for harassment. I feel like the lack of proper moderation has encouraged people to be needlessly mean over petty nonsense and sometimes even ruin lives.
-Add more privacy protections
-Force websites that allow both minors and 18+ content to have NSFW filters in place by default for anyone under 18 (looking at you Twitter)
-Getting rid of intrusive ads
-Have websites show posts in order, unless it’s something like Lemmy or Reddit where the other options at least make sense
-Websites should be given legal repercussions in knowingly spreading dangerous conspiracies (such as Facebook doing nothing about posts encouraging violence against a minority group in Myanmar eventually leading to genocide)
Stop feeding off what is given to you and look for and search for quality, informative, objective content that is not manipulated to play with you emotions.
The internet is many things other than just a place to waste away your time, energy and awareness of the world.

One thing I’ve started doing more than ever is blocking a ton of people. For example if I see someone making a post about twitter/elon/trump etc. I go to their profile and see if it’s just one time occurance or a patter and in the latter case I block them. If I see someone posting fuck this and fuck that and I hope this person dies etc. I block them without even viewing their post history.
There’s just so many users on a platform like this that I simply can’t pay attention to everything so by blocking the people commenting in bad faith is the least I can do. Some might say I’m creating an echo chamber and maybe so but this really isn’t about wether I agree with them or not but wether your comments bring any value to the conversations.
Over the long term this really does help keep your browsing experience enjoyable and your mind optimistic. Its way to common to get depressed from constantly seeing a torrent of bad news and negative posting.
Once in a while i dont respond to stupid comments…
Before engaging in a conversation i try to remind myself of the wisest words i know
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=rph_1DODXDU
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Excellent bot.
Force all social media to become non-profits.
Or just force any software to be Open Source, so you can see they are not doing anything bad with your data and all the community could improve things.

- Report spam, scam, racism, hostility and clickbait
- Don’t engage trolls
- Don’t answer questions I’m not sure I have the correct answer for (or else point out that I’m just giving a “best guess” response)
- Try to be neutral or positive/affirming in replies. If I can’t, I’d rather not reply at all.
Use all Open Source and community driven! And never register on any Social Network platform that isn’t open source and decentralized.

Radical optimism. Hell yeah! Basically anti-doomerism.
When I see people going through something that resonates with me I acknowledge that its hard and encourage them to keep trying and that they will make it to the otherside.

Good job, that can’t have been easy 👍
When some nihilistic edgelord cares too much about others caring about something and screeches “WHO CARES?” or “NO ONE CARES”
thought-terminating cliches to try to shut discussion down, I voluntarily say “I care” and that often shuts them up and whatever was being cared about usually continues.It’s a small thing, but I think it makes a local difference.
