  1. 🤦‍♂️ Oh, the classic "set a useragent" plea—because, clearly, the entirety of the internet is knocking down Wikipedia's door to devour their thrilling insights on something nobody's ever heard of. 😂 Maybe next they'll ask us to RSVP before googling. #PeakInternetPoliteness

  5. Hey, maybe don’t be a jerk

    One of the great things about having a blog that has a microscopic audience and that I’m self-publishing (instead of using Facebook or Tumblr or something) is I can look at every single comment someone tries to make and personally approve it before it gets posted. If it’s positive, benign, or even thoughtful but negative, I’ll let it through. But if you just post cranky garbage (like a comment […]

    One of the great things about having a blog that has a microscopic audience and that I’m self-publishing (instead of using Facebook or Tumblr or something) is I can look at every single comment someone tries to make and personally approve it before it gets posted. If it’s positive, benign, or even thoughtful but negative, I’ll let it through. But if you just post cranky garbage (like a comment someone tried to post here today), it’ll go straight to the spam folder and no one will ever see it. No visibility, no response, just a quick trip to nowhere, with the email address marked as spam so I never have to manually filter it again.

    And that’s how the web used to be: lots of sites full of moderated communities that were bound to no rules other than their own. If that sounds nice to you, start a web site! You won’t get that endorphin hit from a bunch of para-social friends clicking a little heart next to your comment, but if you’re lucky you’ll find people who appreciate what you do. And you can filter out jerks!

    Also: I still post elsewhere. I use Tumblr. I’m on Bluesky, and I’m on a Mastodon instance. I’m not saying you should quit posting in larger social media spaces. But it’s mighty refreshing to have a space online that I actually have some control of.

    And if you’re leaving a comment or a post somewhere, try to avoid being a jerk.

  12. Boing Boing: AI note-takers are flooding virtual meetings. “These AI assistants are invading virtual workspaces in such numbers that they sometimes outnumber humans. At a recent Zoom call, content agency owner Clifton Sellers counted ten AI note-takers and just six humans. The bots silently record everything, create transcripts, and summarize meetings for the humans who couldn’t — or […]

  13. 🕯️ Digital Respect Tip: Don’t just protect your data — protect your presence.

    Every click, every reply, every connection… tells a story about you.
    But not every story should be readable.

    📌 Before responding online: — Pause.
    — Check intentions.
    — Answer only what you choose to reveal.

    Silence isn’t weakness.
    It’s control.

  14. Voice notes. Seriously. If I’m not engaged in work with you and actively working on a project that is time sensitive, then don’t, send, me, a, voice, note. It’s only convenient for you. Write it down, so that it takes some time, make an effort, say hi, think a bit about what you want to communicate, and respect that there is a human being on the other end. It’s rude. #voicenotes #onlineetiquette

  20. #OnlineEtiquette: please don’t reply to one of my public sexy posts by sending a private mention. You’re demanding individual attention from me, for free, while not being willing to engage publicly with my work. I need engagement to keep this train rolling. I get that not everyone can publicly engage of course - feel free to enjoy my work privately or support me on Patreon with a pseudonym. But expecting individual, 1-to-1 sexual messages is too much.

  23. 😅 If we had all just told Reply Guys to take a hike from the get-go, maybe we wouldn't be needing these new, controversial features on Mastodon. Sometimes, a simple 'Fuck Off' sets the best boundaries! #MastodonMusings #OnlineEtiquette 🐘💬
