So here we go again
Some bright-eyed young coder bro is back indexing every post that shows up in his Home feed:
"When your Mastodon Home feed loads new toots, the extension detects that the page content has changed and re-indexes the tab. This means every toot that appears in your browser gets added to your local index automatically."
What if I don't want to be "found" simply because I use a generic hashtag our bright-eyed young coder bro is indexing on a page that uses that hashtag, who I don't Foilow, and who I would otherwise be unknown to?
Famous last story, again
How do I #OptOut
Who do I #Block?
Y'all never seem to understand that not everyone --> wants <-- to be found by some complete stranger
Or do I need to go on #Github and open an Issue?

Today in #OptOut I no longer store contacts with apple nor google.

Your semi annual reminder of how to get rid of JWs when they come knocking on your door.
Tell them a close family member was excommunicated and you and your family was then shunned.
Works like a charm and they will put you on their “do not knock” list.

The fact that the humans care more about daylight savings than saving the lives of the innocent is, to me, completely bonkers.
Daylight savings is an aberration, much like war.
