On Facebook/my SOME policy
My wellbeing is more imporant than whatever you do at SOME and I reserve the right to ignore you.
I have had my Facebook deactivated for 24 days. However I have started missing events (as you must be at Facebook to know what is happening) and Nearby friends (good luck getting people to other solutions).
During this time I have been mainly at Twitter and Google+ and in the later I especially like the collections feature which allows me to specify which larger subject my message is related to. I think I will continue using them primarily (even if I should use Diaspora*).
I originally left Facebook as it was taking too much of my time in form of idle newsfeed reading and notifications (which I gathered too much from all kinds of groups and people I know IRL (in real life) and I just don’t like them.
Now I am returning after I have writing this and as I said on top, I am going to clear notifications aggressively and I will be ignoring you unless there is an emergency in which case you should send me a message and I might take a look at whatever it is. It might mean not reading your posts or newsfeed or replying or even liking your comments, as I care more about my wellbeing than whatever noise you cause burneding me.
Am I selfish? Note that I am not even obligated to write this post, I just felt like writing this.
Privacy Badger will take care of third-party tracking the best, but hiding this message takes a more targeted filter such as uBlock Origin (for Firefox) or uBlock Origin Lite (for everything else).
Additionally considering adblocking DNS services such as DNS4EU Protective Resolution With Ad blocking or public AdGuard DNS may be a good idea to clean up your modern internet.

PS. I am not sorry if this cosmetic filtering targeting script doesn't detect your protection, because this message brings me too many amused messages and smiles for that (and thus this message is here to stay) 🐾
