Personal Pledge to Keep Mastodon Not Shitty.

1. Post no distractions. Our time is so short, and so much to do. Each thing I write should aim to make others better off.

2. Ignore shock and flash. Support quiet voices of value. Don't reward outrageous, it breeds more outrage.

3. Reply for the better. Don't pander. Don't doggie-pile on dissenters.

4. Assume humanity, prepare for trolls. I might not see the harm I do. Others don't see how they are perceived. Remain aware of others' intentions.

Let me reiterate this more clearly:

Firefox opted users into sending all of their browsing history to a third party for the purpose of targeted advertising.

After my post on reasons to remove Google Analytics, I got several questions on how that may affect search rankings and traffic a website gets from Google.

In other words, people are wondering if Google uses Google Analytics data for the search results? https://plausible.io/blog/google-analytics-seo

This is a regular reminder to help maintain better #privacy and data #security:

- Keep bluetooth disabled in public
- Disable location services after needing
- Stay away from untrusted wi-fi
- Avoid un-encrypted texting
- Do not use personal info to name your wi-fi, phone & computer
- Use apps, services and browsers that you trust more
