Today I sent emails off to my privacy agencies around my Province, and my MLA’s (Member of the Legislature Assembly) to get elected officials off of US social networks. Suggesting they move to things like Mastodon and PeerTube.
I should also add that I use ad blocking technology (pihole, for most ads. Unwatched for my phone and eventually some Firefox plugin when I get a Linux setup attached to my TV, for youtube.) the ad blocking via pihole started many years ago, but I was just paying the Google for YouTube premium before the boycott started.
I moved my blog from some US Wordpress host to a Canadian host and changed from a .com to a .ca address. I already had great email hygiene so I would get next to no spam, thanks to Apple’s hide my email setup, but that needed to change so I got an unlimitted email package with my blog. Now if I get spam I figure out what address is sending it and close the address easy peasy. I am worthless to the ad market, and it is priceless for my sanity.
