    I am however learning a lot about the founding of Western monasticism: Benedict: Rome is on its bullshit, I'm going to this cave to get some alone time and not talk with my mouth full. Fandom: CAN WE COME TOO WE LIKE ALONE TIME ARE THERE FUNKOS

    Terry Jones's Medieval Lives: However, if the work was split up between a few hundred monks, William the Conqueror could have his soul cleansed in 18 years, so he founded a string of abbeys to pray for his soul. P.: MULTITHREADING. EIGHT CORES AND 16 THREADS OF MONKS.

    Okay, never mind -- I figured it out but it's not something honestly worth expounding out loud.

    There is a point to this, I promise. I'll excavate for it while I'm running my errand.

    Things like "virtue signaling" were already this one former friend's jam when I decided I had to walk. The TERF rhetoric and Bernier stuff and "gulags" are...new. When sorrows come, they come not single spies indeed, apparently?

    Some news days I get the urge to check on a few people I've distanced from--people whose views got increasingly dehumanizing & wouldn't hear "not here" or "can we talk about this?", so I had to go. Every time I peek to see if this is their red line, they've...only gotten worse.

    So -- six strategies for now. I can't say they're foolproof or work 100% of the time, but in combination, for me they have been massive stress reducers in terms of handling social media in a way that works *for* me, not *at* me. Godspeed to your clicking fingers, & now I write.

    The other really neat effect of this one is that when you clear out a lot of the things you personally consider noise rather than signal, you find out in whole new dimensions *what* you consider signal. What you care about, what works for you. Which lets you act on that.

    6. Engage more deeply with the things you value. The flip side of culling out space is one can curate positively too: follow or get deeper into things that feed what you're interested in, working on, or care about. Positive cycles really work. They're energizing.

    5. Ask: Does someone else have it covered? If twenty people are already explaining why something is a problem, or addressing an issue, or especially mocking something, your twenty-first contribution is probably not necessary and you can safely use that energy for something else.

    I could get into the theory side of why we feel we *should* (it's about relational models and it's interesting/horrible/enlightening) but upshot is: just because you can see it, doesn't mean it actually belongs to you? That's for good things and disagreements both.

    4. Ask: Am I actually in relationship with this person? This is a good screening question for people Being Wrong on the Internet (tm). Do you have actual relationship with that person? If not, there is no actual bad consequence from not spending your energy on this disagreement.

    (For that last one, we tip a hat to 's TESS OF THE ROAD and the wonderful concept of biting the person you want to bite so you don't get bitey with everyone else.)

    This is, yes, a thing that saves you, the user, effort because it gets you into fewer internet fights about things that weren't actually about what they were about. Online fights cost mental and emotional energy. They are extra homework sans extra credit.

    3. Ask "Who am I talking to? What's my goal?" This is my screening question for being tempted to put upset things on Twitter, where--it won't actually solve the problem, because I'm not talking to people, just about them. Who's the right person? Does this actually fix the issue?

    Not every conversation was actually meant to be had over a global PA system; this is not an act of unlove or rejection. It's just letting other people have their things while you save the cognitive hit point you would have spent on restraining yourself or thinking "god, again?"

    This is extra useful for short-term angry topics. Some things I realize I'm never going to care about forever (recent example: Limbaugh), so I mute 'em forever, but some things I just don't want to see a particular argument around. Those are good candidates for a seven-day mute.

    2. Use Muted Words creatively I think we sometimes consider muting a response, judgment, or aggression, but: it's really useful as a *tool*. Are you never going to care about bananas, but a segment of your follows do? Just mute it. They get their thing, you get yours, no stress.

    1. Do you have an adblocker? I've had one ages; I forget other people don't? But if you're working with limited attention/capacity: no deal is sufficiently good that you can't google one up when you actually *need* things. Propaganda is exhausting. Nothing of value will be lost.

    Okay, that's enough people to consider it worthwhile, and thanks. Obvious disclaimer: These are things I've found to work. Use what you need, ditch what you don't, it's all tools, etc.
