"could a 3rd party have carefully chosen Goldberg - a man balanced between his journalistic integrity and his ineluctable alignment with Israel "

It's a wild rush to a tenuous conspiracy theory that's good for a #Mute and a #Block

How exactly could that "3rd party" have injected Goldberg into any part of the #Trump #Infosec crew's discussions in the first place?

Ah, but wait!

"his ineluctable alignment with Israel"

Now there's a good reason to trump up (pun intended) a vacuous conspiracy

Bye...

For some reason it doesn't get a lot of attention, but there seem to be both a lot of profiles (accounts) that won't allow themselves to be translated, and some entire instances that block translation entierly

I've had it with people posting in some other language and forbidding any translation

Why am I expected to give up my finite screen space to someone I will never be able to read?

I don't

I #Mute and #Block and #DomainBlock if it's the entire instance

Let's list the buzz-words / buzz-phrases

#ContentCreator

#MarketingBackground

#TurnOffYourBrainContent

#Influencers

All "to give people a good enough reason to not go back to the other platforms"

If that's what they're looking for, let 'em go

No great loss

Oh

And I just noticed our bright-eyed young poster's profile name is "@yknotclick"

How cute

From @Mastodon dot Social, but no surprise there

Right now, for some reason, I'm trying to come up with a reason not to just #Mute and #Block and be done with it

#mute : also, produced by complete closure of the mouth organs which interrupt the passage of breath

- French: couper le son, mettre en sourdine

- Italian: muto

- Portuguese: mudo

- Spanish: mudo

New App - Muteem - Global shortcut to mute/unmute Microsoft Teams : r/macapps

Display the Teams call mute and camera status with a small icon in the menu bar. This way, no matter where you are on your Mac, you can always see whether you're on a call and if you're muted or if your camera is enabled.
Register global, customizable shortcuts that will control mute/unmute, camera and background blur during your calls directly in MS Teams. This synchronizes your mute status between the app and Teams, ensuring you never have to worry about your mute status. Additionally, other participants on the call will be able to see whether you're muted or not.

There is both a #Mute and a #Block, thus:

Mute user?

They won't know they've been muted.
They can still see your posts, but you won't see theirs.
You won't see posts that mention them.
They can mention and follow you, but you won't see them.

Block user?

They can see that they're blocked.
They can't see your posts and you won't see theirs.
You won't see posts that mention them.
They can't mention or follow you.

The effect of either on bots is another matter, as is the effect of hashtags on visibility, as is the instance you're on itself
