Reflections on how all of us need “media firewalls” to protect our minds from polarizing and potentially upsetting information, media messages and gossip all around us.

Digital diet: Jenifer Daniels at TEDxCharlotte

Just FYI if you’re going to continually fill my #Mastodon feed with indignant posts about #Twitter and #Thread and #Bluesky I’ll probably unfollow you. Nothing personal, but this whole billionaire microblogging platform contest is just not interesting any more … the world is full of other amazing news I’d rather be learning about #digitaldiet
Removed the blue bird app, but I don’t recall when I did that. 😂 I suppose it wasn’t much of a loss since I did not look for it until now. 😂 #digitaldiet

I may be unfollowing some people in coming days, and I just want you to know it's not because I don't like your feed, but likely because it's just too distracting from my current focus on things related to #openedtech (@openedtech)

Choosing and adjusting your own #digitaldiet carefully is as important as your food diet.

(On that note, I can also recommend the challenging but rewarding combo of #vegetarian, #keto and intermittent #fasting :P )

I'm trying to implement a digital diet by reducing distracting applications on my desktop and phone.

Does anyone have suggestions for an opensource version of #freedom?
https://freedom.to/

It allows you to block connectivity to certain apps.

@ChrisWere video about De-Googling Android (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c2GTbXYknI) made me think about the daily information overload by following to many accounts/users and having a lot push notifications.
You can call it "digital diet".
So i'm thinking whats important for me, whats helps me in my job and for other parts of my life.

First step: unfollowing unimportant accounts on twitter (moving them to a list).
