@Citizenzibb@fosstodon.org True, and being fructose is a little harder on the liver. I've been getting into understanding nutrition for about a year and it is tough. I like Dr. Peter Attia and the way he digs into topics, but just started reading How Not to Die by Dr. Michael Greger and finding opposing ideas.
@mudgeelight That seems like the sanest way to introduce kids to the benefits of social media while shielding them from the stuff they're not ready for. Sadly, I looked through the user options and that functionality is absent, though it would probably be trivial to implement. Let's both poke around and see what we can come up with this week.
@mudgeelight I'm pretty sure that it is possible to configure a Mastodon instance to be insular. My instance runs on a DigitalOcean droplet that I use for other things as well for $20/month(cheaper exists).
@Rinati That is great news!
I think one of the best ways to work towards more privacy in various areas is simply to ask the people in charge.
Today I got the answer from a request about the app of my health insurance about "Why does it contain Firebase Analytics and Google AdMob?" and "Why does it require Google Play services?". It helps.

@lo You know, I'm usually against the whole, concept of "every mistake you've ever made" being immortal on the internet, but in this case it's not so bad.

@Gina Running with friends makes it better.
So for anyone who wasn't following, Google pressured a bunch of #fediverse app developers to do an impossible thing and in the end they had to delete their app off the Play Store

@emelie Sorry to hear that, you have to learn to laugh at these things to keep from crying.
@lo I didn't hear anything that put her in a bad light, just made her more down to earth. I did like the Christmas stuff she put together, but obviously that is work and a lot of pressure, especially for the White House.

@MisterRogersSnapped Life's about holding on, or being on hold, or something...
