When accepting the Nobel Prize for literature in 1957, a decade after “The Plague” came out, Camus essentially summed up that message, saying, he wanted people to “fashion an art of living in times of catastrophe, to be reborn by fighting openly against the death instinct at work in our society.”

If I post on Facebook I don't want, I don't expect, my post to appear on Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. If I post on Mastodon I don't want my content to go to Kbin, Lemmy, Threads (Meta's decentralized app), or a site/app I never heard of. I don't want my content going someplace that I did not *choose* as a destination.
I've gotten a number of federation fan boys lecturing me that is what the decentralization is all about.
Decentralization has been sold as a protective move against corporate abuse. Preventing another Elon Musk and protecting people from anti-user pro-profit policies.
Mastodon and open source are supposed to be about respecting users.
I think it should be a user's choice where her/his content ends up. I think it should be in their power to make that choice easily without having to rely on the good will of an Instance Admin.
I think each Toot & Reply should have the following visibility options.
1. Public - Everywhere
2. Private ( only @ tagged people )
3. Mastodon ( everywhere on Mastodon, only )
4. Local ( only on the local server of the user )
Plus a Preference for the user to pick his/her default visibility level.

It can be hard to see what would be kind to ourselves. I’m finding it a good question to ask. And the answer is situational. It might mean taking a break but it might mean taking care of what needs to happen. Or maybe admitting that things aren’t as I’d hoped. I feel that asking “what would be kind to myself right now?” is virtually the same as asking, “what would be wise?” Kindness and acceptance of oneself also supports relaxation and therefore gatheredness of mind.
