Hello, bon jour Coralie!

This was a thread that started 3 weeks ago, and I can see all of the posts above, they include your attribution too (as they are all responses to your OP).
Thread had been dormant for a while, and you had spent sometime off the fediverse, so that might be the reason for notifications going un-noticed.
Stopping unwanted ones (by muting a topic) seems to be the hard part, as I keep finding out.
It is indeed wonderful to be able to find and converse with people from all over the world, plus the essential services like finances becoming so much easier.
I remember having to go out of the house, mid winter and during a snow fall, to pay some utility bills at a banking machine some blocks away. Now all done easily as soon as they arrive, with the payment date selected as close to their expected dates -- so much easier.
The problem is not the internet per se, but some uses of it which are making so much noise and distraction that even people who are interested readers like us end up feeling our attention span is being affected. And that is quite alarming.
Searched for the book Jon mentioned and can get it from our library, there are other books by the same author with similar topics -- the Amazon page has some suggestions.
