@schestowitz And I don't know who wrote that article, but Microsoft gives you no coice in accepting their updates. They ram them right down your throat. Hope you didn't have a presentation to do!

This is why I use Linux for my real work. Windows is only used to play games -- the games I can't get to work on Linux!!!

@freemo I thought you were a better man here than you are on Facebook. 😆

„unsolicited usually commercial messages (such as e-mails, text messages, or Internet postings) sent to a large number of recipients or posted in a large number of places"

@freemo It's not that its popular or not. It is whether I want it or not I want it. One man's spam is another man's porn. 😜

@freemo Like I said, now that I know... but it is still spam as far as I'm concerned. It's the sheer volume of it in regards to the other content.

Well, we are obviously not going to agree on this matter.

@freemo The distinction I make: If a website is full of porn, I have to choose to go to that site, and I know what to expect.

But on my live feeds that get overwhelmed with so much porn I can't get to the other posts? That's spam, no matter how you skin that cat!

Now that I know how to filter the crap, it shall no longer be a problem.

@freemo Indeed. But just because one has freedom of speech does not obligate me to hear it!!!!

I always say that with freedom goes responsibility. The two have to be together for everything to work, and to keep mommy governments at bay.

@snow Indeed. I worked for a porn site before in the past, and it can be extremely sleazy. But what I worked for was not spamming everything in carnation at least... well, not too much..... LL

@freemo Both, actually. Yes, someone else explained that to me.

Seriously, if it were one or two a day or so, I would not care... but it's more like one or two a second.... just crazy.

@design_RG excellent suggestion. Thanks.

@snow I don't even know what the point is. Are they trying to sell something?`I don't get it.

Am I the only one getting hit with tons of porn spam? I did a lot of blocking this morning.

I do not wish to consume porn here, or on MeWe, or on Facebook, Twitter, or anywhere else. When I am into porn, I know where to find it and will go looking for it myself.

And if this keeps up, I may wind up leaving Mastodon. Literally, 1 to two PER SECOND? Crowing out the few posts that are far more interesting???????
