The #FediverseChick finally found me. Already had #fomo!

#Mastodon should implement better content based spam filtering tools.
These DM attacks could easily be filtered out for the whole instance, or even the entire fediverse.

Do you have a case of #FOMO? We can change that! Register for the 37th Annual FIRST Conference today https://go.first.org/hvJUY

#FOMO is less about missing fun events and more about missing the opportunity to emotionally connect with people.

But reflecting on past positive social interactions can help alleviate that feeling of missing out, according to marketing professors and social psychologists https://buff.ly/5hP0mvo

Feeling #FOMO for something that’s not even #fun? It’s not the event you’re missing, it’s the bonding

Ignoring the FOMO hysteria regarding Serum 2 by realising I have more synths (and literally thousands of presets for each) than I can handle already, where the most noteworthy ones (Vital, Surge XT and Pigments, but also a handful more) each can do more things than I understand to program in any case.

On top of that I obviously also have the Syntorial courses stuff that I should chip through. When I know those things perhaps Serum 2 makes sense for me. There. I just saved €189.

A lot of what people are calling #FOMO is actually something else.

When you go to bed and within 5 seconds of not falling asleep you grab your phone for some light entertainment, thats not fear of missing out!

Its FOT - fear of thinking.

You fear that thinking will make you feel sad about the world and your part in it.

#mindfulness doesn't teach you to stop thinking. It teaches you to stop fearing your thoughts, to stop judging your emotions and to turn your negative feelings into positive actions.
Empowerment is the only antidot for powerlessness.

Miss out on the distractions and concentrate on solutions.

ICYMI, my thoughts on the relentless marketing cycles for fountain pen retailers and how gamification strategies are being used to drive purchasing and engagement:

I apparently had a lot to say on this topic!

Gestern Abend, die Liebste telefoniert.

"Hast du den #WhatsApp Status von *Piiiieeep gesehen?"
"Nee, aber was die auf #Instagram gepostet hat"
"Ah, ja, aber schau mal was für komische Videos die auf #Tiktok postet."
"Tiktok habe ich nicht"

Will sie auch nicht, sagt sie mir.
Noch nicht. (Denke ich)
Hat die Liebste vor ein paar Monaten auch gesagt bevor sie Instagram installiert hat und jetzt ständig durch Videos und Werbung scrollt.

Was will man machen. #Gruppenzwang und #Fomo

How do you get to be like that?
What's he say, while fussing w/ that boa? "keep the people honest?

Everybody's got their own problems of course, but Jimi Hendrix seems to be-- from a fan's perspective-- one of the coolest people to walk the planet in the last 200 years or so.

We've had films about Richie Valens and Plane Crash people. What else?
Man, where's the Hendrix film?
There's a big story there about his life, tour of duty, etc, artists he performed with before and after the Jimi Hendrix Experience. His relationship with Janis Joplin. I mean there's a HUGE chunk of juicy story that it seems like we've all been missing-out on.
I'm all #FOMO myself to death here now!

Probably the family hodling on to it/ legal concerns. I think there's always been issues there. Anyone?
