Breathe in for 4, out for 6. Go cuddle with your dog, cat, or neighbor's pet. Ask your pet for permission, let them show you how they prefer interaction, it makes it so much more special.

If someone has access to their Google Admin account, they can turn it off at the top level for all users, under Admin ==> Generative AI category (I just did). This is for those of us who purchase various Google Business Suite tools. For the free google email accounts we don't have access to this.

Two little white dogs outside on the grass. They are looking up expectantly as if about to get treats. One has a brown collar and blue eyes. The other has a red collar and you can only just see one eye because of the angle. They are both very hopeful!

8. Plus, if you haven't figured it out yet - you can't edit a post/reply nor delete (yet). So, plan ahead externally, and I've seen numbering the posts to convey an order really helps, if it's all one thought string.

6. Accounts who have created lists you can review and use to block (I’m sure there are others, I haven’t found them yet, and I haven’t needed to locate others so far):

5. There are others who have already created, and maintain, lists you may want to block en-mass. How to use these lists to block:
1. Select / View the list
2. Tap 'Subscribe' on the top right
3. Choose 'Block' or 'Mute' to add the whole list (+ any future adds)

4. You can find the lists you have blocked in the future: Settings ⇒ Moderation ⇒ Moderation Lists (same area as muted words & tags, muted accounts and blocked accounts)

3. There are some categories of accounts you may want to block so you don’t hear from them - porn, bots, scams, etc. - using these lists that others have made to block them actually works

2. When you start to follow others, especially those with many other followers, accounts will start to find you (remember everything is public here, as of right now) - you can block them individually

I'm so happy to see so many of our industry here! Here's some info for those new to this environment (I'm only a couple of weeks old) -

Hello over here, I'm looking forward to recreating the wonderful network within the Animal Behavior Industry I'm losing on one of the other sites. I'm so glad a few of you are already here! Stay safe, physically and mentally!
