Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

This is good advice, and I am doing that. I have 2 air filters I run all the time, one of them is a HEPA that was gifted to me long before all this started. I also keep windows open and basic fans placed to try to displace as much inside air with outside air as I can. It does make a difference.

Would a mask help during the damper months?
Or would it be counterproductive if it ends up capturing it on mask? I have no experience in this, but during the post-covid time, by wearing a mask(even a cloth one) I noticed a lot of the stuff that's in our air, from vehicle smoke to dust from construction work.

Have you talked about this on Chapo or Asklemmy? Maybe you can get some ideas and then look into experts on it?

Have heard about reddit threads suggesting solutions for issues and I do think it's mostly hopium and copium, but using it as a starting point rather than pro advice maybe ok?
