Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I haven't noticed this, I have noticed ads showing up in Gmail accounts which is very annoying, but what kind of filtering are you talking about, like promotions/social networks or whatever? I made a proton email before they started saying/doing dumb stuff, but that email seems pretty plain still. I really haven't bothered to venture out with email.
Yeah that exactly, where they separate emails into promotional/social/etc. Outlook does this “Focused Inbox” thing that is obnoxious as well and somehow makes even less sense. Lots of users I supported on help desk got confused by it and couldn’t their emails when it was enabled.
I already have a difficult enough of a time with my free email provider misclassifying legitimate emails as spam and letting in actual spam than to have them do this again. I already disabled it and they reenable it on the new redesign.
Ah okay. Yeah that focused thing is able to be turned off by I ignored it at work when we had it. I do know when I would alter spam blocks if an actual email did get blocked that wasn't supposed to for one of the companies I worked out it was 10's of thousands of emails it was stopping, and maybe 2 accidental blocks a month, which was pretty impressive. But that wasn't AI, as that was pre chat gpt and shit.
