Oh yeah, im no stranger to blocking users and entire communities on this platform….there’s just usually the initial wave of whatever the new spam is until i can get my feed cleaned up again.

There’s been a recent flood of it here, though. A new (i think) page titled ‘gifs’ started flooding my All feed and pretty much every post is a “watch till the end” for a 10sec clip…🙄

Yes, but more often than normal this time of year. Our current house doesn’t have a fireplace, so I’ll put on some fireplace loop video on the TV and use Sonos (through the TV audio system) for the music. Sonos is already our main source for any music in the house and not all fireplace videos have decent music, or at least whatever music we might want at the time.

When I used to play MMOs I did this fairly often as well during the grind. Wouldn’t really need the game audio, so I’d just pipe something else in.

Isn’t voting open for much longer than 1 day? Polls are already open…and so is early voting and mail-in ballots, etc. Election Day is just like the last day when (allegedly) the winner is decided. Not really a point for a full-on, everything closed type holiday, or even a “bank holiday” like President’s Day.
