(NEEDS & OFFERS SYSTEM)... THINGS TO DO... FOR YOU? 

Trusting people to help more than the Trumps of the world?

==================================
LIST TO CONSIDER WRITING
for yourself and others to help:
==================================

NEEDS ➡️ Any personal problems / challenges / 'I could never know how to get to this point?'
(as a need)

People can send offers (things they might do daily anyway!)

OFFERS ➡️ what you like doing daily already and maybe separately what you want to do more of (even if it's a bit far off now - as a dream / low chance of it happening but as "need" you need to keep working on it in doing "something"
(as an offer)

Thanks - this helps see more your side and offer you a checklist as yes / no / maybe on your side after...

================================

SHORT INTRO TO THAT...

AND LONGER IF NOT HAPPY WITH THAT...

("things to do for you" in both meanings of that to do yourself and for others to help with that list which becomes part of the of helping itself for "US" as over more-human people, not just alone in a cold system.

So talking and doing more together IS FEEDING our own "system" and grows as part of sending that to the world / (even if that's just helping good people one-way and not wanting anything back).

Could be like "ok done" !

CONSIDER WRITING A LIST

(optionally more writing below if you don't see why saying and doing things is a better of trust rather than not trusting the Trump(s) out there surely not going to do it! )

================================

LONGER / EXPLAINED MORE:

People often don't get that when I ask what their problems / things-to-do are, because they think it's only their problem and not common relativity / systematic cause / humanistic things systems ignore) AND so whichever way you go or do things you MUST listen to people's things (or do the humanistic things) because the system or or whoever leader IS NOT GOING TO DO IT or listen! (shock horror :blobshock: at ALL the people on these / / etc hashtags / for top leaders to stop extracting / plundering from planet / people).

⛔ Stop that waiting. ⛔
➡️ ✉ Send needs / offers ✉ ⬅️

So either way it's up to us to clean our laundry and even me to clean your boxer shorts! (I mean at least AIM to do something about everything and help ourselves/you/me do it alone after initial spark given at the start or just plain and saying 'done' at the end. It's not for everyone but I'm here for you.

people often don't get this unless it's like installing Linux for people... but it's similar in all parts of life...
So handholding in other ways means "I'm shit at this so feel free to do it for me and I'll see what I can do for others in same way"

style (and developing people not just tech)

I tend only to think in the now and 'me and you' and once I / we find similar I think that is the way. (just two more people honestly is enough... there's plenty <of our own work> to do (not the work of others / bad people).

The whole design of 'giving' anything to people as it is to take more from them in the end and so that's why everything you do away from people will cancel out the benefits or usage (even food) as the level / growth of people stagnate and systems become more killer efficient. It's Mind over Material Matter (we did enough Material and now people 'matter' more).

So lay our you lifetime's worth of 'things to do' and 'shit to fix' and hope someone will come along to fix it :)

And I'm available to fix your stuff or get it done seriously if you think you'll never do it (seriously seriously I can sorting text / files / editing / rearranging / donkey work if it helps get you to step 2 or 10 like a good garage clean out helps sort all other projects after that's done. Put your shame aside, Trump is winning meantime are not made (or even our shit is not done as fast as their actually spelt with two T's in the middle / 3 in total ).

DO IT NOW / ADD THIS TO YOUR LIST OF

Boost / bookmark BUT don't forget (which is why anything now is better than nothing and I'll have a look)

#Advice / #Help wanted about working with people online... 

It seems it largely:

🔴 we can't just team up / invest in each other...
🔴 not even on Fediverse who seems aligned and stand for a lot...

perhaps that above is more a technical thing more than people thing (Mastodon as software, not for actually pushing people together more nicely / helping actively itself.

That's the short version above.

================
The longer points below:
================
Yes - People need time with this 'togetherness' thing just as 'humanity' itself... (it's like if we can do that it doesn't matter what level people are - like dojo we help each other up and see more purely from the interaction observed and copy better)

I get that online isn't easy (and often think fuck only 25years if it!) but is there anything else can I do for you? It's the finding of that answer we solve everything as-we-go or ad-hoc with whoever is passing by (and passing by more often which is the incremental factor to this or any / / thing / )

PSYCHOLOGY WEAKENING?
On a serious note I think people are getting ill deeply / psychologically. Where it's even hard to speak.
Psychosomatic things means disturbances in which emotional maladjustment are almost physically stopping people moving (forward or anywhere)...

The I see is only to get it all out and break through it together as partners (just accepting it all and dealing with it, to actually solve it, not just covering up or ignoring symptoms).

It feels like the more you try, the more people are feeling something which shows something is there living even if it's not ideal at the very beginning - I after wil be fine,.. better communication - otherwise it would be impossible to separate feeling itself any other way and say "RIGHT let's just deal with it as much as we can in 20mins!"

I don't want to conclude people are a complete flop or dud but seems so...

==========================
Anyway give your opinion and any guesses about these thigns...
==========================

1 ➡️ why like-minded people might be exactly the people most skeptical?

(skilled people can be skeptical about everything which is fair)

2 ➡️ Why people won't team up with those similar-minded randomly?
(maybe feel threatened or competitive I guess) or can't go deeper in testing me / people to increment something - but if can't trust from the get go, then how to increase trust?

3 ➡️ why people might not reply or even block me, so even a short or long message doesn't work
(seems technically better people but still dead fish socially ?)

4 ➡️ why he internet is full of pseudonyms and avatars but still today people are feeling something about accounts without name? (seems really similar to passport control where it's name and number or you're a suspect). By nature of internet it's not for everyone to be spreading all their details (especially if anti-system) and social media provides someone's profile to answer a lot of things so why is name so important or why are people happier when I fake it instead of nickname / pseudo-name on mailing lists (admins asked me to do that). Is it all that "fake" is better cover for real life and accepting people's existence?

FINAL NOTE
These things deliberately I know are challenging and 'advanced' - some will just genuinely not remember or lose messages and yes 100 thigns so it could be that = but many seem just not ready for 2-way communication ... and more one-way posting.
Even veterans in the game haven't got down well and are not sucking talent / contributions or involving which after years you'd think they'd perfected by now...

So maybe this is my work to do but it start with you being able to increment more happier / trusting way instead of going backwards...

Feel free to reply and contact me.
Communications seems the core of everything else.

=====================
WHAT WE ALL WANT FROM OF THESE WORDS.... BECAUSE WE'RE HUMAN - I THINK THEREFORE I AM...
=====================

We all want for love / care / respect "or else" the opposites start to occur like cancer (various levels) and things (people) get left neglected and also untrained.

We let the bad in by not doing the good basically as it's a kind of maintenance / repair-as-you go.
NOT just "we wait until it's fully broken!" or when person gets suicidal!)
Just the way things are and how things get without caring and doing the people work in every level of life during everything.

As much as you "don't have time" all these things (or their opposites) do catch up - so this is actually saving your time when you family or project doesn't fall apart!!! The damage is reduced / people don't waste our time later or bad things happen still but not without healthy use of healthy ways and even disconnection can be done better at the end and lessons learned much better ! So to practise talking now (at whatever level) pays off in the end to do more careful work together / constructing something beyond

==========================
CAPITALISM IS BETTER FASTER NO?
=========================
Capitalism also as we have learned CAPITALISM DOESN'T WORK - it does care for what you think or choose - it's mostly authoritarian and profit-minded.

===================
START YOUR OWN SYSTEM
===================
It can mean starting something from this perspective that communication is better - because it's true many people just won't listen - but who is also offering or training people in these things - maybe you with this printed!

Yu literally have to create life yourself if it doesn't exist (on top of existing very pure sources, like I did with this list from the dictionary !!
=============
THE END RESULT?
=============
Once you as individually and family learn to print and share these things (stick on your fridge/door), it's techniques and sentiments can "live on themselves" (in others)...

WHY YOU TEACH ME ANYTHING - YOU'RE PROFILE IS A JOKE!

Love / care / respect is an intentional system, individually carried out for overall humanity - I'm not an NGO or anything big but as a human I stand or good - measurably, words and actions.

This can also start with you and more people taking just 1 picture and having the atmosphere of it reach others (give peaceful words a chance?)... We just needs humans to spread it somewhat and daily conversations get better as and people talk more and pass better words on

Sticking it up somewhere (fridge or wall) as is a good conversation point and piece of interest / meditation / discussion during dinner etc.

=====================
LOVE GOES OUT AND COMES BACK AROUND AND IN.
=====================
💌 Much love goes out to humanity, get in contact if interested... 💌

We know how it feels without love of various kinds (at work, home, outside) - so let's not neglect any of these smaller things - I'm not even talking big "love" / hippyness, but the smaller things and bigger efforts to improve vocabulary and practice it at home / on the internet as group chats etc... all can be a better therapy 💌

====================
WHY THESE WORDS?
====================
"System of Love" is from a list I collected over the years in my own relationships and looked them all up either from my words, partners or observations (everyone in my life!)

Related to love, care and respect needed between people more words are sometimes very crucial in heated battles or complex situations... learn well as it makes for less anger or else all hell breaks loose! 😃

Boost :boost: 🚀 if you would like to see more of these things practised in life.

=====================
ALSO FOR THE SCIENCE TYPES
=====================
and perhaps are not alway emotionally minded or trained so it's also for people who don't' get exposed to why it's important to talk (to human, not just computers!).
Even as a science or biology consider of that mainly starts and ends with emotions (human input output) - check out Bruce Liption!

That goes beyond externally programming machines and more capitalistic styles of hiring people just to get stuff done - because computers and capitalism are without caring mostly and don't ask or design around what people think - it's mostly top-down authoritative (at least in modern day ).

Learning love (or to love others) or even to fight well, isn't exactly what school teaches everyone so we need these kinds of posters and reminders...

Exasperated and disturbed the new IP license in the Mastodon TOS has no termination clause.

mastodon.social/terms-of-servi

Facebook and YouTube have terms saying you can intentionally remove your IP grant by deleting the content. Twitter lets you remove your IP grant by deleting your *accounts*, which is punitive, but possible to exercise (I did). It's very good Mastodon's grant is limited-use—but so was Tumblr, and it eventually abused its. I want Mastodon to be as pro-user as *Facebook and Google*.

@mcc what, if any, instances are out there that have better TOS? I'm with you on deleting my account if there is no way to delete our content

But who are we building it for?

For all who need reliable trustable means of modern private communication.

Greta Thunberg @gretathunberg has been kidnapped by the IDF on international waters! They do not own the Gaza strip by any legal standard, they are not allowed to decide who gets to dock or what they can or cannot bring. They are not the legal representation of Gaza, unless it is run as an open air prison.

The fact that a ship full of humanitarian aid is making the Israeli government go haywire exposes the exact problem. Thank you, Greta and all the other activists ❤️

Systems built upon #exploitation and #oppression of people... 

seem to be built upon and of people.

(taken from quote below - ni.hil.ist/@mu/114626116042263)

GRETA THUNBERG: My message is that right now international law is failing us. International institutions, our governments are failing us. Media, our companies are all failing us. Or “failing us” is a diplomatic way of saying that our system seems to be designed in a way that is built upon exploitation and oppression of people. And so, there’s no one to turn to. There’s no one we can turn to to rescue the situation, but it falls on us to step up, to continue flooding the streets, to continue organizing, boycotting, to speak up on all platforms to try to send a clear message that we will not stand for what is happening right now.

@adanielroth Well, one week ago mastodon.social had a better TOS. I guess we'll have to interrogate individual instances as to whether they intend to adopt Mastodon gGmbH's TOS template or not. Personally if I move I'm probably going self hosting because if I have to change instances once what stops me needing to do it twice? I THOUGHT mastodon.social was the reliable instance!
