Users are the biggest weakness of a network / Improving user trust is the #1 solution to large systems of people who fail to share their futures AND are not building trust at all... to really do more than Modern Capitalism
Lately I've had a few good posts about why #systems are failing and missing out the humans themselves. A few post titles are below and short points first.
TLDR:
➡️ User-to-User interaction and progress needed on any network else people stay weak
➡️ personal contact / match-making of some kind needed by individuals and dedicated ppl
➡️ encouraging closer relativity / mutuality and from that projects naturally...
➡️ mutual growing people is essential for wider society, skills and mindset
➡️ not just growing machines!
(that is the way to Matrix!)
Titles and links below:
1 ➡️ #Social systems / #p2p fails when the #users themselves are not regularly doing the #trust work #peertopeer and constructively themselves not building that - just consuming media or just on the #Trump hashtag while leaders steal our #future.
Having "system" is not enough We need people or events to get together others together much like online seminars, circles or conferences help 'push' people together or at least see mutuality more clearly.

2 ➡️ Real work is done ON the users and admin themselves (people change).
It's also NOT about expanding #google on everything or using #BigTech to expand without much mindset change - we need more non-#AWS stuff knowing later that US space is a big #problem / #compromised.
The people-to-people work is doing better stuff than just 'machines' as the main work, coding re-coding the same shit while people stay behind.
Communication daily rather than #massstorage #McDonalds...

3 ➡️ Up to us not waiting for leaders or others forever...
Who's ready to build and build with trust? We need to work with those that can actually start and increase, and respond to reason better. Not waiting for history to repeat itself.
📋 Post: https://qoto.org/@freeschool/113822893619105510
These post are so deliciously close to the Holy Grail of togetherness or solving things... saying what needs doing and growing people is the way forward.
Others growing others mean:
#informal apprenticeship /
#better #examples of each other etc.
But also practically giving ourselves more hints what to do each day or with each other (2 main branches) rather than default "job" and statesmen and middle-people in between who ultimately ruin / misuse it all.
My experience is that even fans or mutual appreciators don't seem to be able to get past a certain level and currently paranoia or "I'm busy" excuses happens (until people see how they can use others) but overall it's about how we all work for each other by building each other up and eventually doing more, especially as all the while communication improves (#1 solution to many things I think).
It's about motivation and enjoyment to from that and then suddenly people are not as busy because they make it part of their life.
As usual I write more which I believe Freemo helps shorten for people.
I see the potential from other admins (who generally are more clever / multi-talented / able to multi-task) and users (who can
rrbe better or are clever in-the-waiting) to not miss the obvious point of social improvement but being / living in more of a two-way action and more 'manually' and deliberately doing it each day - it's not any system
Beyond messaging, Automatic things systems cannot do what human need after ability to contact and see each other's profile and work.
So even if it's looking a 1 profile a week more closely and trying to work with them / help or having a broader spectrum of open-access with other... Then slowly but surely real work (people change) happens.
From #KeyboardWarriors to #Techies to #Carers all people are already doing something we might want to be part of or integrate / bridge together - and as a mix of people we're superior to just floating individual having mostly non-dedicated parts of life and one-way / one-message interaction as a way to get away from outside life that I think all this post helps get better inside and out.
"Improving user-to-user interaction" is the main work.
We can do as a main part of 'working' socially which traditionally isn't what today's #Capitalist "jobs" do..
(because "jobs" are more narrow fields / definitions / contracts of work towards profit mainly and at the cost of everything else almost along the way - including emptying the human they use like a battery at the end).
Deliberately-socially messaging has benefits which I think people themselves/admins are not doing because others are not doing it (and once people do it I believe they will or can be tested!). I believe people love to see progress in themselves and others and doing it gives others the power / potential to help fix things instead of stay victim (which is what you see a lot of posts about, powerless).
Everything in their life can be fixed but has to come from this slowly but surely approach while improving friendship or respect (even from afar, lower level to high and vice-versa).
The people work is social change and like human resources we have it largely unused online as I see it. So while it's not for everyone here
THERE IS PLENTY OF PEOPLE
and from those 'peer-to-peer- type post titles mentioned at the start I'd like to ask #Freemo about this more as I see him as a potential Captain of the football team because basically he's solid enough already which we all need as leader or moderator and so often on the mark.
He has a sense of morality when even if you wouldn't agree you'd thank him for being far clearer, less emotionally capsizing, and more transparent than the other 'leaders' we see currently everywhere.
So #Freemo does seem to do this work often anyway even if it's a small way and I feel people leave better from conversation and do come back again too (supply and demand!...) so why not this as a part-time thing or helping me to do it with his advice?
Points welcome even if it seems too dreamy... it seems totally doable even if slow-burn...
Cheers #Freemo and here's to you in general!
And I know you have #CleverThis - this is not ignoring that, but a I think you also need a non-company version as "Ask Freemo" / "Free School" (#AskFreemo / #FreeSchool) as not everyone likes to play that #state games of first jumping into a company but can contribute or get there eventually from other safer or less embedded ways...
Better than us spending too much time on hashtags watching #musk #trump etc getting sucked into their attention and spreading their shit words instead of good ones...
Ok that's it - just sending for now, with your help will re-edit / shorten if you can guide a bit / re-say it / cut it down (even if not totally doing it now - just helps me find more meaning and people who obvious see other people as the main 'problem' to solve / improve #mutually from fault of bad people but also the good not working on making something for good in *this* people-to-people way...
#Tyranny ? There's a book for that...!

👤 Bertrand Russell TOPIC NOTES...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Russell
1 ➡️ #Authority and the #Individual
His series of six #broadcasts, titled Authority and the Individual, explored themes such as the role of #individual #initiative in the #development of a #community and the role of #state #control in a #progressive #society.
2 ➡️ #Jews / #Jewish People's home
In 1943, Russell expressed support for #Zionism: "I have come gradually to see that, in a dangerous and largely hostile world, it is essential to #Jews to have some country which is theirs, some region where they are not suspected #aliens, some #state which embodies what is distinctive in their #culture"
3 ➡️ #Mathematics
Russell wrote Principia Mathematica, a milestone in the development of classical #logic and a major attempt to reduce the whole of #mathematics to #logic (see #logicism)
4 ➡️ Russell was a #pacifist who championed anti-imperialism and chaired the #India League.
He went to prison for his #pacifism during World War I and initially supported appeasement against Adolf Hitler's #Nazi #Germany, before changing his view in #1943, describing war as a necessary "lesser of two evils".
5 ➡️ Nobel Peace Prices
1950, Russell was awarded the #NobelPrize in #Literature "in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions #humanitarian ideals and #freedom of #thought".
6 ➡️ Supporting himself
Russell supported his family during this time by writing popular books explaining matters of #physics, #ethics, and #education to the #layman.
7 ➡️ Experimental Education School
Russell founded the #experimental Beacon Hill School in 1927. The school was run from a succession of different locations, including its original premises at the Russells' residence, Telegraph House, near #Harting, West #Sussex.
Russells divided their time between #London and #Cornwall, spending summers in #Porthcurno
8 ➡️ #Books
A History of Western Philosophy (1945) became a best-seller and provided Russell with a steady income for the remainder of his life.
9 ➡️ Political causes
Bertrand Russell was opposed to war from a young age; his opposition to World War I was used as grounds for his dismissal from Trinity College at Cambridge. This incident fused two of his controversial causes, as he had failed to be granted fellow status which would have protected him from firing, because he was not willing to either pretend to be a devout Christian, or at least avoid admitting he was agnostic.
He later described the resolution of these issues as essential to freedom of thought and expression, citing the incident in Free Thought and Official #Propaganda, where he explained that the expression of any idea, even the most obviously "bad", must be protected not only from direct #State intervention but also #economic #leveraging and other means of being #silenced...
10 ➡️ Society - Political and social activism
Much of Russell's time was politically active, almost to the end of his life, writing to and exhorting world leaders and lending his name to various causes. He was a prominent campaigner against Western intervention into the Vietnam War in the 1960s, writing essays and books, attending demonstrations, and even organising the Russell Tribunal in 1966 alongside other prominent philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, which fed into his 1967 book War Crimes in Vietnam.
11 ➡️ #Gender
Russell was an active supporter of the Homosexual Law Reform Society, being one of the signatories of A. E. Dyson's 1958 letter to The Times calling for a change in the law regarding male homosexual practices, which were partly legalised in 1967, when Russell was still alive.
12 ➡️ #Israel #Palestinian
Russell expressed sympathy and support for the Palestinian people and was critical of Israel's actions. He wrote in 1960 that, "I think it was a mistake to establish a Jewish State in Palestine, but it would be a still greater mistake to try to get rid of it now that it exists.

Will Power vs. Capitalism
#Will #Power vs. #Capitalism (Modern type)
Is there...
🔴 Lack of 'will' power stops climate action?
AND
🔴 Limits to human cognitive ability exists?
https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=s5sYlB9B7Vc
Not the best short video and misses out individual reduction as part of it but good point that magic new growth in other areas of course isn't going to help (unless really well calculated and not just #greenwashing)
But overall YES I think WILL is major part as it links to ALL OTHER THINGS -
"No Will" = much less "Way"
And the same #demand from business as usual #mentality of people #supporting modern Capitalism will continue... That's maybe the biggest part of it that people look for ways or doing it even by smallest amounts which over millions of people = #change.

Feeding Fear Into The System... only ?
Your #Fear and #Helplessness also encourages more #attacks.
#Leaders, #Bullies and Professional #Bastards see you have no #agency of your own and it helps them refine how to twist the screw harder.
If you're only paying attention to them and not measurably others or 1 other #likeminded person, then they have won your #attention.
They have won your attention and stolen / occupied your time also from others that could use your attention to actually #build something continually more than a continual #shitshow.
Namely "better relationships" or just better #minigames between us - that is what we are missing and potentially upgrading as our own 'products', so we are the wiser and also so we personally don't end up BECOMING the next #Musk #Trump #Bezos #Zuckerberg #Clinton or whatever in our own lives.
Processing the previous 10's of years #emotions is #expected and would be a good start now to see what your #trouble is.
Not always about global #Climate / #ClimateChange but also your own #Change - What do you want more / less of ?
Because the next #Bully and Human #Shark will only enjoy making examples of you and others alone pushing his weight around. Whereas others will be more #forgiving and #helpful.
Don't feed them your fear only
and don't hang around like fish.
Prepare #yourselves and others to work for #yourself (!) which means with you, for you, for others instead.
Don't #feed #fear INTO #systems / leaders.
You need to work this OUT more personally to the end like and less play into it...
#Greta style while keeping your own balance... Hashtag #GretaThunberg helps from time to time.
Quitting YouTube + #Statistics - #IT became the new #TV
Quitting YouTube + #Statistics
It's not just #YouTube but also as other activity using #machines as people aer coding non-stop, educating or whatever.
We can't stop playing with machines it seems and losing warmth of #people while habits get over-used / too heavy.
Information Technology started off good - and was needed - but now has inevitably become #unhealthy also as things move on in to #commercial phases.
And still we're no nearer to making #friendship.
We're occasionally growing #plants mostly but watching TV again irresistibly - some on big screens no different to 50" inch TV screens like a TV on steroid as seen in living room windows while walking past as big as the window itself.
Some of us scoffed at TV being too much of a large object in past but you probably have a larger one now. 📺
What's prompted me to say and do this is also...
1🔴 The @Invidious filter sites (that remove adverts) has been largely suppressed
And so it's also hard to escape code for tracking and adverts in general that the new #TV is with tracking and adverts - which is worse than before and unacceptable.
#Invidious is good and might still be in future but anyway it's about self-moderation and it was feeding existing bad #habits (for me at least).
2🔴 I need to do something more with my life.
Make my own shit, even with stuff already downloaded from the past - of which there is plenty... I admit it's hard and nobody else is around but still...
You have to figure how your own life can be, so saying this aloud helps me and perhaps you.
Instead of only watching others that you will never talk to while absorbing and tons of #Hollywood movies, #adverts and bad #code (even if you don't see it) then we have to probably create friendships to replace this and what surely #online is only going to increase in the bad things.

Couldn't we use this place towards actually helping people change? Personally hand-holding in whatever they / you want...?

#MASTODON ETC IS GOOD BUT...
This space in itself is 100% ⭐ super ⭐ to be here and total respect for how many hours makes this a success,
BUT we almost had the same or similar as #newsletters + #forums + emails + #IRC or #ICQ etc - so how is this going to be different here ? ❓
❓ Mastodon etc as just a better front end and not actually full of people changing history? ❓
The 'next level' is to actually #help each other #create change and #curate others more personally.
Left alone we suck or get sucked into the engine pipes of other things like #Capitalism and plans from #Plutocracy who spit us out the other sides when our batteries are tired and dead -
Give each other more listening time and even humour them - You might learn something and spend less time in the mono-work you do elsewhere (#Tech etc is also a big time suck and not people focused)
The idea is 1-to-1 / 1-to-many
+ many-to-many (all of them)
1/ #Friendship first
2/ #Work together (non-state work) second
3/ #Cats along the way but not just using it for #Caturday ❗
Yes do mix up the order also !
Pay each other more specific #attention... like you do you cats!
Show a little mo' #love / solidarity to #humans and find them to offer help / contrast / change...

The "Trolley Problem" #Theory + #Video Clip
The "Trolley Problem"
#Theory + #Video Clip
I always liked the theory of 'HOW things are done' a bit more than frankly the result or "unthinking" ways like...
...buying in the answer
...shipping it from somewhere else all the time...
The morality seems to suffer the same if you do not think and just go for the cheese or candy that inevitably 'someone else' has left there for a few reasons - not all of them freedom loving (or even shockingly aiming for the opposite!).
Here I discuss the morality of this theory in today's sense... but for more accuracy this is the wiki page reference of it...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem
So I like also the non-extreme ways of thinking and not forcing people into binary in just the binary sense, but I do think you do have to think more often than not!!!...
like 70%+ of the time..
So it's like saying think deeper more than don't !
IF you do only the immediate and short-term ways the results are effected long-term because you are not looking at the bigger picture or even what the others are doing and how/why/etc.
Of course we're born into the problems so it's hard not to already be in problems and jump into it from day 1 (like when you're 18 trying to find a job or even having a #passport and what that means) so we all learn how bad it is AFTER... read terms and conditions after... or even learn what the terms mean in #legalese...
So then it's learning and unlearning as you are unavoidably or highly probably going to do more harm or reach climactic problems by ignoring things especially when you do know or see it everywhere.
The morality and Trolley Problem are solved by long-term thinking..
and this equation....
☑️ long-term thinking = short-term
So if you can get the message through more often then everyone is a winner even after short-term disasters which are often unavoidable as time for thinking and acting has already gone,
Hardships mean just by doing the #bad less often in a methodical way within loss and becomes better from people needing to learn better (but yes this luxury of increasing #intelligence has it's #costs or time and $energy)... but seems no other way.
Doing things too directly (skipping steps of thought) or less looking at your method (=learning bad habits) means people are going to DISPLACE THE COST or SHIFT SUFFERING involved and lose responsible / control.
So even in the #colonial sense or being supplied stuff, it's not feasible because people will reach unhappiness when losing control, losing understanding from why things are happening from their usage as it's unseen.
The Trolley Problem is usually about an over-simplified short-term scenario of death presented as "either a smaller group die or larger group die" (by switching the train tracks switch yourself) but to achieve actually a different result needs more than revisiting the same Trolley Problem situation over and over because things get worse in more areas if only doing that.
Life is undoubted a knock-on effect and connect to an eco-system we could work with more often (as a whole) instead of leaving everything to 'everyone else' (who is also thinking someone else has control or responsibility when it's really almost nobody!)
A SUMMARY OF ANOTHER KIND...
➡️ Humans learning a better way work long term
➡️ Not expecting a switch to solve it or even accepting "Trolley Problem" at all
For example everyone could spread the loss and lose together sharing the death in smaller way between more people AND solve it after a while like feeding people instead of profiting from them.
➡️ The short-minded choice *all the time* avoids responsibility and future children get the same problems happen and "the can is kicked further down the road" by current people avoiding responsibility.
➡️ Predicting the trolley problem (or even thinking of the trolley problem itself being a bad way to think) is better in the overall sense and reflects more to it in reality.
➡️ This predictive thinking of "doing better" and "I will improve this next time" by people I feel is what is missing from daily life. I admit it is often "enforced" by rules from past people but often this is just what parents tell us and can be a bit imaginary as a line we can't cross and may not even exist!
What we could do is break more smaller ones more often or test smaller rules as false fences of truth and what people think of a 'concrete' in the mind (a bit like Wizard of Oz not being a real thing and just a man behind a curtain).
➡️ Sometimes more than 'legal' 'illegal' definitions we see these things are only past people who try to put us in concrete binary definitions of "morality" which are clearly not because they often expect just people to follow and not debate or test things (it's usually purely for business what is legal and what is not).
➡️ When younger or as a family to defend each other's right to choice seems best to do it and learn why. Ok! Now go do it more often!
➡️ Don't be the person who would forget a problem and come across the same problem again later! #FreeSpeech etc!
➡️ Everything actually matters because it's the micro that adds to macro or larger blocks of life.
➡️ And you can't cheat (or else cheat yourself).
➡️ We all have to be responsible more often to solve these problems and have less of the #Trolley #mindset.
➡️ To die naturally happens and even that's from human-added choice (people want wars) so it's about the long-term habits and micro-choices which tie to principles that are going to solve it all or more often.
➡️ If not tied to principles or much more than going for the cheese then it seem you are constantly going to jump ships on fire and never going to improve your ship until all the ships are sunk.
Or worse get manipulated from shirking responsibility to control your own ship (your body or life).
➡️ SO THE PAST ALSO HELPS ACCEPT FUTURE LOSS... IF DON'T THE WRONG WAY ALREADY OR NOT ADAPTING TO CURRENT PEOPLE.
And if the past has made the long-term #unsustainable or less #sustainable (population increases from using #fertilizer and #fossilfuels) ignoring people's other needs of morality (another kind of happiness achieved even when poor) means further bad ways and more desperate ways to get that fuel, etc... like doing deals with #Russia (or whoever) - I mean didn't people get it after the Cold War or any war that you can't do deals with your Super-Power enemy!
➡️ So then we can only take the hit by going against or with the method as "a bit better" than repeating deals with the devils.
(E.G. REDUCE gas from Russia? Is a tough one but accepting we should use what we have better or on our own soil more often and gradually, more and more grow what we can ourselves relieves suffering to ourselves and others overall)... obviously not all $tates want this is another "onion skin of consideration" of which you might aim to #DIY energy and reduce it yourself.
I know that sounds 'too #humanitarian' but we have to do it for other #humans too else fall into the trap of doing it for the #money / #banks / #state control and trapping those that have lost control themselves completely.
#Hunting money or buying into other people's way also has it problems feeding #profit into what seem a black hole for spending on oppression and #war.
So that's why the 'best of worst scenarios' is to Do It Yourself while calculating / reducing / testing problems for a more educated pull of the switch (long-term - meaning many switches not just one trolley or train to think about for your life's quest!).

We can entertain things *a bit more* without $tate cashing us in for every single transaction we make - which is never helping anyone and actually takes away a lot of heat and real help overall.
(boost please for more work on this)
The rest is explained below but "Trust" and increasing #Friendships seems to be what's needed / can't be left as it is.
We can achieve #Trust with visible #feedback comments / #testimony / #ProofOfWork / #credibility online (like if I do something bad someone says and we argue it).
If you can think about trust and if it's true then we can work on increasing it with most of what we have other than conscious effort on our part or as the #people #project.
To increase trust for those that want and see the point to increase participation in life...
( ...online then offline, one big circle 🔁 ).
⭐ My answer is to dedicate time to looking / talking / helping grow others more personally and that opens up much more and harmless from a distance until we meet more and more in person.
Really looking, and weaving ourselves together to form a bigger #mesh and #blanket of people... is for the way that we haven't seen regularly...
#Email, #IRC, #P2P, #XMPP, static websites, they are not enough ➡️ because people themselves can't do more than 1 or 2 replies max and get 'weirded out' at some point over their own shadow (or actually anything they choose). Because they are not focused on #friendship.
Same about #Mastodon or any part of #Fediverse
not making people more deliberately part of the value and frankly just entertainment and education-without-action mostly.
EXAMPLE
Even posting this seems to make a like-minded person like @rysiek@mstdn.social / @rysiek@hackers.town
blocks me and actually creates animosity. Crazy and unsaid - why are people so afraid or whatever if even #rysiek a hacker doesn't even have courtesy to say why? Probably but shows life is losing meaning as everything is becoming unsaid and people considered worthless..
We (they) never really build on things doing things like that with people - or even get past the basic #communication hurdles. Even if people do some good work there is a lot they are not doing well with *people* (people not just tech).
The better examples of communication are from geeks or other "extreme" fans of stuff, especially in forums previously, because their mutual interest in hardware / software wok for things as a kind of #relationship
but that is still not enough as far as people bridging the gap...
More #relativity and #relationship is needed and real care curation... for #intelligence spread or people just growing their #dreams however they want.
We need something more on the people front. Not just cold #system.
People actually helping others improve by looking closely at each other's stuff and making a kind of better #understanding to link them to other things or even set it up for them!!
Helpful #critique helps for something #measurably usable for that person (not just stone throwing or misunderstanding for months or blocking quickly).
And not just me me me but, here try this for you you you!) ...
Where's the dedicated relativity here on Fediverse aside from one-way posts?
United it seems in hating #Trump #Bezos #Zuckerberg (go ahead look at how many posts are there) but how mny actuall build on each other's stuff?
Hating doesn't really count highly for me or they are just fear-reaction posts... when we need to positively build *ALSO*... else really get left with nothing.
One-way machine type #Tech talk isn't the only thing to invest in but people.
Ok plenty of fixes and advice happen here for devices but on the internals of people and 'other' fixes inside to love themselves or share with others deeper still feels very machine based. So something more daily as written sign or a space, time to check in...
The tough stuff is yonder inside the person who could be getting confidence from others to play with further more others. #Evangelism if you will (as there are plenty of #Tech angels here,..
Emotions, Emotional intelligence - to hear what people are saying or could be in other words and help train nuances / variances etc..
To say "nice one!" and occasionally rant is still not the improvement I mean or only a small part of it = it's not dedicated / organised... and even weird for others if 1 person says it rather than a group (#psychology at play)
Even if this trust and relativity just means just me and you seeding here and to do something more on that on the regular - even as a test and handout dreams and objectives - that's a heck of a lot more...
1/ ➡️ Up to us instead of waiting for others forever... the caliber of person, true isn't here, but who is ready to build trust maybe we could collect up?
People actually helping others improve in whatever way they can and find others that can, point toward appreciating them and their work - could there be anything better?
Nnow we're talking #social ..
#change
You can't even find any #free work here even if you post it...
People with websites question
why you even contacted them when they clearly say you can contact them - fucking crazy.
Mastodon people not writing in their profile they want pure peace so people keep trying them... Just write it in the post!
My attempts probably need 'legitimizing' as it's easy to blame myself - but surely all across Fediverse questions go unanswered and lost.
It should be good enough ANYONE can type, have hands or legs or just pure will to be able to be asked or given something to do - even create on top of existing things.
You can't even draw a picture and send it to someone.
A bit more dedicated plug-in-and-play into non-commercial work for the whole cause(s)...
Machines installed software CANNOT do the people work.
It's the same as email days here.. hit-and-miss lack-of-depth one-way communication
====================
Quick TLDR
====================
from a post I made asking my admin to work on improving / organising people more than just systems or AI expecting disorganised / disorderly people to do it better...
2/ ➡️ #p2p fails when #users are not doing #peertopeer themselves (having a system is not enough)
3/ ➡️ Real progress is the users and admin doing the people-to-people work daily rather than mass-storage #AWS McDonalds that doesn't encourage much more than the consumer style user storage and one-way writing more than empathy creating human harmony between our server or others...
Some of the above taken from my own notes:

NEEDING TO SKILL-UP
To increase emotional intelligence is one thing since we all start out with and without many skills -directly we need to teach and make that part of our instances... else just have slow progress as 'users' (and abusers actually with Techies included in not doing minimal human practice which catches up with us all one day).
A few people can really do good work on each instance and build trust and have it visible / tangible / witnessed...
My life proves people actually can't do many things like reply (low and lacking any depth) and the truth why, is not clear, so that needs to come out.
Lack of depth is killing other people and planet (without being a drama king or queen about it)
We really have to help others FULL STOP.
(yes some won't need but really all this tech is less useful without more depth)
The training / nudging of people daily on how to communicate or give example by making audio podcasts together - just something... already in line with what they want to do, retro game revival or whatever - just not playing alone and wasting time. Linux PlayStation also needs merging with People's streams....and work for us all more often *personally*.
What is measurably the potential (if not problem) on the #Fediverse is things like teaching / showing that pseudonyms are still real people, the avatar doesn't always represent someone totally etc etc and what all these scary #acronyms mean.
Help others say aloud if they doubt and resolve it.
#Tech and #Techies can be cold non-emotional / overly logical when dealing with humans and obviously this is barely human.
While I UNDERSTAND human 'imperfection' is crap compared to 'perfect' machine and seems more desirable, it's not and not sustainable or ethical. All jobs and people need to inject more humanity into their 'jobs' (which are their to strip and extract very specific usually-unhealthy things for state as profit)
"Free School" is a 60's & 70's movement of continual practice with educational living and learning together towards #DIY & #Caring (at the same time not an after-thought).
I make #Fediverse #Notes #Quotes about #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites towards #Freedom
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working / Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating+Learn+DIY 🔁
Hashtag #FreeSchool for latest - https://qoto.org/web/tags/freeschool
I also ask people for human #chats using simple #Jitsi chat links (no-install / no account / no google etc! Really the best / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough out there needing just browser on any platform / device!)
#FreeSchool is my continuation of a living the personal collection of gems and quotes that offer a one-line summary and longer forms of writing or media often using "Show more" button (to hide things under a CW or Content Warning feature to shorten it vertically).
#AltText used (when I remember).
If you want a great film documentary I like a lot then see below showing Capitalism for what it is using Moore's personal experience of it's effect to him locally.

I think we can solve most of everything ourselves (we don't need to wait forever for leaders and rich people to change because they won't and they already decided!)... IF ONLY we start talking together THEN we can do it and snowball all good things on Fedi!
FreeSchool aims at a better #Art of #Life (of many sorts) in whatever way that suits and directs the individual towards even more community and freedoms.
More in this post though this is enough I know... https://qoto.org/@freeschool/112186767286933459
I'm someone who #Cares for people and planet, but wise enough to know business tricks of the trade and overall $tate business (making money from u$).
The real work now is about better humans... so even if you would give them hammers they would know not to damage the place .... We have to accept mistakes and not be too scared of people either.
Enough material work and Tech, time to work on the mind AND care at the same time as doing ALL things...
#FreeSchool = Working / Learning Together 🔁
