" We say we are committed to #decentralization - but are we committed to each other?" ❓
- #Freeschool (#friendly #Fediverse hashtag)
Let's go towards: #friendship / #friends / #friendships online
#fight for #friendships
==================
#friendships for the #way
================
"#work or #starve"
(or kill time together!)
"#slavery by the #state or #die"
(or #live #minimally / #share with the nicer richer folks!)
"be our #soldier or be the #enemy / be in #prison"
(or try make #friends and work on positives more)
"no #free lunch"
(or try "we all will eat somehow")
"#fight for us or #starve on your own"
(or #try find more things you #love #mutually and put it into it #action)
LEAVE UK ! GO Try elsewhere TRAVEL NOW!
(choose wisely a culture but also just aim to go #EU let's say and then move around)
==========================
GET OUT NOW BEFORE NEW #VISA SHIT COMES IN #2025 !
TRY EU & #TRAVELING and say you gave it a shot and come back...
Or #Ireland frankly if not willing to leave completely...
I can help you if you can talk privately...
THE REST IS EXTRA - JUST GET SERIOUS AND LET'S TALK BASIC #OPTIONS BUT JUST GOING BECAUSE WE KNOW #UK IS EXPENSIVE CRAP!
Similar advice for T#rans people goes for others... see video below:
America’s #trans #refugees: Where can I go?
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=WjBqTdjKU7c
"Somewhere a bit more moral and green..."
I admit there isn't too much BUT many countries in EU can help you KILL #TIME AND TRY FIND other# existing places / people...
I wanted to say all that because new #Visa etc stuff is coming and best chance to try a new life is RIGHT NOW...
https://transrescue.org/leaving-the-uk-for-ireland-what-you-need-to-know
and you can even come back to your expensive #hellhole / #rented #shithole and say you tried after and pay less rent meantime by keeping light.
Take a lot of money (not all) and have rest sent you to after...
#Summertime makes it all easier / lighter packing...

#Immigrating from danger as #Trans
" #Asylum is not a realistic option for leaving.
We’re not interested in predicting the future. We help people leave. "

(said for #TransRescue #trans #TransRights so slightly different but I believe all of us are in a lot of danger - soft or direct danger)
#Trans people for the way... +More Pictures wanted to represent - SEND MORE!
"Trans people for the way..." because of their diversity, personality and life...
This is what their lives make me say without doubt or thinking twice naturally because:
1☑️ they have above average or even super-human determination, undoubtedly needed for their life struggles
2☑️ they have more skills in communication and navigating interaction with life, undoubtedly needed because of simply existing and being more challenged for being different which is tested more often and more often thwarted.
3☑️ they claim their OWN #identity and find their OWN #authenticity despite being lost in depersonalization and derealization.
( ⬆️ quote taken word-for-word partially fromSecondUniverse @SecondUniverse and this post:
https://autistics.life/@SecondUniverse/114383151411852532 )
And therefore all 3 above
= more a #trained, #experienced, #proven person
That is why I like in any #human with those things trained more...
ESPECIALLY when they believe it for themselves and others...
==================
#Disclaimer / Deeper #Notes:
==================
1💗 Really happy how I said this post super-quick, but if it can be better / if I missed something as usual let me know!
2💗 I'm new-ISH to #trans people, have met and hung out with 1 or 2 so not totally fresh but I think I prefer their #diversity and just self-direction.
Other people next to #Trans people don't seem to know why they even exist or have only #follower mode setting, no other switches or #clever / #deeper #emotions, just #robot #workers for #robot #system. No #direction or out-of-the-financial-treadmill #dreams.
I DON'T HATE 'NORMAL' PEOPLE BUT... THEY BEHAVE BADLY / POORLY...
Didn't want to knock #normal / #mainstream / #conformist people but you can see my profile already that I complained how poor people are in so many departments measurably even without comparing them to anyone! (the speed and communication especially when talking to trans etc people is noticeable / stronger / less doubtful / more accepting of others)
3💗 Even the people I love or my friends over my whole life - VERY poor in many ways, or nice but too limits, too many of those!
This also shows I would be less bias even with the people I do / did like and not just have hate for everyone or to #virtuesignal to support trans in a false way.
"virtue signal" means:
the act of expressing opinions or stances that align with popular moral values, often through social media, with the intent of demonstrating one's good character."

#Trans people for the way... or anyone proven to have better skills and care for #rights / #respect for all life.
❓ 🖼️ ❓I'm also looking for a picture that is the 'epitome' of trans (or just something that really reflects well / symbolises it a bit). Any help appreciated - thanks just 'send them in' here!

#Money Alternative?
#Money Alternative?
IF only we could gave each other something else than only money and then grow something else better between us meantime (mental and/or physical sense of the currency / it's #philosophy)...
The above is the main point and from that I'm searching for something else a bit more reliable and not saying "no money" though ideally #Banks and bad war-funding people OUT.
More than giving physical shells or coins or "respect" or jewels or "nature" and land to each other... just a bit more something else which grows another mentality (like #Payitforward or #DIY or #SmallisBeautiful #Recycling / anything else good at the same time as all that exists now... (I don't mean "scrap money").
So not #crypto in that extreme but some evolution that ticks a lot of boxes like that and actually proves itself utility like #monero / #bitcoin has even when States have tried to block it in early days and perhaps have had to try co-opt it instead as it's own compliment to #cryptography in some ways...
🔴 ENERGY ALWAYS COSTS US AND NATURE whichever way you go...
ALL attempts at keeping energy involve burning energy and more cost than just keeping it.
(I think that's right)
All this I think DEMANDS accepting wholeheartedly that you cannot try preserve what isn't on it own already doing it for you without processing / damaging / transforming things and that costs over time. Ideally just making people are fed (and not needing currency almost at all) but also in political situation WE NEED TO UNITE every time we spend ALSO.
Maybe only a volcano or natural acids can do their thing on their own but not sure much else can... or how things be used to promote a "currency for good" ?
This is part of this post (finding a currency AND THEN trying to grow better mentality from the exchanges, rather banks that devalue or are allowed use THEIR MONEY for wars etc).
Money changes make everyone poor. And poorly exchange your life for it constantly losing it's value and utility BY DESIGN increasingly with fees %'s back-room goal post changing #quantativeeasing etc...
ALL attempts at keeping energy involve burning energy costs:
electricity storage and transport are very wasteful, batteries more so and aren't great. Many things just cost life purely from existing and the want by mankind to exist in a longer ways costs more (it's always DISPLACED energy and cost).
Maybe pickled gherkins in vinegar are truly lasting longer without much more needed and reliable as food (can reuse the glass and even metal top to some degree) and even drinking the diluted acid after or for cleaning things etc.
Now we have a lot at massive #cost of #transport (#inefficiency is #embedded just to be able to get you #electricity per #mile...)
(though that has worked in it's own way if you can accept EVERYTHING is burning the planet,
Social Challanges on #Fediverse / #Mastodon - Social is not only about using Tech / Software...
My feelings about social on #Fediverse / #Mastodon - it's all positively said even if right now it's not as positive as this current outlook:
...Quality of People: Low ⬇️ 📉
...External Doubt / Paranoia: ⬆️ 📈
therefore:
...Personal Progress: Low ⬇️ 📉
...Observed Cowering in Corners: ⬆️ 📈
More 2-Way Comms / warmer people and even friendship-making needed.
#Fediverse is more than just a software-protocol, so it needs *people* to be social or trained others how to make friends more often.
Problem is that not everyone knows how to make #friends and always specifically why... but they do want to be in #meetup #events / #festivals / #clubs etc which is why they visit in person in the hope better things happen between people.
So with less in-person events or more regulations, I think online is perfect for this real social to happen, kind of like regular dating program to find someone but not being too desperate, just much more toned down to see who else is out there seeing the potential in two people really finding almost mutually-#random things to work on, or those that simply have #free #time to #help out.
If we just buy and sell each other for specific commercial #projects as the main required #relationships, then nothing much better happens from it.
#Summary:
Social is not very Social: 🚫 ⛔ but could be...
And from that better social grows and solves it's own things (my things and yours). @luna
Money's design itself is for centralising power via debt...
Money's design itself is for centralising power via debt...
#Banks ...greed, power to create money exclusively (monopoly), usury pyramids, all going back to centre to then amplify back again using #debt #sold to people
Closing in on people with everything money connects to...
Examples of too much power:
🔴 Indirect #Slavery / Ownership of Debt
🔴 Possession of #Housing / Paperwork
🔴 #Economic-#attachment / #Food / #Material
🔴 Fiddling the #finances / cheating #public for private gains
🔴 Funding #wars / helping bullying smaller countries / get leverage using finance etc!
money = a #war on people
(it's not #innocent or without it's own #politics #developed of how to get power and treat people as just numbers and use them for more #numbers / #power.
#Fediverse #Trust + #idea = GIVING TRUST TO GET TRUST....?
#Fediverse #Trust + #idea
GIVING TRUST TO GET TRUST....
#Fediverse #Trust needs to be 'installed' / Trust spread better.
A way to #practise else you have #software but nobody practising.
Because #users online are not able to USE the social software - it's not just the software to develop but users to actually use it and find a way to trust more often (which opens doing things a lot more).
GIVING TRUST TO GET TRUST....
So just jumping in and giving trust to get trust or a small arena people can know it's managed / moderated a bit...
Nothing strengthens #authority so much as #silence.

#Fascism #Fascist #Ignorance

This includes some non-fascist people who stay #silent and let things continue.
Ignoring things leads to Fascism... (even if you're not Fascist)
#Ignoring things leads to #Fascism... (even if not #Fascist)
So deliberately or not -the same result happens.
IF #people are not doing the #daily harmonising or understanding between people and micro-understanding things, then as fascist or not they are acting similar to a fascist who also isn't doing the harmonising or understanding work daily.
People that leave it to others, and close their ivory doors and metal gates at the end of the day thinking that goes anywhere than worse / allows others to continue doing badly.
Digital Exile... Being left out digitally...? !
#Quote says it well:
💬 " I propose that in this context, a fear of #exile – that is, a fear of being left out, #overlooked, #ignored or#banished – can act as a #regulating #force that inverts the radial spatial dynamic of the #panopticon and shifts the responsibility for visibility, understood both in terms of competitive exposure and existential recognition, onto #workers.
As a consequence these workers enlist #digital #technologies to become #visible at the real or imagined organizational centre."

(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 #ecosystem 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 #mutuality grows as part of sending that to the world / #fediverse (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 #ecosystem 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 #Trump or whoever leader IS NOT GOING TO DO IT or listen! (shock horror
at ALL the people on these #Zuckerberg / #Musk / #Bezos etc hashtags #begging / #hoping for top leaders to stop extracting / plundering from planet / people).
⛔ Stop that waiting. ⛔

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 #handholding and saying 'done' at the end. It's not for everyone but I'm here for you.
#Tech 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"
#Payitforward 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 #friendships are not made (or even our shit is not done as fast as their #ENshitification actually spelt with two T's in the middle / 3 in total #ENshittification ).
DO IT NOW / ADD THIS TO YOUR LIST OF #FreeSchool #THINGSTODO

Mastodon Filesize Bloat - Pasted Pictures = Big #PNG Filesize for all #Fediverse
#Mastodon #Fediverse #Bloat
#Data #Improvement / #Suggestion
2.7MB PNG FILE #Filesize #Bloat (from copy and paste process of images... #PNG files as pasted output are massive frequently).
#EXAMPLE OF BIG 2.7MB PNG FILE HERE:
https://mastodon.social/@RubyGold/114349143749701875
Same #picture but PNG as a pasted version = #BLOATED FILE
2mb more than original picture as drag/drop for example...
So copy and paste costs the Fediverse a whole lot more and actually takes time to download (ever wonder while it crawls some pictures?)!
TONS OF BANDWIDTH AND STORAGE / DOWNLOAD / CACHE just to see few hundred KB pic for what was 1 small JPG!
#CopyPaste is useful and PNG I understand cleans #EXIF data (doesn't store it) but surely a #JPG could do the same (there might be more reasons but I don't see them)...
#Digital vs. #Democracy
Not tech! People building first!
#Tech people are blind basically building the future trouble.
(We have enough already STOP)
Just use existing great basic things towards and focus on #friendships / increment #trust increase #people togetherness)
Not just solo work to make the next greatest weapon / crap / disposable code / or whatever.
People, not so much tech!

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.
