It's time to move on from Social being almost all about #Trump #GOP #USPol hashtags and consuming life in that way...
Although some is needed, we're not #building each other up or #developing internally by spending #time there...
Just seeing people's timeline full of that stuff and even spinning more their stuff and "their web" while we're stuck and stunting in our own #web and social growth (which is whatever you like and love more than bashing Trump or #Musk)... right?
You have something better to do...?

P.S I understand the "scam sound" (risking my own money perhaps) but that is what we can take care of I hope and do it for others to get talking / making friends with the world AND learning our enemy (and ourselves) FASTER as it's becoming more and more the average person so we have a lot to learn about what's supporting the world (#Banks, #War investment. giving #Debt / #Dollar, #Jobs) but lots of other types of #realisation and #therapy people need which can be done over long distance #penpal type stuff with audio talks in #Jitsi also...)

Add "No Scraping" Disclaimer to #QOTO public info ? (BEING CLEARER ABOUT NO SCRAPING CONSENT...)
#consent #scRAPING #permission
#clarity about #permissions
Adding Disclaimer to #QOTO IS MUCH CLEARER about scraping consent... (regardless of what big companies do or don't ignore)
Please add:
🚨 "No consent given for commercial usage or data anywhere on or from QOTO, including scraping/using/processing anything in any way. You must get express consent from each and every user personally for such permission or data usage." 🚨
(The above topics was from a post before to Freemo and #QOTOMods https://qoto.org/@freeschool/112868647208889528 that I saw worth re-writing again and re-considering, more than complaining when it happens and when we don't write anything on the wall about them scraping / *raping us).
* RAPING = Destroy and strip of its possession
(so as 2nd meaning, "raping" its not far from un-consented sex as it is destroying / stripping us)
#consent #scRAPING #permission
#clarity about #permissions
============================
The original post was moaning a bit but wasn't asking for the moon in this point 1/ and I couldn't see why it would not make sense (even trivially / aesthetically) to added SOMETHING about consent and asking individual users first to scrape them.
❓ Like why would it even be bad? ❓
Below is more text as a "refresh" of that post but above says it all in much shorter form without almost begging people to try defending themselves / making things clear for both us and #bigtech...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/112868647208889528
============================
Below is the refresh (can skip all below - unless you want more of the same logic)...
"What they do Freemo is not what we're only looking at. We also have to do our bit and say about #consent / try protect QOTO and say so to those others 'this' is what we do and don't want- IF they ignore it or not that's on them.
Us telling them is our responsibility and sign on the door THEY DO NOT HAVE CONSENT.
I don't understand people who don't mention things because "they will do it anyway" - surely this is bad logic and even encouraging them.
To complain after without saying is fucked up. The fact that that massive companies are ignoring things is BAD but THIS KIND OF LOGIC IS BAD too.
It's terribly bad to mention "rape" or extreme words but it might jolt the logic in people that YOU HAVE TO SAY NO TO BEING MOLESTED TOO, (a poor example but logic is same - say no first, not after or stay silent).
Anyone looking back in time will just say "They never actually expressed their dissatisfaction or did any effort to repel such a thing!" #Law or not #CommonSense #CommonLaw ,
"There's nothing there to suggest they even cared!" they might say
Being clear helps a the whole know it's happening too.
So yes it does count freemo and have value to users - we're not just looking only at what they do - but how we express and conduct things. So please add...
"No consent given for commercial usage of data anywhere on QOTO, including scraping/taking/using/processing anything in any way. You must get express consent from each user personally for such permission or data usage."
#QOTO people about leaving / people blocking QOTO etc...
#QOTO people - about leaving / people blocking QOTO etc...
I'm messaging you because of mixed reasons - not all bad but it seems that many of the people included here want(ed) more as many of us have been posting about or around things - some solved but many around the Fediverse also itself.
I've personally seen how it's going too... also having talked to @freemo (many month before now and un-responded) and asking for more (even without his help directly but under his and our own watchful eyes to do *something*)... Again not all his fault and also about my wants and other people's with just social / Federation rules by others / not being blocked etc...
So I'm seeing a few more people talk about EXPORTING out and I also was thinking and why I included you all... Freemo has often done great and a stellar job in communicating with people on his instance but it was a bit patchy and did need branching out / enabling other somehow (a bit like fans running the band's website or at least helping themselves through the root / music band's website / QOTO).
Anyway I have a lot of energy still but after seeing a few comments about other people BLOCKING or similar (and my friend also creating a Mastodon.Social account and not able to see my posts) means we have to solve this somehow... maybe having two accounts? I don't know (I'm also seeking your help here).
Checking #QOTO hashtag makes some of this clear about people's intentions or direction so I hope we can crowdsource and help ourselves if Freemo is often out of communication or at least this level... or just life... We have to find a way...
Not sure about leaving totally as it's "their fault" and not all QOTO (though a lot of what I want and what any social needs is direct investment and building people in itself, not just the storage resources and Techies)...
But anyway... a few words for you all. No harm intended.
See #QOTO hashtag and see if you can help the others..,

urghhh... dry...
Thanks I guess - #HINT - a tech instance is not enough, we need humans answering / pushing / educating / warming up with the others ! Captains / people driving the ship forward socially else we just stay drifting with no pioneering / much less discovery / progress / just tech which gets rug pulled...

We can't stay humanly cold / unlearned / just in text-modes...

The past tricked the future. Here's how... (Banks and State Rules)
➡️ #Banks as the "system" of "value" #cheating the #future by "selling" #debt and #devaluing future #money (and life).
More debt or #less #value of keeping money / #saving. (often both)
➡️ More State #Rules, like a smaller and smaller space to work in (to make it harder or more #profitable for #State)

Surrendering to #Trump and capitulation is a failure...
But Tariffs are also a way to try force people to sell out (their country - e.g. saying tariffs will be put on Brazilian coffee if they don't accept US anti-circumvention laws - so those countries (all of them) give in and take on #US pressure.

Not all Trans are the same group + We will build something better than Capitalism... #Quote
"Remember: not all trans people are alike, the exact same way that not all members of ANY group are alike. That's why it would be a 'group' and not 'exact clones'. Yes, even identical twins are not completely identical in every way, cool and personally unique though they are in other ways (like us all!)
No one is more important than anyone else. You're allowed to experiment. You're allowed to stay with what you feel comfortable. You need to notice harm to others and yourself. You need to care AND rest. We will build something better after capitalism.
I love you."

TOGETHER & MORE OFTEN DIRECTLY (who else is going to do it?).
#FreeSchool hashtag shows examples what this is about... and can check anytime.
Overall: Moving From Shorter to Deeper intelligence and more Caring thoughts...
( More below if you're able )
#DIY Care (because nobody else is going to as best as you do for those around) - #Caring IS our main #Politics / #Politics and "System" (not a system of cheating each other but caring and what Capitalism is cutting out - this is what we need to put back in and teach to those willing).
#Degrowth / PostGrowth
#WellbeingEconomy #DoughnutEconomics
#CaringEconomy / #CareEconomy / #Partnerism
"Free School" is a term for a movement born from the 1960's / 70's using educational living & learning practice towards #Caring & #DIY with all others (all at the same time - not an after-thought or specialism in 1 field or person who is a #compartmentalised person ignoring others in other fields). Caring to involves more things, increasingly aiming towards everything...
Posts are 1-line #Notes and #Quotes that links all other things (it's all relative).
Long comments use CW to shorten post vertically and add a 'show more' button to reveal more text if you want it. Long posts might seem bad but it's giving chance to more connection and understanding.
All things towards #Freedom (life moving from Shorter to Deeper thought).
Freedom doesn't come from short-depth lifestyles / short lines of text / ignoring / #inaction. Not less communication between lovers of similar things. MORE!)
#FreeSchool = Learning Together 🔁
#FreeSchool = Working Together 🔁 (eventually + I do Free work for Freedom.
#FreeSchool = Co-Operating & #DIY Solutions 🔁

#FreeSchool ➡ Increment Talking + Peacefully solve everything.
TLDR - Inaction = Fascism
Trust comes from "slowly but surely"... Doesn't have to be all-in, but peace doesn't come from one-way short messaging on 'social' Mastodon either - collecting memes and cats only is limited!
Remember we need develop better humans as well as 'develop' code on computers etc.
☮ Peace needs more... even to save all types of cats!
Get in touch - I'm someone that cares for everything because it's all human-related...
Human #chats welcome - I using #Jitsi audio chat which uses JUST browser (ANY PLATFORM + 2minutes to enter !)
(i.e. no-install / no account / no google / instant / privacy-respecting / safe-enough, etc!) Really the best out there - any platform / device! Instant audio chat !
Just ask for a link and prepare a few topics!
#AltText used (when I remember).
FREE WORK - I do free audio and video editing (anything considered - just ask).
Again - Creating Trust needs a bit of trust given "slowly but surely"... not all-in... being relaxed about it... but has to be more - 'working' like a 2nd job towards peace because your job isn't going to do it / it's now allow by State to get there! War increases prices etc ☮
So do "peace" as a side-job like it was your real job in the world, parallel to the Capitalism (Trap) you (we) were born into. We have to accept that and fight out of that and not be comfortable in it.
Heart and Soul all the way.
