Don't forget me and the rest of us - socially... not just financially... Social development needed as part of Mastodon...
@Mastodon @GroupNebula563 @bloodaxe @pranabekka @edu4rdshl
Dear Mastodon and Everyone here - my thoughts that have been the same for too long now...
We the human people are looking for Human Social Groups (Relationships) not just Technology.
We had / have Technology - almost too much now.
So we need to develop socially more... with whatever we have (#email, #forums, #ICQ, #Jitsi etc) and even not over do it in existing areas.
Please develop #people not just tech (at the same time) and level up in this department else we stagnate as a bit better Twitter user. #Tech nly ways also plays into the hands of others a lot more and doesn't really enable us (doesn't mean I don't value #Privacy etc but even that has been done mostly and people need to defend / develop other terms of thinking / logic)...
Individually and as groups we need people in Mastodon and all those humanly responsible to branch out from mostly Tech to mostly People-orientated things to really grow healthier thought and activity. Not just hashtag reactions about #Must or waiting for the next #Crisis to fill Mastodon with... there's a whole other side much more positively-growing that is possible... 🌱 🧠
A bit more than random #p2p individual users...
Not enough just to have just Mastodon when people don't know how to socialise and leave them to it (it's evident if you've tried to make friends / do anything here), To develop trust even from afar is possible in groups (which can be measurable and not just pure risk and even mitigates any badness or helps develop better thoughts over time),
For too long #Mastodon (and previous types of the same messaging) doesn't do the work of 'teaching' (to any level) the #art of #building people up (it needs others and CANNOT be done alone) which is possible from afar and eventually as stronger / more flexible / more measured people even if it's not all-in or claiming to be your better-parent...
Tech people do mostly Tech... that is also not enough. We need to input and balance more individual and measured people and progress at the same time as all this, else we delay the real progress of Humanity (even without Mastodon or us assuming we have to Teach the world)...
Something like a better gathering of minds, filtering those able and allowing those lower in understanding to see better examples of people. A bit like a #Dojo does welcoming all and keeping a healthy eye too together...
It's not enough as progress to have defensive Tech, and after we have a certain level of communications online, we need the mind merging / aligning a bit more to excel a bit more or simply see our choices better, else have the same stagnated problems with not just #Putin or #Trump but the smaller mentalities of the same, our friends locally, the Tech-only people, our family or families that don't talk.
I appreciate the @Mastodon user replying and frankly I don't need to know who it is replying or if it's just another volunteer- because it's the ability to reply and move on just from 'donations' asking on each site to fostering / serving / participating real conversation points (and even that too will get more donations and respect that way eventually).
I mentioned to many like #Eugene #Stallman and many sites, and if this is going to be a social movement (your or mine) once tech gets to a certain level that enables us then we have to move on to Socially Moving moer together... as a daily driver. monthly, whatever... let the users drive it...
Mostly Mastodon / it's users fall into just driving too-easy / short-depth stuff...
➡️ #News reactions
➡️ #Caturday / animal pics
➡️ #Code / #Programming
➡️ many things but not developing more-deliberate social type things even if these can be consider part of it
- clearly not enough for real progress and helping each other since we have a decent pool of people - currently unused as I see it or just spectating life going by and even staying in victim-mode (which is fine but aiming to break free from only that 1-way mode)
Converting people's thoughts from negativity / fear / bad news into a better sports towards #friendship / #community and a-bit-deeper #understanding is key.
Do you feel me on these points?
I'd love to here more about this not just tech and donations (everything else also)... and even pioneer it a bit more for it to be seen as a more measurable social action / development / togetherness of the people and not just tech / finance (which eventually is #fascism even though I didn't want to use this word but #Amazon S3 back-ends etc even for Mastodon and upgrading servers ISN'T the whole answer).
Thanks for some points back...
(and for example a more dedicated team as an answer to develop things / people / harness / release / participation / etc - I could literally run it / have time for it even with a bit of Mastodon contact / support to show the measurements in social development.
Don't forget me and the rest of us - socially... 💜
❓ " Where are you from? " ❓
⬇️ Does anyone find that #question challenging ❓ ⬇️
ANSWER 1 ➡️ #Earth / #Europe / East / Mixed Planet etc?
ANSWER 2 ➡️ A Mixed #History of all #Cultures since I've #learned the #best of them all to this day ? !
I feel like I'm a #living culmination / combination of all #cultures I've learned... up to now...
and also the next 5mins
⭐ (imagine 1000's of watching videos / documentaries / short videos / listening to audio podcasts etc ! ) ⭐
Inventory of the stickers I collected at #39c3. Some go on my laptop, some into my collection, some for my children to play with and the rest to various sticker drops
Please help me add altText, if you spot a sticker that there is no altText for, or if you have a different description, please add it in the replies and I'll update the #altText
Reading the speech @pluralistic held at #39c3 is an amazing way to start the the new year.
A great way to calibrate your political compass.
"Let's call time on enshittification. Let's seize the means of computation. Let's build the drop-in, free, open, auditable alternatives to the services and firmware we rely on."
Let's fucking go.
#2026 = TRYING TO SOLVE THINGS BY MAKING FRIENDS!
AND seeing you wrote the best #Fediverse post about Forging Friendship etc.... again!
This post as example: https://qoto.org/@freeschool/115819535296270881
Or my posts related to #Jitsi (audio chat if you want!)
#NewYear like every yea...
TRYING TO SOLVE THINGS BY MAKING FRIENDS! e.g. Mastodon + Audio chats = 🔁
@DHS Audio Interview? ❓
🔈 If you'd like to do a mini-audio interview on this topic / part of yourself and scene, then let me know... audio traverses humanity also a bit better in other ways... ❗
I'll edit a conversation together basically just like you'd talk to a friend.... (nothing wanted in return, just give the ok when you get the edit at the end).
Happy New Year! 🥂🎉 It’s my year of writing, and I’m open for freelance work in the #TTRPG space. Game designer, writer, part-time historian. Need weird history, deep lore, Mythos, pulp, horror, cyberpunk, or smart design with teeth (and on time)? Slide into my DMs or toss a sending spell. 🎲✍️
Discovered this french-language zine from Brussels while in Lille on tour last month. Similar to The Counterforce, an anarcho-punk contribution based zine, comes out every month with 6 issues. They release the PDF online, so I'll be printing copies and distroing them in Montreal from now on!
Any new punks/labels/distros/etc join the Fediverse lately?
Time to humanise movements despite any perceived discomforts to spread things better.... we are the change ... said with love
Hope to get reply - if not this will show something about how we are doing things...

Any #questions ? ❓
Hey everyone! I want to get hold of an 808 clone but really don't know which to choose. Any recommendations? I don't really care about the sequence unless it can be synched with MIDI (MTC or MMC).
Boosts welcome
#rythmbox #808
@Alice Then I discover the damned written instructions do not include a diagram of the (unlabeled) control panel they refer to... so I have to cue up a video to see what the heck they are talking about.
UK Digital ID will be one of the biggest stories of 2026. And ORG is ready to fight 🦾
This year, we gave expert written and oral evidence to the Select Committee. We highlighted the risks that these plans pose to privacy and civil liberties.

Often language has similar words or similar sounding words that people speak with incorrectly without really knowing or realizing it's misleading or not quite right.
There is a more specific words and less misleading versions of #words or #phrases...
➡️ For example "Common sense"
...might mean "Common principles"
"Sense" is similar to "principles" but importantly principles can be more specific or measured way of saying / doing things so a list everyone can see is more agreeable, rather than your own version of "sense" which might be differently measured than list of "principles".
Since EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and naturally they have different personality, it's better to measure it a bit more clearly which a list of principles in the middle which can help indicate agreement or debate things with less #ambiguity.
➡️ Another example
(quick-fast / maybe not perfect)
💜 Love for others is perhaps top of the #list of #commandments for Jesus ✝️ and his principles - so clears up a lot of confusion between #Christian people or #Christianity or #Religion #debate - presenting a |Yes| or |No| simple question
We all need need to debate what loving people or looking after them means perhaps after that, but can assume better and not guess too not far off than even more general / unspecific words.
So if #love is top 5 on your list then a debate "Common sense" or "Common principles" about Jesus or something can be quickly agreed / answered rather than something #ambiguous.
#Lists are always good.
#CommonSense #List of #Principles
= #Answer for #Ambiguous #words or #phrases in #Debate
"Common sense" is a thought-stopping phrase and concept. It is the same as saying, "Just go with cultural traditions which support prejudice and oppression because those are familiar and comfortable."

Freedom pioneer. All things towards #Freedom.
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes (extracts / gems) from great #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites from all around the world towards
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.
