re: Trust in Fediverse seems is fading - AND not being built on as relationships / networks etc - Here are my workings and estimations...
@infosec_jcp [UPDATED - Nothing major]
Points, each starting with █:
█ I might be interested in adding to my list & discussion - but probably more organically and accurately finding those already interested else its over-extending one's welcome more often than not or pushing my agenda it seems to improve ourselves or find something relative to do.
█ ...the three feeds under the 🌐 icon?
Not sure what you mean but if you are suggesting the Global Feeds (Federated) to find interest randomly and view this feed, then yeah it can work and also a bit jumping in desperation to 'find friends' which is hit and miss...
People like work and projects to put that as focus but relationships like that can end as soon as work does (so no use any person sometimes, just adding to open source).
Global or random does not really seem relative enough (though nothing seemingly is!) though for sure more people I can follow AND THEN comment etc and see what happens... I guess I'm coming from already trying and spending energy or using people for "my own mission" (it's not their mission basically)... but maybe
Hashtags I'd say are a good way too with some global feeds occasionally... but really it's for others to do some work and even have faith / test some trust.
I dare say they are all weak in this way and strong in too common ways.
█ "If you are interested in following news here"...
Will have a look but what news?
Just following news? In general I'd like a way for contact and improve humans who want to do that themselves, and to put it in a short way "align themselves" since most is crooked / built by bloat etc...
so following and communicating needs all these things in the mix... a big ask I know.
█ ...ideally "they" (a group and some individuals) also come to me... but who really knows what a Freeschool is basically from 60's 70's and wants all-in almost with it's definition or to help new forms of it? ➡️ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=freeschool )
Who wants to use time literally to marathon explore ideas until we find "it" in between what they do already and that being the way to use less-expert masses as well as existing specialists.
█now it seems groups and causes only ask for money / donations 🤣 and nothign else... which is fine until it's only that 🙄 and not even way to feedback or uses the opposite-to-cause 3rd party platforms.
I've literally replied to all the these causes, and they have one or 2 replies back IF THAT. Mention money and you get a reply.
Some I'm part of this bad loop / dead end and it's just excuses for not doing human work which yes someone has to do... not willing to do the human work / stick to money or nothing is crap- from #RMS to unreplied #Email newsletters, even request feedback - just not much at all...
#AralBalkan and all those too busy or in their own thing, we need to unlock into something people process a bit better... but whatever... money or nothing mostly for the now...
█ Have you talked to some #fediverse server admins about their experience here on the fediverse vs. the Oligarch Controlled web hosting platforms?
Yep mostly on the money side - #Stux and some #FreeTrade people didn't understand all money starts out as debt (need to buy it first / get a loan).
#Gargron not seeing interest in suggesting to others to not use google on a not-for profit platform (Mastodon)... or using existing open source #Invidious links as simple recommendation post or option in Mastodon to auto-add alternative links or just anything to point people or software in the right leanings...
Paraphrasing (was a short reply) he said "I don't see why I should suggest to others, it's their link" as if ethos or software wasn't part of this and conversion should continue after you get software and then add lots of commercial links like an ad-farm on top (and I'm trying not to be umbrella extreme here but we're just becoming farms for them or do the same we would on twitter).
So if Mastodon can spend energy and time to sue people using Mastodon software incorrectly, perhaps they can defend a bit against companies scraping their platform and instances or have some PR about links?...)
Who else... let's say all I've come in contact with or throw myself into conversation lol
Although I accept my own analysis is limited, could be more etc and as you suggest "observe for longer" my answer is still NO THEIR LEVEL IS NOT ENOUGH BY FAR, to the an extent I'm sure people are too busy (I've analysed this too) from family, lack of sleep to everything else on top... which is why you / I have to sort everything eventually as a kind of therapy and alignment. Capitalism is sustaining people but not nourishing / encouraging love for their body etc... ok will cut it there...
█ feel free to DM people if you know them and they would want to reading this - it could be a kind of qualification to contacting me... as most read only short stuff like a type of short-sightedness or inability to filter while stll caring.
You are / were literally 1 in 100 in terms of speed / content etc.
█ Let's see how long you last too (
) said nicely here and all in the positive spectrum even if seemingly it sounds that it's not.
"I love talking to people, but I really need some quiet to recover afterwards."
- Scott Francis @darkuncle
Jobs cannot solve things totally if puts you out of a job...!
This means often people and #Government need to prolong problems or extend existing ways to keep alive and keep their job!
Play it too fair as individual or suggest a great idea at work and you can measurably show you're obsolete and even lose your job. So since as you are not needed and they see now they can do the job without you a bit of down-sizing (and being cut out) happens. Robots and machines are one more direct example but even good ideas can be similar replacement for a person.
Brutal and simple it means companies and individuals do a lot of other stuff that isn't in the usual moral interest at all to solve THIS problem (of needing employment before anything)...
(Governments and people at the top especially are stuck in a paradox face with risking their position for any big real ideas or implementation)
It explains also why less-deserving people get promoted and I've see this first hand as undoubtedly the best in the department has not been promoted and sent to top (for years) because there is probably at lost of risk they will set things straight / be too good and if they are not full of bad attitude they will not continue that flavour of hierarchy and even propose it bravely.
Imagine if #politics actually reduced or solved problems - it would put people out of a Governmental job ! - make things too efficient for them) because it is actually possible to run things without using existing methods and techniques without so many people paid or layers / hierarchy etc... so when people talk about problems they don't see those people need to prolong them else cut themselves out of the loop (even with some re-inventing or moving possible - who wants to risk that in a shrinking employment market ⬅️ if that's true or it's simply not easy to change / find new employer / relocate / start again).
It's similar to manufacturing, make a good product - as there is not always enough market for them to buy in a years or that people will even buy from you again later... so do you need a monopoly and attachment with it (right!?)
Solving problems is a problem in itself when people using jobs to stay alive and therefore HAVE TO CAUSE PROBLEMS TO THEN CLEAR IT UP.
GOOD PEOPLE AND ARTISTS DIE DOING THINGS TOO EFFICIENTLY AND HAVE TO CONSTANTLY "RE-INVENT THEMSELVES" WHICH IS LIMITED ALSO !
#Conversation #realisation
#politics or even normal #jobs
you know how when you're thinking about getting a tattoo, a good question to ask is "would this be better as a t-shirt"?
the fedi equivalent is "would this reply be better as a new post"?
@realcaseyrollins @graf @sim oops yeah - apologise and 🏃 I exit fast if all is fine with all!
Over-reacting to someone assuming the "fuck this guy" comment is somewhat more / or less what you meant?...
@realcaseyrollins @sim @graf Just about this post and image of conversation, seems all good but, if I got it right, the "fuck this guy" comes into play (quite logically somewhat) but perhaps said not as hard as others hear it) so you adjusted the meaning (great all good) but then suddenly graf someone else listen suggests a racial thing and you go into that... almost over-reacting to someone assuming "fuck this guy" is somewhat more / or less what you meant.
Seems like terminating a conversation way more than needed / going on a tangent. even when a person is being useful or trying to be... Do you get what I mean how this is unfair or just generally negative? ( and this comment not being a big deal either )
Mostly asking to see if worth following more (as I guess words and meanings do need to match somewhat)

re: Trust in Fediverse seems is fading - AND not being built on as relationships / networks etc - Here are my workings and estimations...
@infosec_jcp @freemo █I'm not asking my admin for more - asked / begged enough as nice as what I got back is - I think there is a definite line and even worse not drawn quite clearly - it's more machines for the way than therapy / building from our server colony / population
█ I'm also deleting freemo as name-mention from these subsequent replies so he would have got first few which I think is enough if interested. He's also busy with other stuff right now (as much as I know and can 'speak' for him in limited way)
█ Like I've said on my posts "the business of growing people" vs. "growing of something else mostly government based" I think is the distinction I want to hear and from people
█🙋♂️ This hand up emoji - wondering what it means here at the beginning and end of message? Not too bothered or 2nd guessing you - but just making sure if this is a political gesture, just say, so it's clear as I don't see it often and you had the wave there already.
re: Trust in Fediverse seems is fading - AND not being built on as relationships / networks etc - Here are my workings and estimations...
@infosec_jcp @freemo █For sure I don't assume everything unproductive is not good or if I don't see it or some result "for me" then it's bad - but just overall like for a while (most of my life) and a whole generation of people (me included) we got wrapped up in Playstation or fiddling with windows (or newer version as Linux included) and types of "more of the same or a bit better" and as humans (including Admins) they mostly left behind humanity or less space for it or can't do more which I sympathise a bit but now they have to undo that now they have things mostly running and need to di it less...
I guess the level in person (across the board from street, church, parents etc) can't do than 2 mins chat or have distanced-belief that even if you get to the "yeah you're right" stage that they can go to "this is really the way as cringe as this is- it's humans not computers FTW MOSTLY!" - especially now we have all the tools we can run out so easily as own instances for a #jitsi chat or #docker 1 click type service etc (though that's really more recent to be honest - even a year maybe to be known or implemented)...
re: Trust in Fediverse seems is fading - AND not being built on as relationships / networks etc - Here are my workings and estimations...
@infosec_jcp @freemo Thanks - will reply first to not lose touch and work backwards in response which I like from what I see flying through it and your suggestions...
Will write more in a moment and adding more to it (though the first you got well enough) and I think revisions don't offer much more right now) and will delete revision as I go... kind of to gain eye-balls as working copies and as a backup as I type too... more in a bit...
Trust in Fediverse seems is fading - AND not being built on as relationships / networks etc - Here are my workings and estimations...
(Hope I'm not projecting this)
Consider it as a work in progress my dear
VERSION 2
(will increment this as I type today) - food for thought...
Hard to see what you see but I guess you use #Fediverse
not much more than a few messages - and probably think "why do I need to more?" and "Not my fault if this place fall apart / dies / gets eaten for the same reasons as seen before (take overs / mergers / invaders etc) -
"HEY it should all run without my care / attention / participation to it all! "
TLDR: Below is reasoning of which general group on Fediverse you might fall into (and briefly your mindset / focus which is why you might appear to care whether it's true or not) and also what's going wrong added to under the categories
All as I see / experienced / experiencing in response to my ideas given in general, responses to my ideas or observations from interactions with others (or lack of) without my involvement. Limited but at least closer to first / second hard without any big stake in it other than doing something about XYZ invasions / potentials / building trust in ourselves...
==========================
TLDR (bit longer - or skip to next section)
==========================
Basically groups of people who moved over from Twitter cold-turkey from rug-pull type stuff or more intentionally and just Fediverse here now in a similar same way (not really building anything and being mostly user /consumer only)...
and those who *might* realise or not that as time goes on their time here is running out on Fediverse too as and bigger players are simply moving next door / shifting operations (literally Twitter, FB, Meta, Google / Alphabet Group going to dragnet and just move here / use us even more)
And continue to index the fuck out of us with near no-attempt by admins or users to protect us / themselves / their users from data-scraping / #AI stuff (some we can't see but you know their patterns of profit are undoubted and their existence is their own definition of their own existence ⬅️ yes that's clever )... STOP READING if you don't agree with this.
STOP READING if you think predators or war makers changed their stripes and now their intentions are much better and it's not that bad, they wouldn't be so cut-throat in the more-civilised ways of playing off people against themselves to gobble us like a Pacman dots all the while...
●☻●☻●☻●☻
◌ ◌ ◌ ◌ ◌
Commercialism's comforts has basically blinded us / made us think it's all ok and doable using their ways.
Anyway here is more on this:
=====================
Groups and basic reasoning why
=====================
█"Boys and Toys" (Computers or similar "This is all going to help" or "this is my fun leave me alone")
█Gamers, FPS shooters - like war playing is ok for so long or ever justified emptying so much time on (we've all been their, now it's time to get out)
█Hobbiest / Modders / Fiddlers (PC. #Retro. #Retrocomputing, #PCB, #Lights etc)... some genuine hacks we might use "one day" but still their communication is probably limited "like why should I look into anything else other my family and hobbies?"
█#Computing News ("oh wow this could really save the world again" stuff or "oh my god look what they are doing now... let me re-tweet it.... I mean "boost")
█(etc etc... overall humans who are interacting with non-humans as main material - doing the consumption of time and interaction while not seeing the human sides are lacking as a result - directly communication and therefore #trust #friendship #solidarity #new systems etc - Advanced users can also be just users with users under them as an instance.
AND ALL here not caring to interact much, few posts back and forth MAX. Not many marathon runners - if you feel bad about this comment you might have been 1 of ?0 I contact during each month directly offering / asking anything and everything to catch a bit of interest, even to dispel any doubts openly.
Verdict: "Humans are inefficient and imperfect therefore ignore them" / "why try it's futile" types of people)
█Bourgeois (Too rich or Rich enough upper-middle class - don't want to rock any boats and happy where they are.
Why spend time on those below me or those non-family people?
Me talk to non-blood related people or think of "1 love" humanity - naaaa)
ANSWER: Like Martial Arts halls you can improve the lower belts by training with them and thos that stick around can be like family who then come up and fight with you / teach next calls or generation... it's not business deal always, but if you treat life like that then it will be just buying / selling people... which we know doesn't work well / ignores the mind or general issues of suffering by people...
Nobody wants to do these things actively apart from a few posts.
█Alternative sexuality- #Trans #Anime #Fans # #Women #Transgender #rights #Hate #Bigotry #Violence #Genocide #Discrimination #Homophobia #Transphobia #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA ... etc
People who escaped from masses of others not quite accepting or upto speed...
More active, vocal and trying that others... probably because their life depends on it and sexuality in danger by those confused by new and strange purely from not having experience / learning from mainstream.
#Anti #Capitalism #AnarchoCapitalism #Fascism
+
#Privacy #Surveillance etc 🚨
all kind of the same and self explanatory
...just some just news echoes or some trying to do it all on their own mostly (which does make sense remember you need lower echelon as cringe as we might be).
#shitposters #poast #kiwifarms
A strong potential as already superior in activity and communication (yes even in making sense from things despite profile or server suggesting otherwise). Clever not just in humour or in killing time. A ton of stuff simply to view and ignore without big feelings.
#War spectators - action watching
#Politics #uspol Trump #Democracy #canadasrfaright #Equality #Law #Gov #EU etc no need say more - you know why you watch this stuff rather than work on something with us (in the other groups)
#more to come today... will revise or add new post v soon... follow with notification if important to you (switch off if it's ever bullshit)
=================
EXPLAINED STUFF / DISCLAIMER
(or skip to next section...)
=================
I included the word "you" here to make it "a bit more personal" so you question yourself to which category listed you fall in - and ask yourself if I'm approximately right (?).
It's totally ok to say this to yourself but consider coming out of your zone of comfort.
Made from first hand experience (attempts) and previous measured bias = a list of groups (on Fediverse but general groups too) who are perhaps not doing enough BUT also doing the opposite to their own ethos sometimes (much like Facebook while anti-Facebook and posting there a lot).
I estimate these groups as main reasons why for overall relationships / groups / networks are not to my level of expectation (while still leaving room for other group and reasons)
==================
EXAMPLES OF SLACKNESS / NO FIGHTBACK OF EVEN EASY STUFF
==================
Like "no consent" or simple footer for "no permission granted" or "information is not for scraping or used commercially" or CC-BY-SA-NC).
This includes Eugene / Gargon + my admin @freemo who I've asked a good while back either about Google links here feeding the commercial farms (Gargron) or adding a footer to our particular server (freemo).
How bad do people want to keep Fediverse and is there enough people to hold it? Right now, as conversation I'm not sure.
As admins and few conscious yes, but without help of masses and "upgrading" your users then your users are the weak point and we'll just move to the next thing or stick to being "bridged" ( #BlueSkyBridge #BlueSky #Threads )
I reserve right to correct myself or see if anyone has a good comeback to justify changing this - all is from positive want for better / more reasoning... but my account shows what I've tried a lot... I don't many other to call their account and try for these 'upgrade the weak-points' type of things called users...
users being just are not enough and we can encourage more!

@szescstopni LOL THAT MADE MY DAY...
You have a knack for doing that even if I don't click these links from BBC, Guardian (mostly commercial now and pushed around / echoed and copied and pasted like youtube templates for videos)...
The art of doing nothing in Capitalism... I was thinking about this as a chess strategy...
"On a strict definition this of course isn't really possible. We are compelled to make moves. It is, however, possible just to shuffle a piece backwards and forwards.
As you might expect this isn't a very successful strategy for any reasonable form of the game."
https://lichess.org/@/Schadenfreude__gut/blog/the-art-of-doing-nothing/S3kDTqDF #Chess #Lichess #Capitalism #War #Quote
I thought the above #quote was the best part without diving into the chessy stuff...
And in real life, "killing time" or "killing the clock" = choosing the right games = not playing into capitalism's hands = not selling your time too fast or paying endless rent (doing any game more controlled and in a better way than all of it taxed).
Writing this was hard as it seems "the end justifies the means" but for sure Capitalism holds all the squares and if Fediverse people won't listen or unite... then really don't try too hard... it's a lost game UNLESS you find really a sure way else you're creating another business that is the business template of Governments - very well designed (and yes "please sign here" means to jump into the fire before any progress even begins!)
If you can find a minimal way to live (like not pay rent) THAT IS A BIG +).... instead of Berlin prices...
So instead make your own work... work on your notes, re-thinking, re-writing stuff = you win and capitalism loses... while you MUST ACCEPT there are not real winners - and you might have to end it also - because they will also or committed to the negative debt-based society anyway.
That's why people "have no time" or spent it on making a family based on debt or paying forever.
Just not jumping into big traps or accelerating debt is A BIG PLUS but I don't claim you don't work or find some things to do / volunteer for, sports... asking people for help personally.
So you accept your death even if you live for a bit more, and try don't play too fast into INDEBT-ing yourself and obligations, not signing your name to too many known bad things (if any...)
If you can find the balance, the right platform to share. think about involving others... do that if safe enough. [ Direct messages for example can't be easily scraped and copied to search engines... ]
Capitalism wants your DATA to WORK AND TO...
... PAY FOR YOUR RENT / EXISTENCE
... PAY LANDLORDS RENT
... PAY INCREASING ELECTRICITY
... TO PAY FOR LIFE 10 TIMES OVER! LITERALLY AS BANKS RE-LEND YOUR MONEY AND DILUTE IT'S VALUE!
Doing nothing (doing less) is not a bad plan IF YOUR SERIOUS ON FINDING SOMETHING ELSE (MAYBE BETWEEN PEOPLE BUT DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH) AND LITERALLY DO IT ON A SHOE STRING / MINIMAL SETUP.
@bhawthorne @darius @martincrownover @kissane
while that outcome is possible, I don't think it's likely, because a large number of users would instead say "oh ho, you're going to monetise us as well as ask for donations? Well eff you, no more donations or buying #merchtodon, I'm going to move to another instance, block mastodon.social, and encourage others to do the same."
There's nothing stopping users at the individual level from removing access to their content from any instance that chooses to monetise through advertising.
We had these arguments waaaaay back when #LiveJournal sold out and started showing ads, after years of swearing they never would, but the interoperability of LJ codebase sites was imperfect, Facebook was stealing people's social graph, and sadly that community hub never recovered.
Fedi is imperfect, but people are starting to understand that we have tools at both server and user level to fight back against corporate capture. Spam and other issues I'm more concerned by, but so far Fedi has been doing pretty well there too, I think.
@laurenshof @askans Oh man, me reading that you could have DM'd is one of those naturally obvious things that are easy to overlook perhaps and ironic talking about the messaging software in hindsight to meeting. But I'm sure more have met and will do as a result in future so all good!

"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.

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!

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.
