#Talking to yourself and being #alone is mostly the reality...
You just have to increment something yourself, #best as you can...
...And _maybe_ it's about waiting for other people to participate in the conversation and in actually the creation of life, instead of taking it in the ass and complaining...
I say this as many are staying as victim too, by just watching and participating in talking about these people listed below but not finding themselves to build upon other than spreading the shit of #Trump #Musk #Bezos #Cook #AlexJones #Zuckerberg etc
Although I admit "that's where the #people are at" so somewhat having a #party 🥳 🥳 🥳 for the #shitshow they make for us to echo. Tempting for some.
But overall shitshow party doesn't increase trust and #friendship between us without enemy and we're #alone again without them... 💺💺💺💺💺 💬

(I forgot to mention) Having a list of points - like a contents header would be good as a TLDR or preview of post- and also just for me in this post I list them (and because it's good for the memory to retype it). Thanks
What ANY #system misses as the whole point is the unique individual.
But then again, who actually wants to accept others as unique and endlessly come back to see how you can help them or even let them help you?!
♾️ infinity / #1by1 ? = #Fediverse
Humans change another human + Not just just change needed + Respecting / believing in the individual...
@info People are what bring other people to life, so for all the good points, and more than the bigger parts- just people that believe and stick with whatever other people so = change (human changes another human and group later if solid enough).
Not tech change anymore, we have enough, just need humans to do the "Human Resource" type work and actually be interested in them. Else like any 'system' it misses the whole point - the unique individual.
#fashionistas vs. repeaters vs. anyone that can reply over longer periods of time
@info Actually one of your measurably better posts as your defining something and it's behaviors and happens to be what I share.
No doubt you're genuine but also see you a kind of [something] where you did really well, more than most to communication but in my mind's filing system I put you in the old-forget style repetitive spectrum (I don't think you're old and you do care obviously but just for short writing that's the kind of feeling here only from lack of cruel retrying with people like me who can reply at least - THIS is exactly what normal people can't / don't want to do because it is very uncaring seemingly to go up again another persons thoughts if you can't continue to be open to work with them or make friends). So you're also a kind of virtue-signal person (although have lived and done great) and maybe I can't complain people don't want to do the further cruel stuff... bu then what else do you want?
The way I see it THERE'S NOBODY HERE and actually taking those that can _actually_ reply or do the cruel never-ending puzzle to get along - is basically the advanced work, almost bashing our heads nicely to find something else for each to do than their stale circulate loner life...
There is no magic "oh follow what #Hamish says" because it's then straight into a brick wall of #communication with him or others that find it hard or just don't understand someone in 1second so give up or just want to keep #repeating themselves without see that as circular too and not spiral.
Yes you're a #repeater and yes/no that is good and me also probably the same though I look for people, anyone that can respond.
AT THE END it's about who responds and can last. I've been in many circles and people not coming back or not able to stand others. That's where they stay at.
☑️ ALMOST NOTHING ELSE NEEDED BUT GENUINELY RESPONDING (we take what we can get here).
So this post serves as info but again if you're not going to talk more to those that stick with you, and even heckle, then you are kind of putting yourself in a #fashionistas type "hey look at me" and "look this is the problem, but I'm just going to send stuff out here and not respond to you" or after a while ignore you.
Not quite #fashionistas and name calling isn't the best way (it worked in your post but might not work here) but then "repeater" seems to fit well practically though doesn't have the "feel good factor" when people call others names (see trump and all like hashtags are where people spend time and waste it, never building their own thing). It's like calling people #trolls etc when they are not always (which not only doesn't help at all but let's them feel good and release their own stress without building on it). Those hashtags are full of those people.
Like your line line about being a "prat"... the definition is ok-ish but negative as a word somewhat so what has good points in post, did a touch of overwriting what you said if prat means stupid, irritating or ridiculous - which anyway also not what you meant or could of finished with more positively.
People really can't help being #stupid - no use focusing on it... maybe more positive is "check yourself" (encourages re-reading what to check) or "try to keep practical" ...etc
For now you're a good repeater but welcome you to say more..
You don't seem to get much replies - 0 for most... (shrug)
but then looking at mine is also low though I get to problem too but conclude we should get anyone that replies first.
Don't wait for others to grow a #spine and courage to write back. Else you're gonna die here and account expire.
If you see a better way than just the few above-average able to reply and building on/WITH THEM, then do say but no need for the same stuff we talked about before or referring me to forum if not much else is going to happen.
Time to look to do something ourselves, rather than act liek others and just heckle #trump #bezos #alexjones #musk #zuckerberg etc (just too many people occupying their time there go have a look but don't get sucked in!). It's apparently obvious people are a no-show despite looking like they were able to make an account on #Fediverse. We literally have to #DIY whatever we can between us 2 or 3.
Thanks in advance.
⌛ Pending accounts for years ...? ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛⌛⌛ (🔒 without follow)
#Mastodon #Tips #Problem

Q1. Do you have a lot of follow requests pending for years...?
⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛
Q2. Did you message people after follow and nothing back...?
@ ✉️ ? @ ✉️ ?@ ✉️ ?@ ✉️ ?@
💬 I notice for a long time that locked accounts had ⌛ icon after requesting (needing manual confirmation) but now noticed a lot of the same accounts are not locked ... and I can follow without request.
Yes it could just be a few accounts or people realised problems that people were stuck in ⌛ but also I tried double-checking to clarify by sending direct messages to people (and didn't get a reply).
So maybe something didn't work more than just people not wanting me to follow...
Maybe people are not getting requests (it's hard to say BUT i can say that many account NEVER got out of ⌛ - I was / am stuck half-following and that did seem odd)
Messaging them without reply can suggest incompatible / blocked server or something even if not all of them and people are just unresponsive many times.
So yes it's now better without lock but maybe of a bit of a sign something people realised - might be a bit stuck even with friendly servers (while I accept many might not say "I'm not sure about you or going to tell me "no" or manually message back) usually people want to just not have blank accounts...
Do you have also lots of ⌛ ?
Check in your follow list...
⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛ ⌛
☑️ Would be good if you could see / filter of 'not yet accepted' to check -
❌ But don't think you can check accounts pending statuses?
Right?
Would be better than left in #limbo ...

@JulianOliver Looks like the heads are misaligned :)
#GrapheneOS appears to be standing up to UK forensics, in this painful and "unprecedented" case which could see a UK journalist go to jail for not relinquishing the passphrase to his devices. Not only is withholding his basic human right, but he does it to protect his sources, and as ratified in the European Court of Human Rights.
@kitten_tech #GrapheneOS with Google Pixel ?
(yes I know a #Google phone but if really going for something modern-ish I heard everything is use against itself as hardcore anti and deeply thought-through list of things it seems) including sand-boxing and various privacy controls as default.

@StillIRise1963 Without dismissing your post at all, it's also almost like everyone is under fascism etc by the state find themselves under and funding directly or indirectly (or both).
It's a tough middle when fascism / capitalism / plutocracy etc (or whatever we call it here) that comes from everyone being under that and paying for their own mini version of the same thing you mention Israeli or not.
All are using things against people and though some are definitely directly visible and damaging it's actually the long term siphoning and cheating of people too that is really formidable as that also people feel they don't have choice mostly from being born into it (again - whether they understand it or not, see it or not).
No seemingly good choice and pyramids and ratios of the very same thing it seems.
Your Y / N question is valid but choosing no is not clear from such high level / top of the chain question.
For example my answer is to make friends with every on Fediverse while we can - but evidently this is not for you or anyone also which reflects people often don't want to do positives or everyday 'making friends' as "work" even if their lives depended on it. So we will reach the same big events though from the smaller of what people do and don't do.
Daily. You have a choice to make friends more strongly (risk always involved yes) but will you.
You see it's a hard one... we're all seemingly "fighting for a fascist" as any $tate or person that doesn't care or goes for the money more than making friends etc.

@nullagent Nice video - rather big 39mb (if it gets distributed and if it's true that's massive storage everywhere). If I'm not correct sorry.
Right now 39mb copied and even for time downloading for 30s is quite poor in terms of what it could be (there is a bit of comparison here but imagine longer video length on youtube or most places for 39mb and not 30seconds).
For speed, time downloading, Fediverse then consider a small version (like even 1/10th for small usage or small screens)
AND THEN if people want bigger version they can ask you for disposable version.
This is not a telling off :) I do care about big file size (if it gets copied around) and also I'm using minimal near modem speed so I was both delighted and disappointed for 30secs (took longer to download / most have probs playing that 9000kbs bitrate!)
What do you think for much small filesize first and then more if asked or linked elsewhere.
Good work in general.

@smallcircles I agree with the virtue signalling / feeling etc about #Capitalism... but...
...perhaps the more accurate definition is more #Plutocracy
(A political system governed by the wealthy people) or more specific Capitalism?
✒️ I made some notes about what Capitalism (free market) is - what do you think of these notes? and perhaps Plutocracy / another kind of Capitalism being more accurate? See post below ⬇️

@bodhipaksa It seems that everyday I read a new story about how some part of the US economy, health care, social security or justice system is just a madhouse where people are trying to extract the funnel the greatest amount of money into their own pockets. 🫣 How can this country function? 🤯

"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 🔁

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.
