I'm gradually extricating myself from Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp (the first two of which I have not been active on for a long while anyway). This link is great for explaining to people why I am leaving Meta. Thanks to @kappazeta for telling me about it. https://freefediverse.org/index.php/Nightmares
#Meta
Deleted my X, Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Amazon accounts. These had been dormant for a long while with statements posted on them saying why I was no longer using them and redirects to my Fediverse accounts urging friends to join me (with some success). But now they are deleted. For those who have not yet done this, I recommend the good feeling you get!

Users are the biggest weakness of any network / Improving user trust is the #1 solution to larger systems of people who fail to share their future AND are not building trust at all... more than just Modern Capitalism right?
Lately I've had a few good posts about why #systems are failing and missing out the humans themselves. A few post titles are below and short points first.
TLDR:
➡️ User-to-User interaction and progress needed on any network else people stay weak
➡️ personal contact / match-making of some kind needed by individuals and dedicated ppl
➡️ encouraging closer relativity / mutuality and from that projects naturally...
➡️ mutual growing people is essential for wider society, skills and mindset
➡️ not just growing machines!
(that is the way to Matrix!)
Titles and links below:
1 ➡️ #Social systems / #p2p fails when the #users themselves are not regularly doing the #trust work #peertopeer and constructively themselves not building that - just consuming media or just on the #Trump hashtag while leaders steal our #future.
Having "system" is not enough We need people or events to get together others together much like online seminars, circles or conferences help 'push' people together or at least see mutuality more clearly.
📋 Post: https://qoto.org/@freeschool/113823713534235778
2 ➡️ Real work is done ON the users and admin themselves (people change).
It's also NOT about expanding #google on everything or using #BigTech to expand without much mindset change - we need more non-#AWS stuff knowing later that US space is a big #problem / #compromised.
The people-to-people work is doing better stuff than just 'machines' as the main work, coding re-coding the same shit while people stay behind.
Communication daily rather than #massstorage #McDonalds...
📋 Post: https://qoto.org/@freeschool/113823094138379891
3 ➡️ Up to us not waiting for leaders or others forever...
Who's ready to build and build with trust? We need to work with those that can actually start and increase, and respond to reason better. Not waiting for history to repeat itself.

These post are so deliciously close to the Holy Grail of togetherness or solving things... saying what needs doing and growing people is the way forward.
Others growing others mean:
#informal apprenticeship /
#better #examples of each other etc.
But also practically giving ourselves more hints what to do each day or with each other (2 main branches) rather than default "job" and statesmen and middle-people in between who ultimately ruin / misuse it all.
My experience is that even fans or mutual appreciators don't seem to be able to get past a certain level and currently paranoia or "I'm busy" excuses happens (until people see how they can use others) but overall it's about how we all work for each other by building each other up and eventually doing more, especially as all the while communication improves (#1 solution to many things I think).
It's about motivation and enjoyment to from that and then suddenly people are not as busy because they make it part of their life.
As usual I write more which I believe Freemo helps shorten for people.
I see the potential from other admins (who generally are more clever / multi-talented / able to multi-task) and users (who can
rrbe better or are clever in-the-waiting) to not miss the obvious point of social improvement but being / living in more of a two-way action and more 'manually' and deliberately doing it each day - it's not any system
Beyond messaging, Automatic things systems cannot do what human need after ability to contact and see each other's profile and work.
So even if it's looking a 1 profile a week more closely and trying to work with them / help or having a broader spectrum of open-access with other... Then slowly but surely real work (people change) happens.
From #KeyboardWarriors to #Techies to #Carers all people are already doing something we might want to be part of or integrate / bridge together - and as a mix of people we're superior to just floating individual having mostly non-dedicated parts of life and one-way / one-message interaction as a way to get away from outside life that I think all this post helps get better inside and out.
"Improving user-to-user interaction" is the main work.
We can do as a main part of 'working' socially which traditionally isn't what today's #Capitalist "jobs" do..
(because "jobs" are more narrow fields / definitions / contracts of work towards profit mainly and at the cost of everything else almost along the way - including emptying the human they use like a battery at the end).
Deliberately-social messaging has benefits which I think people themselves/admins are not doing because, simply others are not doing it.
Once people do it I believe nire will do it (not all).
I believe people love to see progress in themselves and others and doing it gives others the power / potential to help fix things instead of stay #victim of #Capitalism (which is what you see a lot of posts about, powerless).
Everything in their life can be fixed but has to come from this slowly but surely approach while improving friendship or respect (even from afar, lower level to high and vice-versa).
The people work is social change and like human resources we have it largely unused online as I see it. So while it's not for everyone here
THERE IS PLENTY OF PEOPLE
and from those 'peer-to-peer- type post titles mentioned at the start I'd like to ask #Freemo about this more as I see him as a potential Captain of the football team because basically he's solid enough already which we all need as leader or moderator and so often on the mark.
He has a sense of morality when even if you wouldn't agree you'd thank him for being far clearer, less emotionally capsizing, and more transparent than the other 'leaders' we see currently everywhere.
So #Freemo does seem to do this work often anyway even if it's a small way and I feel people leave better from conversation and do come back again too (supply and demand!...) so why not this as a part-time thing or helping me to do it with his advice?
Points welcome even if it seems too dreamy... it seems totally doable even if slow-burn...
Cheers #Freemo and here's to you in general!
And I know you have #CleverThis - this is not ignoring that, but a I think you also need a non-company version as "Ask Freemo" / "Free School" (#AskFreemo / #FreeSchool) as not everyone likes to play that #state games of first jumping into a company but can contribute or get there eventually from other safer or less embedded ways...
Better than us spending too much time on hashtags watching #musk #trump etc getting sucked into their attention and spreading their shit words instead of good ones...
Ok that's it - just sending for now, with your help will re-edit / shorten if you can guide a bit / re-say it / cut it down (even if not totally doing it now - just helps me find more meaning and people who obvious see other people as the main 'problem' to solve / improve #mutually from fault of bad people but also the good not working on making something for good in *this* people-to-people way...
Users are the biggest weakness of a network / Improving user trust is the #1 solution to large systems of people who fail to share their futures AND are not building trust at all... to really do more than Modern Capitalism

Words of wisdom (MY WORDS):
Everything is easier when you test it
Everything is easier when you know *how* to test it
Everything is clearer when you give it more time and respect.
Everything is easier when you know what it's for and what it means to others (both how to test / ask and how to respect)...
Everything is easier when you know how... yes so participation with me or others allows you to know things, then it's easier and clearer to make your decision(s).
Humans effect everything much more globally (now that money etc funnels things more than ever) and often it's a copy of people getting coralled into the same bad ways (the Gov template of catching it's fishes) - we need to know the bad / good and apply the right stuff daily so we don't get eaten alive.
I personally help whoever with almost anything mutual, it's your 'job' to enjoy what you like AND explore other things - I just ask and say what I like also.
I also edit other people's audio and video as basic cut and re-arrange them into different order for best bits or the wanted parts / highlights + name or transcribe them (audio to text).
------
I might ask why you want to follow me so be ready to say (0 engagement I don't understand the point of)
I'm here to make change, yours, mine, others.
What are you here for / Find out here / explore yourself...
====================
Freedom is also about undoing what has tricked us (put in place before we were born and somewhat enslaved or bound by). Learning regularly helps get your more understanding and rewards morality to get back some sense of meaning since much has been extracted out almost completely as part of pure-profit programmes or generally re-iterating power and control techniques.
The rest to read is just extra. If you hate detail probably this is good for you.
Learning our geniune individuality and respecting it is some of the most essential parts of life!!!!!
------------ EXTRA BITS BELOW ---------
Right now in 2023 I've taken a back seat to the talking to people or giving feedback to everyone, and so given up while not totally given up.
I think education together is a major way.
Some of us speed up and have to wait for others to catch up or not try over-try too hard also to keep the peace often covered up or under the surface.
Free School has been proven over my lifetime as not needing to wait or only believe in others first. DIY = Do It Yourself or at least start... and then the advice or questions come anyway... Start snd Finish fast and people can see better there is progress... often the only thing stopping people in starting anything.
You can interact and ask. We 2 can make best together as free as possible to reach somewhere in thought where alone we might not so quickly.
I mostly create / edit community education audio podcast / music / videos / transcript text etc for good people or other podcasts.
Am offline more than on but still get msgs and still reply here- might take longer than I mention below
I do your audio / film work too for free if it's for the good. I can do it offline which is good.
Our place in the world is helped by others.
We enable it *for* others and some forge ahead alone also.
If you're interested in life this helps! get in touch if you are as
I like everything or to talk about it helps the world indirectly and directly!

@rasterweb Your profile says "programming since 1980!" ⬅️ holy smokes that's "back in the day", bet the eyes take a bit of a beating...
Was it all worth it? (assuming you still program?) :)
How about building trust - any interest in that?
Explaining Fediverse - using email and decentralization ?
@n00q Reasons why not to use this analogy?:
➡️ People don't understand #email to start with, so an analogy to try explain something else doesn't #help / makes it worse / more unclear.
➡️ #decentralization is still a fairly new word that needs proper explaining itself - it's a bit unclear / murky who owns #computer, what is it as level etc - it needs a basic-shape or diagram to explain it for various things as a kind of template.
A logo star #system version also helps see things in #Fediverse 'space'.
➡️ Pictures - They are generally easier for people.
I've made a few examples in the past - let me know if you want some random around this...
And if there's any specific reason you ask?
@gadgetboy Sounds like you know enough and more technically than me:
A few random / side balls:
➡️ moving over outbox.json
➡️ Meow Viewer to view Mastodon offline and person here: @meowViewer
https://purr.neocities.org/ helps See your archive offline AND search it (nothing else does this - not even Mastodon can view it's own archive 🙄 )
Nothing like twitter where you could view it ALL offline at least as last resort - or if you know let me know!
➡️ boost all your posts from old to new
Just some ideas...
It's not just about machines... It's not about not adverting ourselves... that feels true regardless of the bad variety...
@mookie@chow.fan True
But Fediverse it is lacking the fan or financial 'department' or people that can help others day to day- which is largely comes from people investing in others
Also respecting money makes this go around and doing that better is something - and is currently ignored and even shunned WHILE people only do money or nothing transactions here on serious level.
I'm against money truly (terrible material) but more and more I respect spreading the load to people as other people CAN do money for them and better than I could (hardly at all)- so we need some 'advertising' people and almost #enshitification with polar opposite while keeping it people orientated... else there's hardly a magnet here 🧲
So for all the open source- still ALL #systems miss people the $individual who will even work for free so we need a better #system and yes not just $ystem - and better focused people (I've given up on general folk now)
It's not just about machines... It's not about not adverting ourselves...
that feels true regardless of the bad variety...
🔴 free work for example
🔴 exchange / wants / needs
🔴 wishlists
🔴 almost free work listed somewhere dedicated / backed by core Mastodon
🔴 just something!
Anyone know where I can follow intelligent folks in these spaces?

- #politics #activism #organizing actionable plans to meaningfully engage
- #songwriting #Music production, #musicindustry
- #psychology and #science of #cults incl strategies to help someone leave
@jameslanman Wow I just posted about help about people in general - similar on how to "access the Fediverse" for working together more often on many of these levels... so for answers:
- I guess #hashtags help join people (like finding your post)
- but also needs you to find people and check profiles and message people...
not sure how else to customise it genuinely even en mass... unless your posts include some material related and you want for people to contact you - but it will be years that way alone!
So here's me as some of those but not 100% all in -
Most of Fediverse seems a bit of a flop for now in this non-specialist but together sense -
Hope you can prove me wrong
So it was a nice coincidence to see a shout -
my profile and posts will say at lot about what I think and why
➡️ see hashtag #freeschool
➡️ see media gallery https://qoto.org/web/@freeschool/with_replies
Let me know what you think / and what you're looking for as some examples in each of you categories? (like what about #comedians #publichealth #music?) ⬅️ all those need more clarity for me
And "...strategies to help someone leave" ⬅️ what does it mean?
Thanks
All here. Please ⭐ this toot if you value people 💓 just a bit more than cats on #caturday !

And the other answers:
➡️ yes this instance has unlimited text limit ( 65230 chars) and the CW is used to make things shorter / optional.
➡️ most of my toots are about unfairness - understanding it and then what to do about it
(in short it's therapy or circle here of being together online now that the "in-person" life is too conditional and too unhealthy / censored outside).
What can help solve things / everything are strangers and then optionally to make friends.
➡️ I do get it can be all too much - even answering this in one day - but checking hashtags in posts and skipping fast hopefully gets us there surely...
#symbiosis of sorts
Inflation - We're all fighting against inflation itself 💲 Inflation taxes and devalues all people for staying in the monetary system - a kind of trojan horse reducing value of our efforts during each year - compounding inflation!!... 💲📈
"Inflation" also means:
➡️ "Lack of elegance as a consequence of being pompous and puffed up with vanity"
Yeeeees! English sometimes does well to name what things like Inflation are really similar to as part of the same word! (Happens a lot)
We're all fighting against this artificially added tax and unfair pushing of people to their limits... 'maximising' people to death...

Great - Thanks for reply and enjoyed how meaningful is was (cup of tea and fast reading for the rest!)
Great - Thanks for reply and enjoyed the meaningfulness inside it... (cup of tea and fast reading for the rest!)
@juliewebgirl Super stuff. Because...
⭐ you replied
⭐ there is some meaning to it.
Often people have little reply and little meaning, and this is exactly what is lacking and what people want (without the effort lol)
I really enjoy the idea you could follow but skip things fast unless really everything always comes on your screen and bugs your conscious as mine does about caring stuff!
So part of the way forward in almost any sense - mine yours anyone else's - is that we can feel out something more meaningful in the world.
You can stop there - I'll draw a line but there's more below IF you can read fast and with humanity in mind as the overall project in some sense... which I accept isn't for everyone.
=====================================
ABOUT BUILDING HUMANITY BETTER ONLINE
=====================================
Often there is only us individuals to help build each other - little else to tell us what is right or from a genuine personal perspective. Nobody tells you straight like a stranger either.
It's not some external foreign thing either, like a State to take care of us. They don't.
Anyway now for "Summary of Points" from what you said in reply:
➡️ First is note that you also wrote a lot (which I enjoyed)
A bit of a smile to myself about how people like to write and do write well! (forgive those that write 'too well' but most is a genuine effort)
➡️ when it's THEIR thing it's fine to write 'long' hehe and that could be 'our thing' as #humanity because we're all part of the same whole usually in many ways and we could allow things more often to at least consider 'long' especially if never doing it)
➡️ Skipping stuff is fine!
Skip a lot! When you skip fast, you find fast!
Move to next arrow if you like!
You will find good stuff fast that way - skip to next ➡️
➡️ If life is like 'why bother' then I get that. See #Caturday pictures - that will suit those looking for pure bliss somewhat and those not wanting more than to superficially stay online and don't want actively to considering the real reasons why life if superficial 😃
We make life go around properly (or not)!
➡️ Surely don't follow me if 5 scrolls of my profile are absolutely terrible for you - but if you see I'm genuine and like it troubles your soul in a progressive way then that's different and needs a bit of care only in it's digestion and interaction (yes I write a lot) - a breather yes - but not ignoring
or being "I don't want you to teach me anything because I don't like feeling like I'm lower" - I get it!). A loose distant thing is fine!
➡️ My media page shows my edited pictures curated as a 'best of' gallery that helps see things differently / non-text version
🖼️ https://qoto.org/web/@freeschool/media
MAYBE AFTER pictures go to text from pictures (link at the bottom goes to post text) if relly wanting to know more how it's all #relative to us and usable in yOur life.
➡️ Naturally the computer or text format and interface is not as nice as pictures - I get the 'media gallery' might be the best way to view things at least at first 😉
➡️ I also enjoy the short BUT life is not that kind of self-practice / or journey.
Often why people HATE a lot (and do write long after that lol) is because people do learning the wrong way, and they expect short answers or only 1 answer per question (!) Is it that simple? Easily not.
So that expectation in itself is a problem and traps people to in turn expect themselves to get farther by doing less distance - nooo, short is circular / problematic / cat chasing tale / being chased by same cat / being afraid by own shadow.
It grates the eye to see long but the heart to feel understood or see progress in people. Sounds like I need you to feel good or have some condition but this is normal 'Ubuntu' (I am because you are / because of you I exist more)
⭕ Hard to see vicious circles but they are common, and even build up tension and lack of capacity which is why I'm defining it here (both for you / me / others)
⭕ Your life (and the children's lives) depend on it. (this is not to get you to follow or as ultimatum - it's just everyone effects everyone else although they don't want to claim credit for doing less of this stuff and then seeing more bad in the world (don't mean you exactly). If physical world is being cut off more and less spaces to talk, this is also why things can get a bit longer here online since there is no real community in mostly places and all financially born / dying without meaning keeping them alive.
➡️ Even with short time it's ⭐the way⭐ people spend it and how much care - so you wrote very nicely -
➡️ Writing more in return I can see as bad or 'oh God will it be like this every time' but just a one time thing now... and yes not to kill each other if we knew some of this! If you knew all, then definitely skip me and congrats for ace-ing it all already!
➡️ Some people will always blame that there's never enough. But it's the way they do things or don't do them properly and measured with right people.
➡️ If people are constantly ditching people instead of investing ⏱️ - what do you get?
Easy to say #Trump #Musk type of solutions - but other people are hardly going to grow 🟠 oranges for each as fruit or wisdom that way! And probably just throw each other tomatoes instead going nowhere arguing over orange buffoons!
➡️ THERE IS A TON OF TIME IN LIFE ! Investing it helps everyone /everything.
Otherwise we see what we get! (lemons 🍋 🍋 🍋 and not even #lemonade at the end!)
FINALLY
➡️ Clearly we all need help in everything...
➡️ Together we can do it.
I trust you know best after this and it's clearer. Come back soon etc...

Flying My Colors
#Quote #Patriotism #USPol #Elections #Trump #Politics
💬 "Never in my lifetime have I witnessed a politician (or campaign) so focused on demonizing others. So relentless in belittling fellow candidates, other politicians, and any American citizens whose views and values differ from his own. So fashioned around whetting the public appetite for division and violence. So openly courting our worst human impulses."

Freedom. All things towards #Freedom.
#Notes #Quotes from great #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites (gems from all around the world towards freedom)
#FreeSchool hashtag = more
Communication pioneer (only because people don't reakky do it at any deep depth)
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.
