@libreleah Better example for first-timers to see how it works directly without adverts would be:
Or just a video link (same as normal youtube links):

@amerika I think this makes sense and why Euro it's people are mostly voting for #Fascists or #Fascistic things.... it's just business 😉
reddit is proprietary garbage, and full of spam.
i've shut down r/libreboot on reddit. nothing but endless silly there.
irc is all you need. we have an irc chat.
the best thing about the irc chat is it's much easier to moderate, and the inherently daunting nature of merely using irc, for the normies, means that the person coming there must really need/want to be there, and isn't going there to post things so frivolously.
that and our mailing list. we have that too.
no more reddit. good day.
We need cooperation / acknowledging others... or we die online... (Looking for a 'system' of respect / valuing others for the normal they do)
We need cooperation / acknowledging others... or we die online.
➡️ Even for the normal they do -
Everyone has things they can do more towards others instead of on their own / only as 1-way consumers.
➡️ 2+player-mode!
PLEASE don't treat us all as scammers and hackers - we're not!
If we really can't do cooperation.... how about 'rewards' (of some sort)
(I'm reaching here because we don't know how to accept help or give help or get trust a bit to increment or to talk to each other properly / deeply)
so then...
maybe some reward or 'something' for what we do to give us some "credit" or score for what we love or do already A LOT OF... like 9999 points -
People understand this like #ebay #feedback - it's just text tied to some type of transaction which doesn't have to be financial..... some text translation / audio editing / whatever for others / "This person did this for me and could for you too"
so hear me on this.... as reaching a bit for something else.... if people can't be intelligent to trust each other FIRST and build from that...
The problem is social = without real social. [currently Mastodon etc - it's just software not much organised to BRING people together, expecting unskilled people to make friends - Not happening]
One-way mostly.
We need something like attention for each other to discover what we can do or already do -
I saw "Attention Rewards" or similar
(call it anything)
but towards better communication on a aesthetic way yes but towards the real ways ..... our own version of #feedback tokens or something.... to keep us pumping each other up and doing things for the "us"
(the good individuals and even good businesses like #GrapheneOS phones / #Libreboot #laptops @libreleah etc..). I just saw Leah in her bio say "Judge me on the merits of my words and actions." ⬅️ yes that could be us online as various levels and fields - a #dojo class of various of people helping the upper and lower levels develop nice technique (not to kill each other but gain their respect to in the learning):
So what we are ALREADY looking at and feeling ok about ?
Can we do more of this and call it "Adverts" for us (like a as a #betterbusiness info post link 'advert' to leah?). I don't get any reply from leah so this is a good example both as a good person but also as no way to make friends of strangers or build anything... So what just business?
I don't mean adverts without a cause on #Mastodon but something 1-notch nearer - more than everyone scrambling now to be heard or make money - something that helps us work together since A LOT OF US HAVE TIME but we can't now because you are too scared or always waiting for a bigger '#verified checkmark' style logo system to helps us feel it's ok.
👤 You
(see how easy that was!) It's not about all-in trust and give your wallet over.
There could be a way for #admin to say "This person is ok in conversations I've had" as much as they can or anyone with frequent #experience... with the normal #caveats ....
BUT PLEASE don't treat us all as scammers and hackers - we're not!
I verify you with what I do and love and and you do you what you do and love - we share and verify each other (a bit like #Ubuntu phrase) e interests and with those interests we involve / evolve more people looking at more people's things (which we do anyway but as a movement like an 'OutReach' department of Mastodon or anything which I think it should have to teach people HOW TO BE SOCIAL!! Yes 'don't give credit card details etc!!" but DO TRUST THEM and part of their profile to some extent.
We verify each other anyway.
Why can't we do a bit more together?
I already do "adverts" for others off my own back so it would be nice if I got some recognition and acknowledgment.
This why I'm posting this as I don't exist to many. As many of us are dead or treated as excess to humanity without being professional coders or PhD in something... which could be a waste of time for a lot of what we can pool together like crowd-funding the resources and love for people / things... not just money.
I entertain something else to help us run around a bit more or add visible things we already do just because it's advertised well on this Brave page (still has lots of problems but have a look)
https://brave.com/brave-rewards/#brave-ads-appearance
(SEE PICTURE again with pinch of salt 🧂 )
Something to see respect for ourselves because we don't have it now - something to #credit people as runners / doers which even a dedicated admin person could do (I don't mean just "more adverts" but something like respect #communication and #cooperation #related doing the caring work people
🔈 maybe meetings also and let that be as evidence / practice / trust building even if there are nicknames - just to get things done and ACTUALLY TALK between us as MEASURABLE GOOD (and test ourselves and thoughts). Many of us don't actually do anything! So use us mutually after seeing last few month messages!
Without needing all-in TRUST
- something that we need to increment as #Trust daily (a token is not my 1st choice but you see how people go for it) otherwise we stay far too isolated... so something really better
Or Else... Fediverse ends up not trusting anyone either but a few #Caturday people momentarily
So the learning more about those good connected as THE #work / and adverts (to ourselves) is much like following others) to helps a better #web / #ecosystem...
So not google #syndication etc but our own really transparent flow charts of what we already do and see. #Goodpeople.
Ideally I'd like #Mastodon or projects to help people actually do social (it's quite empty here, plenty of #posts but not real #interaction and inter-personal #solving things, improving language, allowing like-minded strangers to help)...
So this post we about finding what isn't 100% in #Brave but right idea that we need to INVOLVE all good #Fediverse people and 1 by 1 see them for what they are and use them for our causes. Else we wait for slow death as a better twitter and don't actually cooperate together for next steps or finding next steps...

https://brave.com/brave-rewards/#brave-ads-appearance only as a guideline to something we could do to respect others... forget the #crypto part if too averse but think #positive things what could help us...
@bibliolater #AI = might still use a lot of people doing things manually behind the scenes
And be based on a history of using people's trust.
Even if bettering automation in its own way slowly - for #trust it's far from something you can #trust with people doing things behind the scenes more like Wizard of Oz!
1- lack of data safety
2- lots of humans manually doing things and making it look like AI
3- telling it to do things the right way (#FarRight #Fascism included if owner is so inclined!)
Still humans behind the scenes either way and dangerously connects to other things...🚪🏃⚠️

@Tesseks I like it and just what I needed to read as a kind of gung-ho battle cry (to whatever I'm currentyl doing)
Didn't like one sentence at all "Death was cut tho' butter but my heart was pierced as if run through by a sword." which I saw just now you commented on...
But for what worked for me is the rest and enthused me in my work!
@TrueNorthSpice Yeah I see Just-in-Time access similar to American online storage space (#Amazon S3 #Azure etc) which all the back-ends are running on!
Reducing #BigTech or 'instant' types of usage is hard for #tech people and eventually us all
unless we use it for actually socialising online !

@TrueNorthSpice Yes, we're trying, but logistically, it's tough when we share a nearly 9,000 km border and centuries of deeply-entangled cross-border family and business ties. It's also going to be the work of many years (or decades).
@david_megginson @TrueNorthSpice Can you explain more exactly the context of this part please "He's the human embodiment of a random walk,..."? or is it basically like a drunk person doing nothing (only he's not drunk in this case but still wasting time you mean?)

@nando161 I kind of don't #blame them - it's like making fun of making f#un or #parodying one's self - because you get #attention.
People who invite #realtalk just don't get that #attention - the #left is also playing it's part needing these things to spread instead of actually #building their own trust and #testing people out / discovering our own #talents to snowball despite infiltration which is often quite clear or doesn't have to be all-in #trust.
Just looking at picture it's like for #fun, #dressingup, having nothing better to do - and well that is #social #online too - somewhat useless or just #emotion #provoking
- not actually doing much either way people.
@jbz Yeah this is a good point about #IBM and counting people for #genocide that I think they used with #machines or #computers?
All tech is used against us, no matter how it's about #Cats and fun pictures too - the programmers and coders behind a lot are not doing the people work or caring for interacting with people (so you get Mastodon etc void of much social and just good for spreadnig #caturday pics and bad news... a real problem if not doing the positives...
So not doing the people-improvement / #trust building / real social interaction to get better ourselves... is not happening (where is it?)
(and not wait for rich people or spread their #shit using #Mastodon either).
#FreeSchool for real social ✊
I'm looking for the decent fish that can talk more than 5mins.

@Maxfieldripken @EndIsraeliApartheid Where's this from please?
And can you expand on it a bit more?
"Free School" is a movement and hashtag continuing the 60's & 70's practice of educational living and learning life together towards #DIY & #Caring (at the same time).
#FreeSchool or https://qoto.org/web/tags/freeschool = #Fediverse #Notes #Quotes #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites towards #Freedom
#FreeSchool is my continuation as living personal collection of post gems and quotes that offer people's one-line summary with short CW titles and then longer forms of writing optionally with "show more" button
Hashtags +#AltText when I remember) and now I'm using a Bot in 2025 which reminds me when I haven't added AltText.
If you want a great film documentary which I like almost 100%, then below is a story towards humanity by showing Capitalism and personal experience of it's effect locally.

I think we can solve most of it ourselves (we don't need to wait forever for leaders and rich people to change because they won't and they already decided!)... IF ONLY we start talking together then we can do it and snowball good things on Fedi!
Getting higher in our own personal understanding and more together is 'the better way'.
FreeSchool is an #Art of #Life of sorts in whatever way that suits and directs the individual towards more community and freedoms.

Enough of the material work, time to work on the mind, care at the same time as ALL work...
