BUT EVERYTHING IS USING US as THE PRODUCT so it's like reducing fuctionality even more going elsewhere...
@mastodonmigration @faraiwe
OK BUT for the average or unskilled (hell everyone ) EVERYTHING IS USING US AS THE PRODUCT - so it is a high bar like asking people not to use money - to jump into the unknown and rather smaller Fediverse is almost cutting themselves off... and hard ask I admit...
HELL even money is devaluing / diluted when we us it (#banks using us)
I.E. MONEY IS _U$ING_ US
I'm not trying to inflame just we're born into this wonky world and it's wonky right from our birth and parents that have no idea so hard to straighten that tree of growth from the funny maths they put on us and #cheat people... 🏦
#Cheating everywhere... Cutting our contacts seems even worse for people I'm sure if they think "well all of this is U$ING me" so might as well go with the "best" / biggest one and yeah they have more bells and whistles so they're not /totally/ wrong.
#Bluesky Funded by Russian money?... 💲RUBLE💲
" Blue sky’s principal funder Blockchain Capital LLC is run in part by Kirill Dorofeev, who also works for VK, Russia’s state #social network... "
+ more pictures in post credited at the end but the above quote is main point and my comments continue about #socialmedia and anything funded having problems,,,

Even though all money is dirty and banks ARE political and politically lending, we can choose the lesser evil, and it's something we need to solve that fund these things... #Fediverse
🎆 *Again* 🎆 ALL money is devaluing us every second by how banks use it behind our backs diluting the money by lending whether it's in Ru💲💲ia or U💲A as Dollars or ANY another kind of state #RUBbish like the #RUBLE.
It's all #STATE oppression and #BANKS are #cheating us mathematically and giving #negative maths / #debt - re-loaning what they don't have ETC....
ONCE we realise it's all a trap that they copy and paste in every country. them we can start to work on better politics whether it's money and who do #business with / get used and abuse by.
Banks are a kind #politics and #political allowed by States to build themselves (not the people) and they fund ALL #wars and don't fund #dialogue or #peace.

@rysiek Can you say more on why your wrotethat, or maybe "marketplace' if it was a place of "exchange" would be ok?

The tool you use effects the consumption + Example...
The tool you use effects the consumption...
so for example I am using a thin knife to eat from honey jar.
If I used a spoon it would be too much, too fast, and gone already.
It's unhealthy to eat so much sugar so soon so knife moderates that 🧠 🐝 and makes it more of a licky than a gob full.

For anyone looking to adjust their media diet, now’s a great time to consider escaping The Algorithms with RSS. Here are some of the blogs, newsletters, and independent news sites I follow: https://www.mollywhite.net/blogroll/
For feed readers, I use Inoreader, but there are many other good options.
What about the general perspective of 'making deals with such bullies will only lead to more trouble eventually or rope other things in more unclearly down the road"
Phrases like "You can't negotiate with bullies" etc come to mind... so just on that what do you think about peace not really being peace with obvious psychos... if putin is to some leel in your eyes...
In conclusion, essentially 1 in 5 respondents would rather use 25+ year-old software than what's current, which was the entire point behind this poll.
@topher Is this in regards to the post after this (about "Apple's product finishes look like the bottom, un-polished side of a granite countertop." hehe or were you talking about something else?
@topher It's a good idea for a 'why box' which also helps relativity on social or continuing (we often can forget why we liked the person or what post in first place1)
Also as minor point it might just get automated so anyway I ask a question immediately (short or copy/pasted) and if they don't reply to it then this is the answer to the request!
Twitter users quit and X-it 😃 [RSS links instead?]
Twitter users quit and X-it 😃
#Twitter #X #Exit ➡️ #JustDoIt #JustXIt
As alternative to X news use #RSS
(also works on on #Fediverse) or on mainstream sites like #Guardian (newspaper)
E.g. Guardian RSS link https://www.theguardian.com/rss
(not that I use that link at all as I'm more people orientated - there are enough link machines / people linkomg to the Guardian like #RMS)
Problem with Mr. Stallman (respectively] and similar onliners TLDR - LACK OF INTERACTION
TLDR LACK OF INTERACTION....
BUT TRY THIS LINK BELOW TO LEAD YOUR THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS ABOUT RMS
THAT'S THE TLDR AND MAIN REASONING.
Optional reading below if you can't try that link...
Example of #RMS or the many broadcast-only people right now... he's currently spewing the same news (as we all are somewhat and the *whole point of this post*) and there is no obvious connection to him or others about WHAT TO DO about it.
Richard Stallman's posts @rms)
Almost all things he posts is eventually overloading / overwhelming (beside some 'sign the petition' actions or whatever on Guardian.com I'm going to reduce those for now as something still not personal or WITH other people and "just another" website or machine to "interact" with).
Some people are more reachable about what they do or talk about from average #Fediverse person and personal even as FAQ audible response (hence my link here to try yourself).
Yes information and bad news. but what about something more personal with him or others who are currently using Fediverse as a 1-way-only 'social' machine and "broadcast only' puke.
Again, most of us do it but want for more,
AND as prevention would help him because most of the shittyness by others I see (often true fans who know their stuff) is this eventual lack of interaction or resolution of it FROM the distance,.
The day-to-day non-programming type building is needed (no wonder we're in the mess if it's kist programming pm;y or nothing between people).
So HE / WE SOMEWHAT as part of any movement should spear-head or ALLOW REAL SOCIAL since we're all repressed / limited by systems and searching for something more interactive or audible or constructive - not just same-same links and NEAR-NO INTERACTION.
TO BE CLEAR - Not just text, not just #programming, not just #Guardian newspaper, not just his website or my website... something more personal and #interactive like #question and #building for others too in #future something more #responsive (even if it's not him but us #together under his #template or people we are in line with and #respect).
I will happily take on your #critique and #comments if you can do at the Vocaroo.com link below as example of what I've like to see more of (or at all):
#RMS #Guardian #Link #Machine
#Interaction #Problem #Solution #Vocaroo
Useless people / People are losing value as individuals
⬇️ Useless people ⬇️
Useless people are not only because you or others have skills or not, but if system and people want it (or not).
Systems devalue many types of people and skill so even others wanted they can't find word.
#Futile #Jobs #Employment #Diversity
#Money #Banks ➡️ #Devalue #People
⬇️ People are losing value ⬇️
People are losing value as people / individuals themselves because now systems are more weighted according to what those controllers and "system" wants (doesn't want).
What systems don't provide (like diversity) means it's not just about your skills but if system and people want it.
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes from #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites all around #DIY Care# and #Caring as our main #Politics / #Politics

#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.
