@molly0xfff Hi, just made a post:

"Missing from Fediverse?...
Trust... and Real Friendship"

Please let me know what you think from TLDR (just a few paragraphs at the beginning...)

See #Trust hashtag (the last post there) or post here:

Thanks

Q. TLDR What's missing from the #Fediverse... ?

A. Trust...

As any "user" will know using the less-evil "systems" (those less invasive with near-0 #algorithms like Mastodon) makes things hit and miss here on the Fediverse... and it's going to be the same unless we change our work habits to work *with* each by investing time into each other, otherwise else we get ruled and divide alone...

We can entertain things *a bit more* without $tate cashing us in for every single transaction we make - which is never helping anyone and actually takes away a lot of heat and real help overall.

(boost please for more work on this)

The rest is explained below but "Trust" and increasing #Friendships seems to be what's needed / can't be left as it is.

We can achieve #Trust with visible #feedback comments / #testimony / #ProofOfWork / #credibility online (like if I do something bad someone says and we argue it).

If you can think about trust and if it's true then we can work on increasing it with most of what we have other than conscious effort on our part or as the #people #project.

To increase trust for those that want and see the point to increase participation in life...
( ...online then offline, one big circle 🔁 ).

⭐ My answer is to dedicate time to looking / talking / helping grow others more personally and that opens up much more and harmless from a distance until we meet more and more in person.

Really looking, and weaving ourselves together to form a bigger #mesh and #blanket of people... is for the way that we haven't seen regularly...

#Email, #IRC, #P2P, #XMPP, static websites, they are not enough ➡️ because people themselves can't do more than 1 or 2 replies max and get 'weirded out' at some point over their own shadow (or actually anything they choose). Because they are not focused on #friendship.

Same about #Mastodon or any part of #Fediverse not making people more deliberately part of the value and frankly just entertainment and education-without-action mostly.

EXAMPLE
Even posting this seems to make a like-minded person like @rysiek@mstdn.social / @rysiek@hackers.town
blocks me and actually creates animosity. Crazy and unsaid - why are people so afraid or whatever if even #rysiek a hacker doesn't even have courtesy to say why? Probably but shows life is losing meaning as everything is becoming unsaid and people considered worthless..

We (they) never really build on things doing things like that with people - or even get past the basic #communication hurdles. Even if people do some good work there is a lot they are not doing well with *people* (people not just tech).

The better examples of communication are from geeks or other "extreme" fans of stuff, especially in forums previously, because their mutual interest in hardware / software wok for things as a kind of #relationship
but that is still not enough as far as people bridging the gap...

More #relativity and #relationship is needed and real care curation... for #intelligence spread or people just growing their #dreams however they want.

We need something more on the people front. Not just cold #system.

People actually helping others improve by looking closely at each other's stuff and making a kind of better #understanding to link them to other things or even set it up for them!!

Helpful #critique helps for something #measurably usable for that person (not just stone throwing or misunderstanding for months or blocking quickly).

And not just me me me but, here try this for you you you!) ...

Where's the dedicated relativity here on Fediverse aside from one-way posts?

United it seems in hating #Trump #Bezos #Zuckerberg (go ahead look at how many posts are there) but how mny actuall build on each other's stuff?

Hating doesn't really count highly for me or they are just fear-reaction posts... when we need to positively build *ALSO*... else really get left with nothing.

One-way machine type #Tech talk isn't the only thing to invest in but people.

Ok plenty of fixes and advice happen here for devices but on the internals of people and 'other' fixes inside to love themselves or share with others deeper still feels very machine based. So something more daily as written sign or a space, time to check in...

The tough stuff is yonder inside the person who could be getting confidence from others to play with further more others. #Evangelism if you will (as there are plenty of #Tech angels here,..

Emotions, Emotional intelligence - to hear what people are saying or could be in other words and help train nuances / variances etc..

To say "nice one!" and occasionally rant is still not the improvement I mean or only a small part of it = it's not dedicated / organised... and even weird for others if 1 person says it rather than a group (#psychology at play)

Even if this trust and relativity just means just me and you seeding here and to do something more on that on the regular - even as a test and handout dreams and objectives - that's a heck of a lot more...

1/ ➡️ Up to us instead of waiting for others forever... the caliber of person, true isn't here, but who is ready to build trust maybe we could collect up?

People actually helping others improve in whatever way they can and find others that can, point toward appreciating them and their work - could there be anything better?

Nnow we're talking #social ..
#change

You can't even find any #free work here even if you post it...

People with websites question
why you even contacted them when they clearly say you can contact them - fucking crazy.

Mastodon people not writing in their profile they want pure peace so people keep trying them... Just write it in the post!

My attempts probably need 'legitimizing' as it's easy to blame myself - but surely all across Fediverse questions go unanswered and lost.

It should be good enough ANYONE can type, have hands or legs or just pure will to be able to be asked or given something to do - even create on top of existing things.
You can't even draw a picture and send it to someone.
A bit more dedicated plug-in-and-play into non-commercial work for the whole cause(s)...

Machines installed software CANNOT do the people work.

It's the same as email days here.. hit-and-miss lack-of-depth one-way communication
====================
Quick TLDR
====================
from a post I made asking my admin to work on improving / organising people more than just systems or AI expecting disorganised / disorderly people to do it better...

2/ ➡️ #p2p fails when #users are not doing #peertopeer themselves (having a system is not enough)

3/ ➡️ Real progress is the users and admin doing the people-to-people work daily rather than mass-storage #AWS McDonalds that doesn't encourage much more than the consumer style user storage and one-way writing more than empathy creating human harmony between our server or others...

Some of the above taken from my own notes:

NEEDING TO SKILL-UP

To increase emotional intelligence is one thing since we all start out with and without many skills -directly we need to teach and make that part of our instances... else just have slow progress as 'users' (and abusers actually with Techies included in not doing minimal human practice which catches up with us all one day).

A few people can really do good work on each instance and build trust and have it visible / tangible / witnessed...

My life proves people actually can't do many things like reply (low and lacking any depth) and the truth why, is not clear, so that needs to come out.

Lack of depth is killing other people and planet (without being a drama king or queen about it)

We really have to help others FULL STOP.

(yes some won't need but really all this tech is less useful without more depth)

The training / nudging of people daily on how to communicate or give example by making audio podcasts together - just something... already in line with what they want to do, retro game revival or whatever - just not playing alone and wasting time. Linux PlayStation also needs merging with People's streams....and work for us all more often *personally*.

What is measurably the potential (if not problem) on the #Fediverse is things like teaching / showing that pseudonyms are still real people, the avatar doesn't always represent someone totally etc etc and what all these scary #acronyms mean.

Help others say aloud if they doubt and resolve it.

#Tech and #Techies can be cold non-emotional / overly logical when dealing with humans and obviously this is barely human.

While I UNDERSTAND human 'imperfection' is crap compared to 'perfect' machine and seems more desirable, it's not and not sustainable or ethical. All jobs and people need to inject more humanity into their 'jobs' (which are their to strip and extract very specific usually-unhealthy things for state as profit)

"Positive feedback loop"
(Self-reinforcing feedback)

2 Examples; 🏦 #Bank run or #Panic from Animals running... 💰 🏃🏃🏃🏃

#Banks #Debt #Fake #Finance

#Finance creates #Poverty #Debt is just soft #slavery #Quote

" ... #loans, which were initially seen as a positive inflow of liquidity, quickly led to further financial obligations for many families. After all, #interest had to be paid on these loans.

Illegal lenders stepped in. The pressure on families became unbearable, leading to the sale of #land, #migration, the break-up of families and ultimately even #suicide."

💬 MY COMMENT
I think this is the same for all States that install or maintain the bank system which eventually simply delays all the #debt and reach limits of planet and people stressing and extracting each other for profit arguably getting not much further than if they did less and made less profit for a their state that spends /wastes it and more likely uses it for war and oppression economic 🏦 💰 or otherwise ✈️ 💣
