@juliewebgirl I need to do this but with those that don't reply (like when someone doesn't reply at all even after asking again and saying it's ok either way - when it's just nothing).
So to do the cleaning are you just looking one by one from your settings ?
And if they are interesting do you consider sending a message ? Just everything is not always deliberate and Mastodon type interfaces can be a bit chaotic ? (they might find you again also but for those super-interesting maybe).
Thanks for any tips.

👤 Bertrand Russell TOPIC NOTES...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Russell
1 ➡️ #Authority and the #Individual
His series of six #broadcasts, titled Authority and the Individual, explored themes such as the role of #individual #initiative in the #development of a #community and the role of #state #control in a #progressive #society.
2 ➡️ #Jews / #Jewish People's home
In 1943, Russell expressed support for #Zionism: "I have come gradually to see that, in a dangerous and largely hostile world, it is essential to #Jews to have some country which is theirs, some region where they are not suspected #aliens, some #state which embodies what is distinctive in their #culture"
3 ➡️ #Mathematics
Russell wrote Principia Mathematica, a milestone in the development of classical #logic and a major attempt to reduce the whole of #mathematics to #logic (see #logicism)
4 ➡️ Russell was a #pacifist who championed anti-imperialism and chaired the #India League.
He went to prison for his #pacifism during World War I and initially supported appeasement against Adolf Hitler's #Nazi #Germany, before changing his view in #1943, describing war as a necessary "lesser of two evils".
5 ➡️ Nobel Peace Prices
1950, Russell was awarded the #NobelPrize in #Literature "in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions #humanitarian ideals and #freedom of #thought".
6 ➡️ Supporting himself
Russell supported his family during this time by writing popular books explaining matters of #physics, #ethics, and #education to the #layman.
7 ➡️ Experimental Education School
Russell founded the #experimental Beacon Hill School in 1927. The school was run from a succession of different locations, including its original premises at the Russells' residence, Telegraph House, near #Harting, West #Sussex.
Russells divided their time between #London and #Cornwall, spending summers in #Porthcurno
8 ➡️ #Books
A History of Western Philosophy (1945) became a best-seller and provided Russell with a steady income for the remainder of his life.
9 ➡️ Political causes
Bertrand Russell was opposed to war from a young age; his opposition to World War I was used as grounds for his dismissal from Trinity College at Cambridge. This incident fused two of his controversial causes, as he had failed to be granted fellow status which would have protected him from firing, because he was not willing to either pretend to be a devout Christian, or at least avoid admitting he was agnostic.
He later described the resolution of these issues as essential to freedom of thought and expression, citing the incident in Free Thought and Official #Propaganda, where he explained that the expression of any idea, even the most obviously "bad", must be protected not only from direct #State intervention but also #economic #leveraging and other means of being #silenced...
10 ➡️ Society - Political and social activism
Much of Russell's time was politically active, almost to the end of his life, writing to and exhorting world leaders and lending his name to various causes. He was a prominent campaigner against Western intervention into the Vietnam War in the 1960s, writing essays and books, attending demonstrations, and even organising the Russell Tribunal in 1966 alongside other prominent philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, which fed into his 1967 book War Crimes in Vietnam.
11 ➡️ #Gender
Russell was an active supporter of the Homosexual Law Reform Society, being one of the signatories of A. E. Dyson's 1958 letter to The Times calling for a change in the law regarding male homosexual practices, which were partly legalised in 1967, when Russell was still alive.
12 ➡️ #Israel #Palestinian
Russell expressed sympathy and support for the Palestinian people and was critical of Israel's actions. He wrote in 1960 that, "I think it was a mistake to establish a Jewish State in Palestine, but it would be a still greater mistake to try to get rid of it now that it exists.
=====================
#BertrandRussell wrote about #philosophy.
18 May 1872 – 2 February 1970
#British #philosopher, #logician, #mathematician, and #public #intellectual

For #RSS do I remember correctly that there was a time you could literally click icon or something to see the RSS?
Like in the url bar or near to padlock 🔒 / 3 dots / near go arrow you could see RSS page ?
And then if not even just add "/rss" woud work?
@MichaelKlamerus I fell in love with RSS because it eliminated the need to constantly reload pages in order to follow news/videos - but sites probably hated that because it meant less ad views.
I still use a self hosted FreshRSS instance to follow all my YouTube channels, because it's way better for keeping track of what I've watched and what's new.

First of all, all of the wisest people that I've been #listening to have been saying basically the same thing:
#Solidarity is the only way home.
We must #build #collective #power.
We must deepen our #relationships of #trust and care across lines of difference, across #coalitions, across #communities.
That's the #foundation upon which everything else resides.
Lives are, have been, will continue to be even more at stake: We must put aside petty in-group and intergroup squabbles and focus on the white #supremacist #Christian #nationalist #authoritarianism that has arrived to our door and is, I'm sorry to say, is very, very real.

I'm moving out of US-based instance Mastodon Dot Social. I prefer being on an instance in a GDPR country.
Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience.

@midtsveen Would like to talk more - sooner the better - it's also about 2 way #conversation / #
for new power of people as nicer #discussion / real #debta... most is one-way currently or unmoderated and we can do better with just a few...
You be the #change please! And reply in regard to #communication itself and most lacking / most #potential between people ! (I'm totally with that post which is why I reply)

#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).

"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.

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.
