@seraf @liene_jurgelane How did it go? / What are you doing past this?
Greta Thunberg @gretathunberg has been kidnapped by the IDF on international waters! They do not own the Gaza strip by any legal standard, they are not allowed to decide who gets to dock or what they can or cannot bring. They are not the legal representation of Gaza, unless it is run as an open air prison.
The fact that a ship full of humanitarian aid is making the Israeli government go haywire exposes the exact problem. Thank you, Greta and all the other activists ❤️
Systems built upon #exploitation and #oppression of people...
#Systems seem to be built upon #exploitation and #oppression of people.
(taken from quote below - https://ni.hil.ist/@mu/114626116042263903)
GRETA THUNBERG: My message is that right now international law is failing us. International institutions, our governments are failing us. Media, our companies are all failing us. Or “failing us” is a diplomatic way of saying that our system seems to be designed in a way that is built upon exploitation and oppression of people. And so, there’s no one to turn to. There’s no one we can turn to to rescue the situation, but it falls on us to step up, to continue flooding the streets, to continue organizing, boycotting, to speak up on all platforms to try to send a clear message that we will not stand for what is happening right now.
Your happiness makes me happy...
Your happiness makes me happy.
Joy from the success and good #fortune of others...

May our good fortune continue and increase.
May I learn to appreciate joy and happiness.
May our joy persist and grow.
May their happiness continue.
May I be filled with joy and gratitude.
Your happiness makes me happy.
For my daughter’s birthday (22!), I am experiencing & sending “mudita” to the world: sympathetic joy for all the beings, including birds & grasses & hills!
“May our good fortune continue and increase.
May I learn to appreciate joy and happiness.
May you be tickled with delight.
May their happiness continue.
May our joy persist and grow.
Your happiness makes me happy.
May I be filled with joy and gratitude.”

@adanielroth Well, one week ago mastodon.social had a better TOS. I guess we'll have to interrogate individual instances as to whether they intend to adopt Mastodon gGmbH's TOS template or not. Personally if I move I'm probably going self hosting because if I have to change instances once what stops me needing to do it twice? I THOUGHT mastodon.social was the reliable instance!
@mcc @Moss @adanielroth https://purr.neocities.org/
Meow is a viewer for Mastodon export files. Such files contain all of one's posts, stars and bookmarks.
(Advice For beginners: To obtain export files, you can go to your Mastodon account settings, open “Import and export” and click “Request your archive”. You will receive the download link by email shortly thereafter.)
@mcc @heathen_cat Perhaps things like Internet Archive could be the exception to the no scraping rule (almost only Internet Archive) rather than a kind of 'accept all' for scraping which mostly all bad / unwanted / for commerce ?
@tarheel planning to set up my own instance at mcc at dryad dot technology. Will update and use the account migration feature.
HELP US SOCIALLY DEVELOP VIA CHAT! [JITSI + INTERFACE = CHAT ROUTLETTE STYLE]
@yPhil You always do QUALITY work and such SUPER-BASIC acting stuff with simple-complex behind it.
MY IDEAS FOLLOW - WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP?
I'd really like to use these kinds of clever things for a Chat Roulette of our own where people sit and talk to each other via existing #WebRTC / #Jitsi etc in a bit more easier point and click 'next' way
Standard #jitsi like https://jitsi.freifunk-duesseldorf.de/ + interface / overlay / frame to click next
People developing people more often as a social incremental advance
(others can develop computers if they want too - but giving people an outlet to ACTUALLY DEVELOP US SOCIALLY as it's too much tech now and not enough upgrading what social is and how to do it better.)
Hope you understand what I mean! <3
Thoughts on that...?
@yPhil Is there a 32bit Windows version for people?
I know it's maybe extra to do / not many on it but census show still some actually sticking with older versions so maybe add if no biggie!
Endless economic growth on a planet with finite resources is not feasible. The conference “Beyond Growth Estonia” will be held on the 2nd-3rd of October 2025 and will launch a public debate on how to ensure Estonia’s adaptability in a changing ecological and political reality so that our #economy serves the natural environment and society, and not the other way around. This is the first major #degrowth event in #Estonia.

@malteengeler thank you for this most concentrated definition: “society that is based on solidarity, equality and cooperation” instead of “society that is built on competition, exclusion and exploitation.” !
@dansinker Epic! Let's talk about it more - make time for me / stay in touch!
@chrisnelsonsdog Also... Maybe a conscious community in #Spain also remind me...
@chrisnelsonsdog Ok
The work I have is more in the mind sense. Also to do with connecting people..
It will involve chats more than transforming fixing the material realm. So easy work in that sense and not progressing capitalism.
Perhaps a conversation ping-pong partner is one way to say it and muse for these 'friendship for the way' types of personal endeavors. Good to have a audio chat about...
So not physical activity unless you want to do some sports training here, but really getting people together in the mind no matter where they are... and doing better for themselves and others... Something along those lines...
#FreeSchool (hashtag) also shows my type of anti stuff but this text is for the main part if you're ok chilling in a clam place with nature and not much else. ?
Let's talk more ❓
A more appropriate term would be faith based, than religion based. Atheists are a faith based position.
100% of atheists claim there is no god, if you are not making that claim you are not atheist by definition, that would make you agnostic (making no assertion about a god either way).
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes from #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites all around #DIY Care# and #Caring as our main #Politics / #Politics
#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 🔁
See My #FreeSchool (Hashtag) for latest examples anytime. Or keep open and refresh from time to time:

#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.
