demographic / tect changes....
@davidnjoku These are interesting to hear as observations because as time goes by shows how thing change more and perhaps always there but sped-up shows how and why things happen more... like economic warfare dictating things...
And if the fashion of various industries are going to "let more in" or whatever newspaper title for economic manipulation or whichever people they conveniently walk ....

Cookie warning is scary - Good to put what you've said in this thread about cookies in a short list for that confirmation - I quit out soon as I hit the cookie message and might visit again later based on your reply...
I like the concept and even can believe you are not evil, but needs to be listed clearer / less ambiguously for permission, to relieve my worry clicking anything)
With the specific case of British, the concept of dual identity is important.
I.e. being British is being English/Scottish/Welsh/Northern Irish as separate identities. Being British is a super group identity that, in theory, accommodates people on an "opt in" basis.
Alas, politicised education, Brexit and weaponised racism leaves many people who do not fall into that big four grouping falling back on their other identities or without one if "Britishness" fails.

@davidnjoku why should identity = nationality? the place you live and the country you are a citizen of is just one part of your identity. Your ancestry is one more part. They dont have to be identical.

I listen to far too many #podcasts so I know a little about a lot, and a lot about very little.
@VirLutro I pay 6 euros a month for my own instance, and yes, it's worth every penny.

@imp3tuz One thing we (white people on fedi) can and must do is follow hashtags like #BlackMastodon and #BlackFedi to get more perspectives in our feeds. Just remember to think before replying, or better yet, just shut up and listen for a while before joining a conversation. Obviously this won’t solve racism, but if you’re not doing even this much, you’re part of the problem.
(Now wondering to myself if I should have shut up and listened instead of replying…)
100%
but I also feel like the "spirit" is off too.
My gut is that the relative absence of black folks here isn't much at all about "white people not being welcoming enough"
It's because it's *boring* here. And note how (even well meaning) sterility can contribute to that.
@imp3tuz me too, it’s a shock to my system when I go back to where I grew up and remember how small their world is there.
@mattmorrowart Good to read the Alt-Text and see the more hidden stuff - nice overall.
Cuture is ALL Mixed now? (100% British + 20% Nigerian + Other culture levels? 🎚️🎚️🎚️ or bars 📊 )
@davidnjoku Few replies (interesting topic)...
1A/ "We're happy she's lost hers."
⬅️ who's we? You mean you / Nigerian community?
1B/ And why are you happy / what difference does it make to you?
2/ While I feel it's fine for a person to say that, the wording of the post seems to miss or avoid the kind of answer of 'both' a bit of being Nigerian and British (like 20% Nigerian and 100% British)
Depends on how she is saying it but I think you can have more cultures so the %'s can be like levels of culture and not just always 100% of 1 culture or nothing..
Being British might be just a status or State identity thing also right? Well it is mostly as you can exist without it (without being a tax number or seeing it as payment from safety from the colonial oppressor type thing)
So just maybe living British IS having other cultures mixed in IS ALWAYS NON-BRITISH NOW as it's almost never the pure sense (if that ever existed!).
British = mixed people / culture now❗
No more old British or starting to be Nigerian - you're likely mixed of every single one like the cultures you work and have a laugh with.
A passport is just a capture device / tool for arbitrary capture / membership not representing your actual culture.
Like you would have a snooker membership or English cultural lawn bowling membership - it's not all you :)
(a bit jokey but you ge the membership is not your actual culture or even reality as a symbol or logo on a small book called passport)
I think the above is quite solid -
Might be unnecessary to say:
🇳🇬 #Nigeria only gained independence from #Britain 🇬🇧 since 1960...
so
🇬🇧 🚢🚢🚢 ➡️ 🇳🇬 🔫 / 🌍 / 🔥
and then after some time...
🇳🇬 👫 🚢🚢🚢 ➡️ " 🇬🇧 " 👫 now "British"
#Help / Advice Wamted about working online with people... INCREASING / TRUST (maybe FRIENDSHIP also)...
I revise this a bit and send it out once in a while...
Because it seems that:
🔴 we can't team up / invest in each other... indirectly or suddenly
🔴 even on #Fediverse we are not sure what to do for each other and it's one-way mostly...
Perhaps this is more of a technical Fediverse where Tech is binding people BUT inevitably that is sponsored / setup by big tech or provided by it's infrastructure.
So Mastodon as software or people ? As development software development or people personality development ?
Maybe both but people need more than just the software (yes that means making friends not just making software).
That's the short version above.
================
The longer points below:
================
Yes - People need time with this 'togetherness' and being friendly ( 🎵 hate is all the world has ever seen lately 🎵 )
So just as 'humanity' itself needs to do their homework properly so that we stop #war, we individually have to hold hands (a bit) one at a time - the work we never wanted to do...
It's like if we can do this 1 friendship-like thing on whatever level people are and going to enjoy making each other's dreams without all in stress and money all the time... so even as a side-sport or dojo we visit occasionally, we help each other up from the interaction observed here and ask / get / do / give / copy something better, also in terms of psychology / mental stuff (not just physical or servers).
I get that online isn't easy (it's only 25years most are online at higher-speeds of internet) but isn't there always what I can I do for you and vice versa ?
Mostly we're already doing something so helping FUNNEL that all is a GREAT IDEA even by asking frequently.
It's the finding of that answer we solve everything as light friendship as-we-go or #adhoc, #p2p with whoever is visually or textually passing by...
Passing by more often increments the getting to know / trust factor in any #movement / #progress / #political - #personal thing)
What do you think?
Other notes below:
(again sometimes I change sometimes not)
====================
PSYCHOLOGY STRENGTHENING?
====================
On a psychological note I think people are getting ill deeply / psychologically. Where it's even hard to speak.
Psychosomatic things means disturbances in which emotional maladjustment are almost physically stopping people moving (forward or anywhere)...
The #answer I see is only to get it all out and break through it together as partners (just accepting it all and dealing with it, to actually solve it, not just covering up or ignoring symptoms).
It feels like the more you try, the more people are feeling something which shows something is there living even if it's not ideal at the very beginning - I after wil be fine,.. better communication - otherwise it would be impossible to separate feeling itself any other way and say "RIGHT let's just deal with it as much as we can in 20mins!"
I don't want to conclude people are a complete flop or dud but seems so...
==========================
Anyway give your opinion and any guesses about these thigns...
==========================
1 ➡️ why like-minded people might be exactly the people most skeptical?
(skilled people can be skeptical about everything which is fair)
2 ➡️ Why people won't team up with those similar-minded randomly?
(maybe feel threatened or competitive I guess) or can't go deeper in testing me / people to increment something - but if can't trust from the get go, then how to increase trust?
3 ➡️ why people might not reply or even block me, so even a short or long message doesn't work
(seems technically better people but still dead fish socially ?)
4 ➡️ why he internet is full of pseudonyms and avatars but still today people are feeling something about accounts without name? (seems really similar to passport control where it's name and number or you're a suspect). By nature of internet it's not for everyone to be spreading all their details (especially if anti-system) and social media provides someone's profile to answer a lot of things so why is name so important or why are people happier when I fake it instead of nickname / pseudo-name on mailing lists (admins asked me to do that). Is it all that "fake" is better cover for real life and accepting people's existence?
FINAL NOTE
These things deliberately I know are challenging and 'advanced' - some will just genuinely not remember or lose messages and yes 100 thigns so it could be that = but many seem just not ready for 2-way communication ... and more one-way posting.
Even veterans in the game haven't got #communications down well and are not sucking talent / contributions or involving #participation which after years you'd think they'd perfected by now...
So maybe this is my work to do but it start with you being able to increment more happier / trusting way instead of going backwards...
Feel free to reply and contact me.
Communications seems the core of everything else.

Just look at the list of Wrestlers and UFC fighters that endorsed the orange arsehole. Makes me sick. The Undertaker! FFS.
I gave up with the #UFC a while ago - Rogan's enough to turn me off but I was really looking forward to #WWE on Netflix. I'm not a huge fan but have watched a bit with the kids - it's stupid and fun. But I'm done. I'll never watch again. I hope Netflix realises they've bought a poison chalice.

WHERE DO WE GO NOW TO WORK TOGETHER?
FEDIVERSE?
Intelligence for me now is measured now by those who can work together and communicate / chat versus those much less. Those that can help people individually develop and grow like me. Else we fail everyone. Ironically bad people do this better than the good, so we almost just have to copy them and self-check we're not bad along the way.
If not using others mutually then we are leaving them to the Capitalist system to eat up which is a LOSE:LOSE:LOSE (ME:YOU:EVERYONE).
RIGHT NOW... Helping Others using Fediverse could be MUCH easier if people were a bit more DEDICATED.
I'm defined today by my dreams. I try do RIGHT NOW or tomorrow for the children / adults as imagining it were for me.
Together we can measurably do things and talk towards solutions (I see as improving "communications" right now AS the actual solution)
We can solve individually the same-ish problems, and eventually more as a crowd like a crowd-funder (only less money involved, more intelligence). Snowballing the right things 🌨️ =☃️+ 🏂 / 🏦 🚫 = 📊 #FreeSchool
