Social media is an "unhealthy online environment" 🤒
The problem lies with the business model that underpins these monopolistic platforms: they promote ragebait to rake in the money.
ORG's @jim told BBC News what needs to be done:
✅ Competition
✅ User empowerment
✅ Decentralisation

The Answer is NOT JUST MASTODON either... it's emotional intelligence & incrementing art of friendship at the same time...
@openrightsgroup @jim GOOD VIDEO...
SHORT VERSION REPLY
The #Answer is building another "society" ON TOP OF #MASTODON - rather than just develop more tech.
We're mostly just developing tech and not developing people
(and then complaining about #society and people falling for the same traps used by tech ).
Without organised #circles or dedicated #talks IN MASTODON (on any #decentalised or #centralised #platform) people do not know how to be nice / what to consider / what to look out for that's normal in new relationships / what do if this or that... / how to do it WITH someone there / where to go regularly...
Ok some chat happens... but is that it for Mastodon as a #movement? ❓
Such a lack of depth...
Without some training, we're lost / undirected online. Sorry.
And let chat (positive ending / action needed).
===============
LONGER VERSION:
===============
Rather than using social media for mostly #hating or fearing things (#Trump #Musk #Bezos #apple #news etc)... build our own society or just increment friendships and trust (must be a way).
Develop better people AT THE SAME TIME. Not just develop tech...
Time to invest in people.
Time invested in people gives back in ways to #community [opportunity, work, listening, tutoring/teaching, other coincidental help / better examples / daily place to go to].
Developing people is the solution now we have the #Technology ....
➡️ (i.e. #MASTODON + #JITSI is ENOUGH to heal / speak / listen / send / receive))
OR #MASTODON = TEXT / PIC
+ #JITSI = AUDIO / VIDEO
+ #NEXTCLOUD = FILES
Develop caring CIRCLES OF people and everything else will come better with it. Might seem a long investment but we have to do the long work anyway because cutting corners and is cutting ourselves off with #short #textism.
Need to be dedicate to people PERSONAL #CARING IN #CIRCLES.
⭕ ↔️ 🔁
The Answer is NOT JUST MASTODON and leaving people to their quite poor levels of friendliness and own fear... !
(that's why scratching the surface you can find people are JUST LIKE ON #twitter sometimes once we get deeper in #comments and #suggestions).
it's emotional intelligence & incrementing the #art of #friendship and #courage... at the same time as having Mastodon... CIRCLES. ⭕ ↔️ 🔁
( using Jitsi #chat rooms for example https://jitsi.freifunk-duesseldorf.de/chatroom12345 )
Building #Emotional #Intelligence + Friendships
= #Intelligent People
= #Better #humanity
#FREESCHOOL ANYONE?
People need to come #together (#decentalized or not that's the aim!)

P.S # JITSI CHAT = INSTANT!

AUDIO OR VIDEO CHATTING!
TEST IT ALONE - EXAMPLE HERE...
Government #Paradox = We need them but don't want them...
We Need #government because people unchecked will do #vil,
but...
#Government is made of mostly unchecked or evil people.
Playing the same game keeps making it worse! #Chess
(but take it as a time-passing instead and it's "ok" to lose)
#Google search results = confirmation bias / it's own agenda ?
Searching for the truth using #Google might have confirmation bias of sorts and it's own version of the truth ?
🔍 Try #Searx https://searx.org/
- I use don't use Google directly.
🔎 Try Searx.org #searchengine #privacy #security #engine
#Google's version might just support itself and have #search results based on what google knows about you... ?
Because #GoogleKnows your #bias and existing search #tree history...
( #confirmationbias https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=confirmation+bias )
"...when you search for something to agree with your biases..." it might just give you what you want...
Above #quote and #pic inspired by @freemo post:

Google search = Google's version of the Truth ? or supports your existing #bias from your search #history...? Just maybe...
Wouldn't be surprised these tools have their own #politics and #agenda.... Try https://searx.org/
@freemo Where does it go is equally important. ✅ That's what I'd really like to see...
@freemo I'd really like to see how much went to military and other things...
And then in future I'd like NOT to pay 🚫 for those things and #OPTOUT hard to leave what might be more than enough since I think they have #misspent all these years on the wrong things / the wrong departments...
So not just % but what it all gets spent on, WHAT it does or does not go back into I think is also good to see / understand.
Where does it go is equally important. ✅
@freemo @admitsWrongIfProven Not sure which poem it's referring to but I would take the notes anyway, it's interesting.
And always I thought when people wrote #music songs or #poems that explaining the imagery and purpose of would be far better for (meaningful stuff) than any bliss without knowing why they made it and what for... :) So no harm done / better knowing and understanding the #real...
thanks, also check #qoto hashtag later if you get a chance.

WOW ! WOW !
This paper includes Harvard and Johns Hopkins.
Finally some Covid Truth. The abstract is explosive !
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4206070
"University booster mandates are unethical because:
1) no formal risk-benefit assessment exists for this age group;
2) vaccine mandates may result in a net expected harm to individual young people;
3) .... expected harms are not outweighed by public health benefits ....
4)..... rare serious vaccine-related harms will not be reliably compensated due to gaps in current vaccine injury schemes; and
5) mandates create wider social harms.
We consider counter-arguments such as a desire for socialisation and safety and show that such arguments lack scientific and/or ethical support. ."
@HealthRanger @JV
Plus we must have ballot serial numbers... - still anonymous
And immediate arrests for fraud.
Any delay = Felony arrests
Judges must be required to look at evidence

• Being aware is not enough
• Voting is not enough
• Talking is not enough
• Protesting is not enough
• We need millions of Patriots taking actions at every level of government, schools, law enforcement, courts, and media

We can't even help Jan6th POWs here in our own country. There is no way any of else can help Gonzalo Lira. He choose to stay in a Nazi controlled country and report as a journalist.
Very predictable what is happening to him. I am sorry. but we are in a war...and we are losing badly in our own country.
@HealthRanger
isn't this potentially true for ALL vitamins and supplements ?
Meaning, we really have no idea what contaminants are in anything not being sold by HealthRanger
@Unalienable @HealthRanger 186mb for 2hrs MP3 - Can confirm too big (bitrate too high).
64Kbps is enough for voice and even most music (which isn't in these reports thankfully).

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
