========================================
OFFICIAL INFO - My Italy Dream Story
========================================

My book - the spontaneously spoken story - of how I came to my magical Italian Arthouse - on a mostly-non-existent budget, and surmounting myriad challenges internally and externally:

how it was to immerse myself in a random, semi-abandoned medieval quarter and the rural culture of south Italy - and the explosion of house-hunting that our TV show seeded... How everything blew up in drama and controversy... and then settled down beautifully, into La Vita Agrodolce and then Eventually, how it all healed into the thriving natural life I now Am Living...

The 17 Chapters of the story of moving and feelings of reality:

1 the glen
the prayer
la degustazione
the drive
the full immersion
the separation
the dark night of the soul
the corrected prayer
the house
the first year
the arthouse
the landscape
the tv show
the gold rush
the renovating
the corrected dream
17 the living dream

Systems don't want smart active kids...

Well unless it's in a certain smart way beneficial to itself first (not what's best for the kids - also because smart kids don't always no or have a choice being younger / in hierarchical positions)

Your audience aren’t mind readers, they’ve not seen this stuff before so give them the respect of slowing down and talking them through it.

Your audience will enjoy your talk way more if they actually understand it.

I didn't remember this site still existed, but hey everyone! I'm Mikel and I draw Batman for a living.

Humans feelings need to dealt with AND an individuals problems AT THE SAME TIME... Solve feelings and solve other things at the same time... 

I feel like are a big part of life and perhaps dealing with them more often between is the to things working between us and the-long-way-around to slowly-but-surely solving everything else that is stopping us working together... ?)

the satellite feelings and problems solves the bigger parts in the middle eventually - especially if the is not a one-hit kill-shot but mutually a problem like modern is..

need to deal with feelings AND problem AT THE SAME TIME.

Else they stay in same bad feelings / unsolved loops since doesn't want to hear it and cuts it out almost completely

(and thus one of the problems).

Feelings can be explained and dealt with but not by (who is uninterested / ).

It's for the people to do themselves more often / part of their daily ...

💬 MY COMMENT 💬
Shows how works but has a totally different dimension or meaning for humans (such as a pile of stones or facts for people having different effects or no effect) so what it actually means for them in the current situation / context (or even oppression) is important. Often more of the same has limits so we need more than just the same but the more human contact between us.

For further statement...

" All the science and maths in the world won't save us from the lack of will-power against those who have will to kill us or economically oppress.

And won't stop us from the those people lacking will-power to rise up and fight daily against bullies not just using science, maths or even facts only.... but maybe heart and soul via better communication ❤️ 📈 🚀 - at least higher up the priority method between people, because we are imperfect and have to roll with that a bit more without being too picky.

For example - Currently there are too many cold techies developing machines but not developing themselves or others - that will not work / is measurably not working. Incrementing other things like trust and co-creation between people rather than machine work / 1-way posting on social is now the way forward since we have almost too many machines and services own externally. Time for the internal work less able to be disconnected."

is different and the answer more than ever with most of the rest done / reaching it's limits and even over-done.

POST: mathstodon.xyz/@ColinTheMathmo

I've been thinking about this for ages, but never had the time to craft the words around it.

People keep saying that "Maths should be fun" ... and I push back with "It should be engaging ... 'fun' is a different thing.

So @rakhichawla has posted pretty much exactly this, but better than I ever could.

I'm copying it here with permission.

Please read this, then as it says at the end ... let's have a deeper conversation about this ...

"Goodbye Gouda and farewell French mustard: Signature foods on the brink of climate extinction.

Dijon mustard was recently so damaged by climate change, French retailers limited customers to a single jar each.

It’s no secret that extreme weather conditions, driven by human-created climate change, are endangering the global food supply system.

Droughts, heatwaves, wildfires and floods combine to wreak havoc on staple crops such as wheat and rice, as well as seafood, coffee and chocolate. But as well as the obvious impacts on the global food chain - famines, food shortages and drastic price increases – we may soon see the end of countries’ traditional gastronomic cultures."

❓ #QOTO BLOCKED ? ❓ Which servers?... 

@freemo I re-drafted the post indeed as this qoto.org/@freeschool/114014381 (or click this post)
Same hashtag means you can easily relocate posts, and as fail-safe if things change in future...
===============
TWO MAIN THINGS:

1/ At least snow was responding openly somewhat / not always hiding. Almost as a tester testing things to show how it can be abused....

2/ Would be good to have a way to reverse blocks and decisions just as easily with collected evidence - for example if snow was being honest it was them doing it and you had the screenshots / info to confirm / counter the original screenshots.
Without much debate just a kind of 1:1 counter...

But mostly asking Eugene (must be crazy busy) and any popular admin to pay attention to balance thins I think is near impossible / shortening-time.

I remember reading it before BUT a quick look still * doesn't answer *:

1➡️ Current list of QOTO servers...?

2➡️ If is on FediBlock / other lists,,,?

Would be a good update and status from after-maths of sorts...

"Mastodon seems so inactive" ... "almost no engagement" ... (Reddit post / feedback) 

My summary first / agree with these:

1 👻 "ghost town"👻

2 ⛔ "no engagement" (almost like it's bad past 1 reply / not the point of Fediverse to unite?)

3 :qoto: This server might be / too or name somehow not helping for historical reasons with others making name bad or other getting wrong idea.

"Mastodon seems so inactive"

💬 Is it just me, or does feel so empty? Sure, there are trending posts, but most of the posts from regular users you click on have no likes, boosts, or comments.

Even accounts with 1,000 have almost no .

On the other hand, BlueSky feels much more alive. What's the issue? I really enjoy Mastodon, but I feel like it's kind of ghost town.

EDIT:
Thank you for all the responses.

Some remarks:

✔️ I should work on my feed.
(follow more people + hashtags + make lists)

✔️ The amount of likes/favs is not shown from all instances, so it might look like no one is liking posts.

QOTO.org: an inclusive, STEM-focued instance supporting Academic Freedom

In light of many complaints that some Mastodon communities are excessively touchy and block-happy, I want to bring awareness to the excellent instance at QOTO -- "question others to teach ourselves". This is a STEM-focused instance that attempts to embody the ideals of Academic Freedom -- allowing users to listen to whatever they wish as long as they do not abuse others or spread hateful ideologies.

qoto.org/about/more

I'm promoting this specific instance because they have been getting pushback from the larger Mastodon community over their 'open federation' policy -- ultimately causing them to be dropped from the 'joinmastodon' directory. QOTOs only has a blanket ban on a few other instances, and otherwise provides users with the option to activate the 'fediblock' blocklist on their own account by importing a CSV file.

While many Mastodon users will value having a more heavily moderated experience that errors on the side of blocking inappropriate content, I think the social network as a whole benefits from having a some major nodes that error on the side of allowing speech.

Please check it out if you are interested in STEM. The server is functioning well, and I've had a good experience over there (but granted, I haven't posted much that would draw the attention of bigots).

Edit: STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Math

This post / thread also seems relevant and interesting

Mainly about:

➡️ Getting QOTO deliberately blocked by creating bad content here and reporting it

➡️ Method: Creating account here + + using those puppet / sock / fake accounts to post bad / Nazi stuff and then report it as evidence elsewhere to other servers and aiming to get entire QOTO server blocked and / or on list(s)...

❓ #QOTO BLOCKED ? ❓ Which servers?... 

➡️ 1-What servers are blocking / - @freemo or anyone know?

➡️ 2-Is there also site for showing blocks / defed?

TLDR version finished...

====================
More on that (but can skip it)...
====================

or people who can say "We are blocking you!" concretely to help QOTO deal with it ⛔

📋 Reasons why + any offending examples / links. 📋

🔗 Any page links saying is blocked elsewhere. 🔗

Honesty is great (not looking for any trouble).

Thanks
