Bringing this highly requested feature to #Mastodon and the fediverse is not as trivial as some might think, but quote posts are coming. Here is our latest write-up about our progress:

@HistoPol Did it suffice, before?
That assessment in its stark, incredible naivete, shows you haven't yet grasped. THEY DO NOT CARE. They giggle at the indictments. They use it as grifting opportunities. Only REAL consequences, loss of personal liberty, freedom, privilege and property will grab their attention.
And the lower echelon of MAGAts have even less to lose, so they become the suicide bomber paradigm/problem.
Wake up.
#Fediverse ... ☑️ Technically ☑️ ⛔ Socially ⛔
📋 TLDR is:
Fediverse should be more about developing people socially,
Not mostly all people developing #tech.
#Fediverse efforts...
☑️ Technically ☑️
⛔ Socially ⛔

Same as
#Twitter basically in many ways even if 'it is a different kind of #fascism and talk / watching known bad leader do more instead of try build anything / everything socially (creating new if needed) - so you / your work is all still inactive' / 'unsocial' in this way and not really building socially.
It's tech which eventually is over-done and just #code constantly overwritten or scrapped when tech forces next #wave. 🌊
Time to build our own thing (and everything can still exist but as more of a hobby or potential partnership WHILE we enjoy / listen to others more and basics of cohesion like practising people).
#TLDR: #developing people, not developing mostly tech things.

Scottish place names are full of ghosts. They describe fields that are no longer there, forests long felled. Gaelic carries the memory of people, land, and place. When languages disappear, so does a part of our history and the ways of thinking they represent.

No wonder there is #war.
People can't do more than a few conversation sentences.
Short sentences are mostly #aesthetics and even #fake not daring even battle with words first and leaving war to stupid people.
YES THE PUBLIC ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WAR, IF THEY CAN'T STRING 'LONG' PARAGRAPHS AND KEEP EMOTIONS...
SHORT = shallow... the bourgeois short sentences contribute to all this.
#Fediverse is FULL on the inactive #Caturday spectrum simply same opposite of spam. Ineffective, yes the cats are a bit better but not by much.
A #bitcoin person is sill more active in conversation than #cat person.

QOTO 1/ not reporting a post reply + 2/ phantom 'has been edited' post notifications daily...
QOTO not reporting post reply ( @freemo )
Not major but could be 2 things:
1 🔴 I've found an unread message without notification...
Example:
https://mastodon.world/@ubi4me/114125880310465209
It was written 1+ hours ago and looking at list of notifications it's not in the list (I will add if notification ever comes) - I found it only by chance re-looking at the thread,
I would have not been told someone replied to me so it's a bit worrying or just a basic enough thing to be important.
I think it has happened before once or twice but didn't report it...
2 🔴 And a thing as everyone is experienced maybe daily is the phantom "xyz edited a post" (seen on different servers)
Aa post keeps coming up as a new notification that it's been edited when it hasn't been. This is happens lots daily...
Examples:
https://infosec.exchange/@kcarruthers/114046359555057082
https://mastodon.scot/@kristiedegaris/114023914341537080
Grow better people ? You get what you invest in....
Grow better people - Invest more time into people to get more out of them (find mutuality)
You get what you invest in. Grow better people...
#Fediverse is mostly rebuilding computers and code... not investing time and energy into people. ✔️✔️
❤️ Priority today is developing people better to 'make' better people as the long-term work.
Soul work.
🔌 We have developed #Technology to the death / draining planet's life and our time for less and less in return from #BigTech.
You get what you invest in.
Grow better people most than anything else? ❓

Scarcity isn’t real - it’s manufactured.
There’s enough food, housing, and wealth to go around.
The problem isn’t a lack of resources, it’s a lack of will. UBI isn’t radical. Letting people starve in the richest societies in history is.

And remember that Zoom itself, in their T&C's, says that they will use all of the data flowing through their servers, as fodder for their AI training.
This means that Zoom are recording everything.
#STEM Problems - incl. most #Tech work and #Techies (is it correct? ✔️❌ ) ❓
STEM is focuses on everything else mostly. not human beings and their feelings.
Is that quite correct? (on first look❓) ✔️❌
That's the TLDR -
:rocket Please boost and comment if I'm wrong or right to get good comments... :rocket
TLDR 2:
#STEM / #Science #Tech #Engineering #Maths is mostly not orientated or considerate of people themselves or their feelings - during or after 'work' (neither the workers who do work or what the work is effecting upon others).
@freemo I've mentioned you here because I feel like you have a good reply for the above distinction (the rest is just extra below but helps give micro-reasons that make the total premis).
Please boost and comment if I'm wrong or right...
I aim to correct as I go or realise why it's ok to ignore people and focus on Tech / STEM... as it seems to be proven or felt already that there is a quick limit to all tech and we reached there around the 2000's ! :)
====================
Further points are "➡️" marked:
The post is here because:
➡️ 1) if things are not for or with them (workers / those effected) in mind then that is a bigger problem than calculating the material things correctly unless really good work is done prior.
➡️ 2) I do care more than the average modern person it seems... about people... and because THEN it solves everything a lot better - even the material world can be solved but not without the people.
(i.e. NOT considering people is almost always worse / ignorant / feeding colder people / bastards / #Musk)
I'm painting STEM it seems with 1 brush... 🖌️
BUT if you agree "STEM" itself is a grouped term of similar brushes quite deliberately similar because they do not include the people stuff first (or at all) then that similarly find that critical and a direct result of the problems and perspectives of that.
➡️ IF doing anything human orientated and anything to do with humans / humanity then those people's thoughts or even participation is needed in some way / level. Never near-0%.
IF it was much high like 50% then I could accept it a lot more.
Not being too extreme here but
➡️ when it's near-0 caring or cutting people out and treating them as blank pawns, then THIS IS a human problem FROM those kinds of perspective and faulty as a human result (might make sense as maths or tax but not for people and the right reasons at all).
➡️ Often STEM can HIDE people-related problems as a result of cutting it out (Africa's extracted metals, technological targeting etc)
So results can be false without the human voice or for very wrong reasons.
Another way to say it
➡️ without #individualisation, people are counted the same.
The next bean increment is counted are exactly the same as the previous bean / human. 1...12,13...222... treating people as objects.
➡️ STEM is more of a #topdown perspective 1) financially and 2) as work practices internally and treats people themselves as objects.
➡️ "1" = same "1"?
To represent 1 person and the next as the same isn't quite right.
To represent 1 person in mostly 1 way as object-orientated design is generally not great ...
(Do tell me if a number or tax code represents you well (!) )
➡️ All your attributes and other "values" that you feel can be mostly cut off / skipped / is not important)
➡️ Computers can have correct results or but not at all for humans betterment / consent / consideration
STEM are good or ok-ish...
...for ✔️ computer-computer design and things without a soul
but
...it's a problem for
❌ computer-to-human-to-computer-back-to-human design
STEM is focussed mostly on everything else apart from human beings and their feelings.
and sometimes the whole point is lost as a result (such as social not being generally "social" or leaving it up to people who don't know how to socialise / make a real movement of change)
The effects are mostly done unto others rather than the "how do people feel about it at the time". The human factor and feelings at the time or later is largely missing / not part of the calculation or checking. It's more a material thing...
This makes a perfect tool skipping how people feel - both those calculating and those having the calculation done TO THEM.
STEM doesn't calculate or even deliberately likes to ignore the people doing the work or who it's done on... it's just done or expected or even demanded without more checks with the people. Similar to how aboriginal people and colonial mentality just say "ok now you're doing this" as a command (and conquer).
I think that's why STEM acronym are a group of only THOSE TYPES of tools because everyone wants to cut out how people feel.
If someone doesn't want to do it or has different feelings it's obviously more political (which is why people think Tech is not political but it just skips it a lot of the time).
⚠️ Please boost if I'm wrong or right...
Said because I care a bit more about people I guess... and that is usually not the most popular state given job (to care) or individually chosen way... Hmmm... #FreeSchool
People are the real work...
Freedom. All things towards #Freedom.
Communication pioneer (only as most people don't do it at any depth)
#FreeSchool = #Notes #Quotes (extracts / gems) from great #Books #Videos #Talks #Websites from all around the world towards
TOGETHER & MORE OFTEN DIRECTLY (who else is going to do it?).
#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).
#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 🔁

#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.
