Uhff #Fediverse = Seeing your old post in #2026 - almost a year to the day from lack of anyone else dedicating to #caring for it's users more personally - we're too #alone and I'm not proud to be a #pioneer like this!...
Only providing one-way mass spaces with no-one personally driving their instance and space,...
urghhh... dry...
Thanks I guess - #HINT - a tech instance is not enough, we need humans answering / pushing / educating / warming up with the others ! Captains / people driving the ship forward socially else we just stay drifting with no pioneering / much less discovery / progress / just tech which gets rug pulled...
Humans hold their #values and can share them better than cold #computers!
We can't stay humanly cold / unlearned / just in text-modes...
Ouch #humanity.
My post I'm referring to is about Browsing the web and being watched / activities logged...

(that post a bit unrelated to this post #Quote 💬 #MollyWhite
But I guess I'll see this post soon enough a year from now.... so here's the last! (also without human comment, or interaction from #Molly / @molly0xfff )
People are doing good work but more-personally we're not building OUR MASS - just a few specialists talking to the #MASS who are far from able to even reply sometimes...

For #QOTO - I'm not sure why my pinned posts disappeared... I think you can have 4 pinned and yeah I don't remember taking them off - is hard to say but happened twice so I'm 'just saying' as it felt it happened again...
BSky is:
- centralized
- US based
- owned by a mini-big-tech-bro
Just forget it and let’s focus on the good things in life.
I closed my account there quite a while back but only de-bridged today. I'm sad to no longer see posts from certain people I followed but overall I feel a whole lot better. 👍
The past tricked the future. Here's how... (Banks and State Rules)
➡️ #Banks as the "system" of "value" #cheating the #future by "selling" #debt and #devaluing future #money (and life).
More debt or #less #value of keeping money / #saving. (often both)
➡️ More State #Rules, like a smaller and smaller space to work in (to make it harder or more #profitable for #State)
➡️ ... ... ....

🖼️ = Picture of Euro bank note but edited to show a 0 and not 10 or 100 for example because it's really not worth what is in reality and anyway always devaluing the total by loans given out.
Follow up on #Getty #photojournalist John Abernathy…
He later posted this image of his camera sitting on top of what appears to be a court date notice. The caption is very cryptic, but from the picture I infer his camera survived & he was in fact arrested. No word on whether he had any injuries, though at a minimum I’d expect bruises. An absolutely #unconstitutional #arrest.

"New polls released this week show U.S. voters breaking just 20-30% in favor of the way ICE is enforcing President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda. Polls on things like zip-tying children during raids, detaining U.S. citizens, ICE agents wearing masks, &, of course, shooting and killing citizens such as Renee Good show a public that is moving dramatically away from the president on his once-best issue."

@FediTips I gave Bluesky so many chances, I was hopeful communities like Blacksky would flourish and push decentralization, but damn, it continually feels like a leftist honeypot there, just the successor of Twitter. Stuff like this, I worry Fedi is next for enshittifcation if servers like mastodon.social keep growing unchecked.
"We're forever grateful for every dollar we receive"
From the 7 options to donate, there's 1 european (german) , and 6 US (including corporate offers).
I wonder if there is any 'europe' left in mastodon or if it has been swallowed up by the US allready like all other european competitors.
@random_sapiens our our fiscal sponsor in the EU is WE AID, and there's a SEPA Direct Debit option via that route. We're aware we can do more to make it easier to donate, and will see what we can do to improve this.

💬 ⭐ "Give Trump an inch, he will take a mile."
💬 ⭐ "Capitulation has been a failure."
💬 ⭐ "If someone threatens to burn your house down unless you follow their orders and they burn your house down anyway, you don't have to keep following their orders"
Surrendering to #Trump and capitulation is a failure...
But Tariffs are also a way to try force people to sell out (their country - e.g. saying tariffs will be put on Brazilian coffee if they don't accept US anti-circumvention laws - so those countries (all of them) give in and take on #US pressure.

"I asked on the internet, and I got a lot of fantastic advice, including from someone who replied and said he had a whole series, and offered to send them.
So he did, and I happily paid for the postage as soon as he said he'd sent them.
The box arrived! I had no doubt that they would, a random person who I did not know at all, said they would do something really nice, and I was sure it would be so.”

==============================
We are facing climate, economic and social crisis
Growing our economy is costing us our future
THERE IS ENOUGH
There is enough for all of us if we choose to live differently
TOGETHER, WE ARE ENOUGH!
Together we can find ways to move through times of crisis and beyond

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.
