@garyackerman This is a good post for Mastodon or Twitter because "Social presence isn’t community." is a good quote here by #GaryAckerman.
Any #platform and people that aren't really building actively, with people daily, and personally, remains "just another platform" or "slightly better" version of #Twitter and *never* quite a movement that way with people towards training to respect each other / learning what that means / dedicating themselves more than distracting themselves via #SocialMedia and the same imported stuff elsewhere / #mainstream.
The point is: rather than people making personal things and improve or work together / merge things, they would rather you are over there and they here... never to question themselves or be questioned by others towards #freedom or similar things which finger can be put on... if willing to #learn.
So the #tech is there but not the will of people building *each other up* (not waiting for #Trump or another magic way, just to do it themselves #DIY).
Many DO NOT want to do much of this building personally or being responsible (even with what they #like and #love) and that is almost the #reason why we have #war or others doing #wars for us exist because FRANKLY we can't make #FRIENDS (with anyone!) and can't maintain anything more than an aesthetic on or offline (you would think it's easier online even to pretend since it's more distant). And job and colleagues are often not deep friends or can't be under contract, so even they can come and go as the work does! If you ever leave your work or made redundant you'll soon realise this and what "friend: can mean in modern day disposable life.
Basic #Friendships for the way - but it's not on the agenda for most - to make the world less about strangers and more about work with them. Friends eventually and each at their own definition I think is possible.
Building the people up, on top of Tech...
