First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

I love that qoto.org does not engage in censorship and let's the user decide. It's part of why I picked this domain. At the same time it's amazing how many swastikas and nooses I don't have to scroll past on the federated tl anymore after blocking just one domain.

Leaders can Oppress or Impress and often both to garner followers.

What makes a leader and good leadership. First its important to recognize that good is highly subjective.

A leader is a leader because people choose to follow, thats it.

All the templates we design to state what makes a good leader are only cultures we create.

Consider these questions for various people including the few I put down.

1. was x a leader?
2. was x an effective leader?
3. was x a good leader IYO?

x =
genghis khan
gahndi
dalai lama
hitler
justin trudeau
britney spears
jim jones
anyone

... in fact most everyone has lead at some point to some degree.

Monoculture is dangerous and the organic process will always favor diversity, good, bad, grey.. naturally. Even the divesity of leaders that themselves are not diverse such is the nature of the infinite chaos/order we live within. There have been many chaotic souls demanding and creating order of their own designs.

for better or for worse everything is subjective and some cultures are totally different then our own.

When attacking a leader consider that you are also attacking their followers.

IMO

A leader is a person people choose to follow.

A effective leader satisfies their followers and goals.

A good leader is subjective.

Hello I am Matt, I joined mastodon a few times and recently lost my account on librem.one due to some technical issues and a misunderstanding. Anyway here I am starting over again, I had considered running my own instance but seemed to hold similar values so here I am.

I love the outdoors and computing. Philisophically I think personal is the ultimate persuit of expression and hapiness, while engaging with other free individuals we create a understanding society. The only way to have a and respectful is to respect others freedoms.

This love of freedom like is also important in computing. should be a bigger topic in the mainstream, even if someone is not technically compotent, it should be easy to understand that the blueprints to the software that run our dams, electrical, city halls, science, communication etc, etc.. is very important.

My hope is to share various passions of mine here on qoto and find new friends in the fediverse. Eventually see all the people I love on fediverse. This is more ethical platform for social connectedness and more natural like the p2p nature of in person communicatrion.

Here are a list of some of my interests in hash tags:

I'll attempt to repost this and add tags as time goes on.

libraries cannot be neutral (meme & other social media site link) 

Over on the birdsite, Dr. Robin James reiterates: "All claims for the non ideological or apolitical character of X are political and ideological claims." twitter.com/doctaj/status/1228

Considering all the asinine approaches to "neutrality" in libraries lately, I had to make this image to help reinforce the point.
