Good point, however is @libreoffice also a 'brand' perhaps we can encourage the people who share our values. We want to promote free software for example but also the values that make up free software.

I am not sure, but teachers really do need to believe that their students can achieve to the best they can be.

Low self esteem can be one factor, brought on by others not thinking they can do' we have failed before we even try sort of thing.

Maybe with this group have a look at

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/growth-mindset

but also find out what they think is holding them back, what ARE they good at, what ARE they not so good at, reflecting on the positive at least means you are not thinking I am never going to get anywhere.

Not sure if this helps,

Thing is, it is possible to set up a 'bot' account that is used to just relay content. So I guess for example a blog which just posts news or other updates can be followed by the 'bot' account.

So not all word press blogs allow comments, I think what is still important to monitor how many follow, and boost but at least for a business have an account on here to back up any announcements with a human who can interact.

I think over time, people will find there is benefit to doing that.

@mametsuko I am not an expert at #German or #Yoga, but feel free to ask questions on here and see if you can get some help, perhaps post a link to courses so people have some context.

Thanks. I can see more people moving over to here in the next few weeks.

@nextcloud I have set up a post to share this on 26/11/2022

@ernmander@floss.social

By next year I would hope they would have an account on here.

Paignton Picture house closed in about 1998, this was an old cinema and has recently undergone restoration. While not yet complete people were allowed in Today to see for the first time and find out more about the restoration project.

Paignton Picture House closed its doors in 1999 and sat vacant without an identified role within our community. A grade II* listed building recognised for its historic and architectural significance, it was added to Historic England’s Heritage at Risk Register and highlighted as one of the top 10 priority sites in the south west.

@aral This could go down as one of the biggest tech/ business mistakes in modern times.

Of course that mistake has benefited the fediverse immensely

@jgoerzen Over the past week or so the quality of interaction on Mastodon has vastly improved.

Twitter was poor from the start,
