Dear Fedi: please help me to help you. With all the clusterf*cks and fascist coup happening in the US: what data is important to preserve and keep spreading?

Already have been seeding the CDC dataset and Wikipedia dumps into oblivion (couple of hundreds of TBs of traffic) - but I'd like to do more.

If you know important projects that need this kind of help - preferably less than a TB in size - please share!

(boosts appreciated for visibility)

#Fediverse Failure ... People *must* build & invest in people, if it's about #Freedom. Else IT FAILS 100% like everything we see without people helping people!

Involving other people into your life is what is missing to help solve all the small things you'll never do alone - that's the TLDR.

I also mention Richard Stallman and other examples along the way because I respect him (adn you) - but could anyone in any movement not do the people work and be successful...

NO. 100%.

As far as I know (and asked most people) nobody is doing the people work like a niche waiting to happen... (ever get get that DONATE button only under "How you can help"?)

For a movement it's obvious that it is about people not even toilet paper money in 2years time ticking away it's value in the banks loaning it behind you back!...

But NOBODY wants to do this work even with that said... even the contact button will not get you a person sometimes that will work together with you to see if you say anything - UNLESS by chance you're this expensive thing we just happen to want right now! And even then you're discarded

☑️ PEOPLE HAVE 0 WORTH NOW.

So TODAY it's more about machines unfortunately....
Your website included if nobody is really behind them to check out your fans - and for those that reply only the paranoid behind site is there - made by people pretending they want attention or progression with people.

That's the main part done...

#Disclaimer over NOW LET US KICK TO PIECES the above so you hopefully realise and make a start on your NEW LIFE.

➡️ THE AIM:
➡️ WHAT'S YOUR REAL JOB IN LIFE... ?
To find something more than the casual entertainment or '#job' searching constantly, the passing time in a bit of #education - ton of rabbit-hole #politics and then quit out back to every day job and family... going nearly nowhere. Feeling like you might be growing a child but realise it's no better than your own desperate life seeking meaning in yet another mouth to feed with #fairytale stories built to be broken and then an agree look at you, around 18 or earlier - TRAITOR YOU ARE! (too many disney films will do that to you)

This is basically like a Twitter #Lifestyle of using Fediverse... under-appreciating the whole reason(s) we're here.

I don't under-estimate financial troubles you have and stupidity dumping all your money in a child the #state owns but by not spiraling out from your family, you're not even helping the finances or your child either (even that needs people behind it and even some people will do it for free ---> even if that is not the only main goal all the time and can involved paid people like I said with #Stallman - have a mixed tier of people who love what they do not all out #GNU / unpaid and not all out #paid by Google / BLING ).

Actually your usage is less than being on Twitter sometimes if your friends are not here or you're not planning to do anything but use this place for going to #FOSS a few times a year (which is nice - try cram in holiday and education in 3days great).

Without more people together working DAILY / weekly with what they have already, what they do already etc TOGETHER, then we can't do this #freedom stuff AT ALL. It's not just a yearly thing or temporary browse and virtue-signal click...

Hey #Techies - yeah you too - all the good code comes to an end and even in the trash 🗑️ once you've re-written it a million times and then they block an internet pipe or add something in browsers to change goal-posts or re-write something in phones (all happened before right?).

On some level there is always someone else controlling all this and that can be reached and stopped. #Mesh is a good idea but even still people are are they learning how to communicate other than "oh wow, look at this technology - err... ok been there done that - fucking weirdos" after 1 message.

We all have a lot of shit and need help with baggage -do politely pick and choose but do not ignore (do listen and read and get the feeling if genuine).

The enemy's will is too strong elsewhere to ignore the 99% for your 'saving time' and 'I'm busy' excuses while I see what your activity is like from your profile !
Yeah!
Our will is not matching their will so thing we do gets taken down quicker than we have got each other as friends.
Just as "users" we will lose and just get rounded up.

OK ARE YOU GAY AND FRISKY
OR SOMETHING ABOUT 'RELATIONSHIP' WITH ME - CUM ON

#Tinder is not a great example (by far) but imagine people can go as far as sex from just messaging and for us that could be just as great to work on #projects / find each other / space to do something / create from our own suggestions / accommodate each other right? (not sex)

BUT OH MY JOB AND FAMILY ARE ENOUGH! NOOOOOO
There is little real mutuality there and people are not in it to win it (win freedom).

My people, please just don't carry on doing the same $tate games mostly and expect the #shitshow you're paying for to stop or even beg for mercy -

STOP THAT FUCKING BEGGING SHIT - DON'T TRY TO USE LOGIC AND REASONING AGAIN WITH PROFESSIONALLY CRUEL PAID PEOPLE - IT'S UNINTELLIGENT TO GO BACK TO THEM... AND DECADES NOW...

THEY UNDERSTAND HOW YOU WORK, YOUR 100% GREAT REASONS - OVER AND OVER. WHICH THEY SIMPLY YAWN AT AND CONTROL - OR NEXT TIME AROUND WILL CHANGE IT BACK TO HOW IT WAS.

EFFORTS FAILS 100% like that other than together daily exploring more here to up ourselves (and other things with it but not bucketting water from boats with holes pre-drilled in the bottom and sold to you).

Don't wait for your job to fail before you do something about something... or banks to hold your money and not take it while your busy thinking the same number on your bank account statement is actually the same in 1 year (even if the number is).

These are professional bastards you're dealing with, and thought of maaany things...

They are not even listening to your begging while riding their yachts or what you think they really do apart from accumulate and spend on crap.

YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE "YOU AND ME" NOT STATE

Across everything you need to take care in order for all of it to be repaired slowly but surely (doesn't have to be all-in now but how useful it is to have one more willing person around or extra hands).

=====================
OK WHAT'S THE ANSWER AGAIN BUDDY? (YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL BAD AND BULLYING ME ALREADY!!)
=====================

So, what you do already is great, but try picking up the best of them/us here on Fediverse, or even just me to test it and leave a comment how I failed - this gives meaning - some meaning to you

Jump some hashtags and direct message people... and make contact happen...

REMEMBER:
Your 'nice' family and colleagues usually give NO SHITS and are not into doing anything other than "things for the money" as relative baseline to you and your "relationship" - which are not the way to fix anything long-term...

WHY MONEY NO SOLVE MI PROBLEMO?
because all money is #Debt see and increasingly given out loans de-bases all our existing value and dilutes our efforts out of existence (imagine mixing water with real juice - after a while it's just water).

VALUE PROPOSITION HERE?
So we're all proper people and proper value in many ways (we can't avoid that even if we lie a bit or exaggerate). It takes a lot of effort to fake it and even then doesn't work! So even if there are some shit people we're going to have to kick in online it's still more than doable and learning curves to make thing a bit forgivable... and no keys to my Lexus is ever going to be given let's face it.

(again YOUR family and other 'Trust' don't work great AND OFTEN they don't give a fuck if you tried convincing them already 100 times! About #religion, about #waste, #petrol, #war, buying crap... Lots of us are leaving family as we speak I'm sure...)

YOU NEED TO...

Work how I want / we want (yes it's not just you but others so it's also a balance of me AND YOU - but after taking the time looking at the profile we can do more I'm sure or call it 'attempted' - leave a note in their "NOTE" section to see who you already tried with).

Literally aim to work together from the very start and find that #magic #combination between you, will appear - do try like your life / our lives depended on it Batman/kindperson!

If you're too #comfortable / #bourgeois you're probably going to move on from this post and say you have work in the morning and turning the heating up full blast.

But if you know - then every person who tries or writes a post like this DESERVES to be found out and used. You strike gold instantly from persistence / dedication or passion - whatever I have that money can't buy.. even if you don't see it yet. It's there.

If you think you can only pay people to work and expect happiness through the state relationship taxing your asses for #war...
YOU'RE WRONG!
WE SEE IT ALREADY!

History I think proves it over and over... It's nice for a few month (at the beginning) and then it gets boring or you get kick out when they downsize... whatever.

Do the fucking maths - they are raking it in Billions AND 'somehow' it also gets worse the more they get. Hmmm - See how this dark 'magic' works proportionately with money and them making their own rules?
Yes let's hope the job changes something FUCK OFF!

(NOT ABUSING YOU)

The real work is done without paying the $tate that #oppresses you and when people do it anyway for #free why not use them #mutually?

Then you can consider monetising it. For now keep things as they are but increment growing #relationship #relativity between people FIRST.

Your family and money-related relationships are not the way! (because even they don't even work great or you think they do until you talk politics for 10mins! ------> Go ahead and try AND LET ME KNOW HOW IT WENT / IF THERE IS REAL CHANGE!)

What #RMS and other people here (yes even on Fediverse!) are not doing is the same elsewhere - not increasing peer-to-peer / horizontal work. ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ ↔️ #P2P #SEEDING IF YOU WILL ALLOW THAT SIMILARITY...

So for example if #RichardStallman himself can't do the work, then at least he could organise the fans a bit to do it themselves (a bit like an official forum helps others as volunteer) in a pyramid to provide help TO THE MANY but also work in a more personal way more Mastodon based.
That is the next level after that forum style messaging like the actual work to to fulfill more of everyone's wants and even let them dream a bit).

ALL these people getting followed currently on Fediverse ARE NOT doing working together... Maybe I will list the best of them... but I don't even want to advertise them as they don't provide much and will even disappoint you after some 'very nice posts' we all have enough of. You want to touch the stars and be more like one (even without the #Gary #Glitter).

And then even celebrate a new us each time.... as fans, as unique people! That is the golden egg or whatever! 🥚 <--- need a golden emoji egg please on the double!

For example I'm happy to organise and talk to #RMS fans even let them comment on me - we can stop anytime too!

A more balanced way (a practical togetherness not just for geeks / admin / #Techies) or even stop-start can happen to test things but I feel like I need a bit of 'official' backing to get the some "weirdos" together (even weirdos can't accept other weirdos these days, that's how bad it is) so it becomes more X-Men style togetheness- even if I'm the guy in the wheelchair called Charles :)
I'll take that! ♿

It's like totally proportional that if other people don't really matter anymore

...or only matter when part of a $tate or $ubsidiary relation$hop (I mean #relationship excuse the previous typo)... then what else does it lead to...

more fascism of course! (hierarchical authoritarian #government) right?
That grows from you doing near-nothing to the above.

It can almost only lead there. And so we see it happen - #fire 🔥 everywhere and even people comment the "oh no not again"

It's like smelling their own finger and expecting different (ok that monkey video is funny) but common now, enough watching the #shitshow hashtags already.

🔥 = #Trump #Musk #Zuckerberg #Bezos #Banks #Bank #Debt $ #Business
#USPol #UKPol ETC

"Europäisches Internet" - Was soll das eigentlich sein? 🤔

Ja, Hosting innerhalb vom Geltungsbereich Europäischen Rechts (#DSGVO etc. pp.) ist super; keine Frage.
Aber wie sicher ist dieser Zustand? Mit Blick auf Österreich, Frankreich, Italien, Niederlanden, Ungarn, usw. - von Deutschland nach der Wahl noch gar nicht zu sprechen...

Imho: Es rettet uns kein Gott, kein Kaiser, kein Tribun - und auch keine EU.

Was sind davon möglichst unabhängige Verfahren?

#Richard #Spinrad, administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( #NOAA ), said the government-backed body was estimating the effects of some of the likely techniques for #geoengineering, including those involving the oceans.
“My own belief is that we need to get a better understanding of what the impacts are,” he said.
“I suspect some aspects of geoengineering are going to be an important component of the solution to reducing global warming, and all of the impacts of global climate change, like ocean acidification.”

Potential geoengineering techniques include #seeding the oceans with #iron to absorb more carbon dioxide,
or #spraying #water from the oceans into low-level clouds to reflect some of the sun’s radiation.
Spinrad said understanding the potential impact of geoengineering on the oceans was vital.
“If we were to undertake an effort in some things like iron fertilisation [of the oceans], what are the consequence to the ecosystem of doing that? [Also important is] building good predictive models … and supporting decision-makers,” he said.
NOAA is focusing on the potential for the oceans to sequester CO2, a process known as marine carbon dioxide removal.

The agency’s researchers are also working closely with universities and government scientists in the UK on the potential for the shutdown of the systems driving the Gulf Stream ocean currents.
Evidence has recently been presented that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#Amoc ) may be rapidly weakening, over decades rather than centuries, under the impact of heating oceans and melting ice, and its shutdown could be catastrophic for Europe and other regions.

Effects of geoengineering must be urgently investigated, experts say

Impact on ecosystems must be predicted before technology…

@RosethornRangerTTV
oh that's a good question, maybe the question in especially early stage organizing, and I don't have a single answer for it since it always depends. maybe that is the answer.

assuming you can agree on some mutually shared goal or outcome, but the way there seems impossible, figure out why that is. I think when ppl daydream they sort of implicitly imagine at least the outlines of what it would take to make real (if that's desirable, some daydreams are bad daydreams), so I always start by trying to understand what that barrier looks like for them.

more often than not it's bc they imagine themselves doing it alone, or can't picture getting other people involved. so that usually looks like convincing them they can't be the only one with the same dream, identifying potential existing groups to work with, or helping through an initial phase of putting ppl in contact.

there's a tactic in union organizing (and I'm sure elsewhere) of "snowballing little wins." say you want to organize a union in your workplace. you could just 0 to 100 try and Start It and call an election ASAP if your coworkers are already aligned and ready, if that works you're extremely lucky. you could also start smaller, get a few coworkers together, advocate as a group for some shared interest like idk a coffee machine in the break room or whatever. that feels good to the ppl involved and demonstrates the power of what we can do together - the smallness of the win is the point, if we can do this thing with hopefully minor effort, what could we do if we were more organized? roll that group onto another win, picking up whoever you can, and so on.

So I also try that a lot, eg. by making some minimal version of something as an example, or pulling off a small action or event to build trust among a group. that's something I have been less good at lately bc depressed, but showing someone something is indeed very possible because look at that we just did a little piece of it is very different than just persuading them.

related but still complementary to the much more general tactic of breaking the problem into smaller pieces - what's impossible about that? ok so what if we did something first that made that impossible thing less of a problem, repeat. what's the mini al

on the other side of lowering barriers to action is raising the perceived stakes of inaction. eg. bring it up slowly, gently, but repeatedly, demonstrating how the lack of that thing impacts their life in potentially unexpected ways. IT is too slow. maybe it wouldn't be if you had shared governance. the university decided to turn off the AC in our building. maybe they wouldn't if you had shared governance, etc. This is delicate because you don't want to harangue people, but do it in such a way where you're on their side (hopefully you are!) - "yes that is bullshit, and I know you have your doubts but this is one of the reasons I was talking about xyz." people like empathy and being able to vent about stuff. people do not like know-it-alls that don't shut up about stuff. (I can be bad at this when I'm not actively trying to organize ppl but just passively venting, and friends will remind me I'm not being helpful to my own cause, which is true lmao).

context is extremely important but also intangible and difficult to define. I usually try and establish a context that something might happen in, so rather than some abstract idea that we can do, it has a name, a space, etc. that concretizes things and helps feeling like you've already started. You also have to know when people have soured on a context - even if they still share the same goal, they don't believe x group can do it or y has shifted direction. you yourself can also be the context, so sometimes you need to take a step back and let them cook on things on their own for awhile. it's sometimes hard to know when you've reached the point where you should cut your losses and start over, refresh context, but I think it often comes sooner than ppl are willing to admit - maintenance is noble and you should try and make things work when you can, but letting a group break up and reform, even if it's a lot of the same ppl, can be healthier than trying to get it working again where eg. some people might no longer feel welcome, the sense of futility has taken over, etc.

anyway that's just a couple tactics out of like infinitely many of them. I would never call myself an expert on the topic, other ppl more seasoned than I probably have better ideas, and if I had active haters they could probably point to a dozen times I have failed or fucked these up.

I spend most of my time planting seeds in the hopes that other ppl run with them bc I can't possibly tend to all of them, so u have to know that balance too - when should you commit to driving something ahead yourself (with others, hopefully), and when are you casting seeds hoping some of them sprout. often the best way to get ppl to do something you think would be a good idea is to help them believe it's their idea, and usually it is anyway, at least in part, they just need a little push. none of this should feel manipulative, we're helping each other to feel powerful, not tricking each other ❤️
