@Gargron Why did nobody vote by the way?

Also I want to use this opportunity to say we need more #INTERACTION itself as a focus branch of Mastodon (which is mostly text-based). This in turn will give you and us benefits...

If I say "Mastodon doesn't directly encourage social events or activity beyond aesthetics" I think it's mostly true.

A branch of Mastodon to help gather groups by 1 or two keen people like me (free) goes a long way from text-mainly ways to audio chats and really bonding / finding relativity more.

Because even the best social engine (like it is now) does maybe near-0 for helping people pool together to interact REGULARLY.

The non-talkers / too-polite / inhibited Tech people NEED HELP to express more personally and develop their social side as part of the sport of social and moving together...

We can find a focus and help others talk aloud with each other as the main sport of socialising and finding others who want to be found at the same time as problem-solving as a bonus individually or for Mastodon...

ANSWER = #JITSI
#Jitsi chats are a simple enough way and SUPER-quick to join as individuals into circles to say hi and what we're looking for / what we can help with.

So even as text it would be great to have a regular circle but even after text something like audio chat is something great MORE COMPLETE AS A SOCIAL. #WHATSAPP ETC HAVE AUDIO RECORD for example...

A pool of people (as resources) is not really being used currently as there are a lot of us with free time and resources to #GIVE!... #SHARE ETC

E.G Fixing a laptop audiably, live-talking about German politics, graphics design etc etc.

People don't know how to speak / be more human is my main point. Need a place to practice! Text isn't human-enough today.

Tech is developing hardware and software NOT developing people (which is part of solving the human psycho-social problems).

A person holds value in themselves better in many ways than an Americanised computer, and even if it ahuman is not as much data a person holds their #principles and #history with whatever they do AND can consider others and their principles a lot better.

TECH IS LARGELY ERASABLE / OVER-WRITABLE / CAT AND MOUSE / #RUGPULL ETC. People hold it long term better and can explain to others,,,

I find assuming people to hunt people, job, events for themselves and hunt other humans isn't really great and could be more easier with a bit of help from the Social engine itself! - WE NEED MASTODON (living staff) TO HELP PRACTICE SOCIALISING AT SPECIFIC MINI-EVENTS / MINI-CHATS!

I'm not saying #Mastodon takes all responsibility but ME recommending and doing all this means a different / strange things rather than trusted Mastodon or testing crew being happy to test / try it...

For a social movement it needs to be socialising itself else just empty...
( 🖼️ ok some cat pictures and single replies / arguments but not really developing people, justs develops the empty-ish tech site increasingly Americanised even if it isn't all).

It's like a social engine going to church only on Sunday's (or in this case #Caturdays') and that's it - not really progressing life, staying in cat-pic mode / non-deep discussion. It's killing us.

For more-real socialising, we need more than just one or two text replies - actually a Jitsi chat / RTMP is A
PERFECT TO #TALK INSTANTLY
