FREESCHOOL SENTIMENTS
This audio summarises why Mastodon or any social media does work with some people...
" I realised that maybe response videos or just back and forths wouldn't help- I didn't want to make it (this talk) a drama, if that makes sense... in my opinion I think that we agree on way more than what we disagree on, and what we disagree on is just misunderstanding on each other's parts or miscommunication or things that can be cleared up with a discussion basically, so I thought why not just reach out and we can have a conversation "

FURTHER COMMENTS:
IF people don't practice discourse with strangers (on a topic or freeform) then basically they often get don't get the right idea (even if they might agree they be wrong)
This audio is great as someone else said it (while in conversation with someone else) and it's a lot more credible as example...
I feel it's hopeless to try convince people who don't want to talk audibly and instead 'hide' or stay defensively behind computer text...
I know there is more reason and psychology to why some people don't audio chat about something they care about but I can say now is more the time than later - to care more than text people and expect understanding / progress !
May any 'revolution' not be just text!
