Mastodon helps gives Google YouTube adverts from our links 99999999 per day - it bugs me...
because there is a better way already...
(use filtering sites... redirect.invidious.io)

It's a loss of our efforts not to...
Easy fix / can be optional replacement by Mastodon itself...
Hope Mastodon makes option to turn all youtube.com/ links to
redirect.invidious.io/
(switch on and off to make optional sure!)
We have choices like @invidious ...
LET US USE IT!!!
At least a few people higher up could endorse this and get it actioned... BOOST!! 🚀
I'd like to continuing to educate about filtering the bad code amd ask heads of code makers and software to implement replacement of server words - simple.... redirect.invidious.io ...
To filter aggressive tracking / dangerous ways for freedom...

This message will self-destruct / perishable / time set expiry of messages...?
#Mastodon #Suggestion #Feature #Upgrade #Worries
I wish I could pick and choose features in Mastodon instead of worry for asking for features and perhaps getting upgrades that might change other things too much.
● So to make posts self-destructive for example would make for a lot of clarity and even save some space.
I could set a default expiry time (especially if it didn't involve upgrading Mastodon to change existing requirements - like a plugin or just checkbox to enable feature).
● I think newer Mastodon's have this but haven't see screenshot -
anyone know / seen how it works?
I don't like things that need the latest browser
WHY / RESULTS:
Self-cleaning / Less:
██ Low Quality Messages
██ Ethereal / Temporary remarks
██ Clutter in timeline / better Pruning as-you-go rather than WTF after years of crap
Mark for deletion after 1 week etc... would helps
Making Public Timeline presentation of each profile better is the aim here,.
People hiding their shit replies from main timeline to leave their best ones... even after a week could help see the best stuff
Users could go around deleting and pruning timeline from time to time but really setting it from beginning makes sense as that is time *you know* your message is not meant to last...
Vocabulary for Marking as Messages:
█ Perishable Messages
█ Self-destruct Messages
█ Time-expiring Messages
█ De-cluttering

█ [snip...] Not to mention that a lot of Mastodon users don't understand how Mastodon works. They think it must have a pool of all accounts and all posts and all that somewhere, and the BridgyFed Bluesky bridge will give Bluesky unlimited access to it all.
They also think that Bluesky will be able to post nasty stuff to everyone, even those who aren't connected to anyone on Bluesky.
They think the same about Threads, because in their heads, they're still on Twitter where the secret-sauce algorithm would probably allow for that to happen.

Hi @freemo, questions about dealing with federation from more commercial entities:
█Can it be possible to continue as it is now and then opt-in from preferences? To switch on per user each as the main thing to do with federating with BlueSky and Thread.net.
Perhaps more will come but these 2 for now since they are especially commercial / less like Mastodon.
An all or nothing switch, started "off" first to continue without being embedded / scraped, and then each user decides to change, not not.
So before more happens with more commercial versions of Mastodon etc (essentially making for hybrid Fediverse perhaps), I would le want to see if those 2 things were possible?

Who owns Google or YouTube?... Can you name anyone related to Google?....... Anyone? Did you ever think why you don't know anything about that?...
Who owns Google or YouTube?....
Can you name anyone related to Google or YouTube?.......
Anybody at all?
Did you ever think why you don't know anything about that?...
So I think it's interesting to reflect that. AND a big blind spot of people (especially if you are pro or against google).
Bashing Mark Zuckerberg for Facebook
is one thing but somehow Google
got away with things...
I'll mention some info as potential answers below of those related, not as hate but just being aware who's behind most of it.
Larry Page... CEO before 2015
Sundar Pichai... CEO of 2015+
Sundar Pichai also became the CEO of Alphabet (parent company) 2019+
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google
So not having the same attention for Google is something to check in ourselves if we have feeling either way.
#Fediverse vs Google / YouTube #Capitalism
How fast you are when there something in it for you! (It's about getting better right and less excuses?)...
(my response to "I'm busy" or other reasons not sure working with strangers / the world)
It's amazing how fast a person is online when it's something I or others are doing for you!
This comment is not made negatively - I'm glad for very real reasons but most is laziness or excuses for not wanting to explore the unknown. I measure this by how fast people are (sorry you can't hide this!) and how online and not really busy they are even with concessions about that!)
This is just to show, similar to picture, that actually you do have time, you do squeeze things in and you do see the point... once you have the will or incentive carrot. But sometimes more logic and love needs to be used... almost for halloing worldwide peace to happen (as general as that sounds it comes from smaller working together).
So dear friend or potential friends...
Let all that jazz about being busy be seen as simply a carrot thing... and it's not that I knock that for yourself but the bar can be a bit too low where ONLY you do things for carrots and not when I or others ask for something and just generally giving freely to the universe is not seen as credible or why as reason (which I hope I provide now).
The picture is not to insult you but to say that if you act like an animal (only via carrot) then that is what we become.
Somewhat in crapitalism we have to train ourselves out of capitalism and into the Fediverse as real alternative!
for everything!
(The Fediverse ways of sharin, ethics and communication basically)
Don't let anything get in the way of progress (increment please) and rather than blocking just start / continue in small amounts...
Often people assume they have to do all of it now or do the same like me. Noooo.... Just starting is good enough and believing in people and then measuring on what really happens rather than aesthtics.
Thanks overall
Isn't it about being more real and getting better / balancing everyone?

I promise to give you money if you can help solve sending / receiving it... without BigTech and Banks in between (or with much le$$).
I'm not sure about Crypto but maybe if you show me simple steps from start to finish (or detailed simple steps) then in this case I will really look at trying to send it to you for your efforts or offer my time in other ways (but has to be good and fairly future-proof / fool-proof for less scamming).
If you can visit me and we reach some enlightenment then in person it would be easier in the way.
DM for more info. And help solve this problem.

Instant Notification when User Posts! (video how)
█ small pop-up message when you click the 🔔 bell for any user.
█ pop-up fades out after a few seconds after showing first few lines...
Don't miss posts or fall behind.
Check as you go online, not later, later, never!
#FEDIVERSE #TIP - INSTANT NOTIFICATIONS *PER USER* = MORE RESPONSIVE FEDIVERSE!...
#FEDIVERSE #TIP = INSTANT NOTIFICATIONS *PER USER*
█HOW TO TEST IT? ENABLE / DISABLE?
👤 On user profile page: 👤
click follow :follow
(or you already follow) and
🔔 then click bell 🔔 button which appears only after follow is accepted.
█Instant notifications means posts are not piled up so much or lost in 100's of other follows- buried in the timeline... they are more of a priority or valued seeing the pop up and disappear quite discreetly and without interaction needed with popup.
█Then when bored go to browse timeline for the other people you probably have forgotten or don't have time for!
█So this way you read 1 by 1 as it pops up for a few seconds on screen, and ignore or reply. This helps considering replying in the now sense and not later.
█No need catch up later so much, read now and while people need each other / don't want to forget !

It's about changing / opening our minds...
I give people time and I thnk that's the difference to others online who really don't have or give time and give up on people really easy... (don't mean to be competitive, no put-downs, just I more dedicate time to others and weave us together).
So you don't even have to read any of this because EVERYTHING needs time + communication and without that a lot is broken and even less human even if it's for good...

A lot you might be at length and depth, but if you're easy about it, you can take the best and even take me along to understand life with others!
To learn and do everything practically! (this is a practical living (and gets stuff done as much as we can).
Fan of Fediverse!
Quick Look - peace-loving work / services:
█ Mini-Podcast (few mins each, examples below)
█ Picture remixes / video remixes
█ Lessons without being too 'teacher' about it. Teacher has teeth for eliminating doubt.
█ Food for thought as gentle soul also.
█ Unique ideas - often impossible for professionals (they are burdened by financial repsonsibility and therefore associational risk in saying things). I'm more diverse and occasionally direct (with respect, though I don't shy away from reminding people).
█ Not too embarrassing to say "I don't know" but can still chase things.
█ More responsive than casual users usually because people think having 'job' is enough in life. I say it's not! And even faimily is of no use if it's only getting worse (in everything!).

I help people create audio / edit educational audio / podcast / music / visual short videos / transcript text
+ I like to add a bit humour while being quite strict in my own politics (opinions) but open / inviting for others to tell me what I should do if they can explain more than just a short comment (I don't mind it's healthy for me at least if you have logic and can stand yourself explaining).
FreeSchool is about Learning towards Freedom (which is about Uniting everyone slowly, even "1 by 1"... Easy with The Fediverse!
Not virtue signalling here only, but practise of EVERYTHING as we go. Judged by getting in contact (many have) and having courage to communicate (or seeking it from others is ok, EVERYONE needs a bit of courage or hand-holding to make big personal changes). Who else is there for example if family doesn't understand?
Learning and watching can be good and staying out of people's way, BUT better is doing something every day and helping each other with some tough decisions / lessons... and then being bold enough to do them. 1... 2... 3 that is all that's needed.
Let my posts do most of the talking.
Put me on notification (click bell that appears after follow ia accepted) and if it's not interesting switch off after and tick me off the list of potential people to follow daily!
Media version of my posts here... open link for later... good for visual scrolling version and judge me on that I don't mind...
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/media
I'm usually impressed with my media gallery as I work on posts a lot usually or hit the "Aha!" moments and capture it (other people may forget it for years, not me!).
Freedom is about *making it work together* better like using #Mastodon on the #Fediverse daily for better platforms with more #bestpractices and 'best' people to help us which I kind of collect here and
when it's #1 comment!
I am measurably better because I reply and stick to everything to the end(!)
No cancelling friendship suddenly without saying why or being moody!
Freedom is to Learn, Respect and Love eventually and ️to Unite!
Practically it's also like Tetris - add yourself to the puzzle and watch it all happen...
█▬▄▀ ╚ ╦ ╝╠╧
talk more on Mastodon and the Fediverse and puzzle it all out using better ways to less use the other bad commercial / extractive people...
L£$$ of the less caring people like the ggl's / ytb / gmail / mainstream communication points etc who are offering lots of space 'free' and it's not free of peace there.
We GIVE to real people (TIME NOT JUST MONEY).
There's no buy-in solution - we have to make it with selotape or whatever we have - it's not shameful to bring whatever you have.
FreeSchool is terminology put together from many good things from past (coined in 1950's/60's. I / we become it eventually through being.
It's a movement for Freedom via Learning it all (learning self included and less active stuff) and doing the learning *together* --> https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeschool.
I encourage you warmly to participate with me as a I have time and then spiral out naturally to others (we are part of humanity and so naturally a sort of evangelism or ecological pyramid of life as we choose to spread lesser suffering while accepting consuming is part of it).
Less-commercial in orientation (in everything) and happy to think / work for free.
Naturally you will hesitate if someone is sure of themself or ok standing on shoulders what we copy do the best from humbly but not too sterile either.
Based on just emotions ruins almost everything, which seems very common - very ungraceful - so don't disconnect... do it gracefully at least!
A "school" of thought is here you can interact / ask and make best together as free/low cost as possible.
Even a bad answer you can take best from (of course I won't know all your situation when I suggest something but I don't need to answer 100% - you also need to help me!).
Leave perfectionism, we are all imperfect humans! Let's do it... Choose something ANYTHING and keep the thoughts rolling together...!
