Direct Messages are accidentality to self (user forgets to add name or misspells it which is easy to do).
So a symbol or box or exclamation or self note system can show message is just sent to self and not to anybody
Often people think it's sent (but not to anyone else by self so distinguishing can be very useful for catching mistakenly send messages to self)
Also wrote more here about how to check it yourself (like double-checking):

"Show More" button like we have now with CW button but withOUT the CW status:)
To make posts shorter and titles expandable without CW status.
Seems most of the code is already there.
@gme
Didn't know about it - I suggest maybe putting that as option or for the next time...
@floppy @mike @feditips @humanetech @wiredfire @techaddressed @joeldebruijn
For hashtag aesthetics I vote for somethign human readable either:
#WordpressToFediverse
or
#ActivityPubToWordpress
#WP2Fedi is ok too but for people already typing #Wordpress it will give them #WordpressToFediverse as autofill suggestion
@boogah
Any thoughts on how it works when we have enough code or free stuff but need money to live (so free in that system ends up with people having less money which would be good / amazing if system was also working towards that rather than more the opposite at justification "we need to be paid" which is really "we need to tax you and get paid ourselves the % per hour you make even if every can be done more free!"
Also feel sorry for those that don't get donated as constantly out-freeing others or being replaced (like "this app is all I'd ever want, oh but this one allows changing of colour (or something totally unimportant until it's possible and 'another' thing to divide others about)
hmmm

Agree, people play this honest / straight way and it's anything but... and the politics of others overrule all this logic for what is a leaning tree to shit-show for profit by almost whatever causes problems as that causes leverage or scarcity, bends people better at the mercy of their cruel psychology or system-backed 'logic' psychology.
I'll be in this chat room now if you want to join about this topic (no software needed, just browser!)
I'd like to hear more on this kind of stuff

@10g1k
Where have you see what you mention for example? I think people are wise enough, if serious enough about any job to 'hide' that.
Also wondering why you wrote this in the first place (mostly the first two points / suggestions).
Thanks
@esther@101010.pl @10g1k
Agreed with this as reality but agree also with 10g1k for intention / virtue or how it should be.

Hi, I'm a walking FreeSchool, motivator, or catalyst; coach, or assistant or educator, link to others... many things...
Mostly I help get people doing themselves what they link and some kind of feeling of liberty / autonomy after a spark or some conversation to help genuinely open and grow mind while actually just being friends. Being able to listen and really believe them or believe in them is important (it's really genuine, all people are ace). A bit like therapy too which we all need to help overcome the mental obstacles as change can seem simple for some but not everyone from big tasks to small... but together or with 1 other very responsive person (me) quite easy.
So if that's interesting for you ( or others on this page) and you're interested in growing people's mindset as way for everything else to fall under it... then let's talk via Jitsi Meet.
https://meet.jit.si/chataboutit
It's about educating along the way to meeting... clearing some questions or misconceptions.
This can be done instantly like Skype or Zoom BUT JITSI MEET is the free software equivalent (no account or installing any software needed!) so just 1 or more persons and for example they / we hope in and meet ANYTIME here: https://meet.jit.si/chataboutit
I also can moderate group chats (soft or strictly) while being easy-going but not too shy and constructive to do things, review after etc. Really helps everything turn around better.
It's about really being friends to solve the world too and help practise / accept the imperfections of humanity rather than totally solve them or expect it in one go.
Education and solving people's mentality in increments is what will take us wherever we individually want or as a group or movement (humanity itself as the overall movement perhaps!). Conversation is no problem for me! Like even 20mins from this message or whenever you read... just DM anytime.
Hi fediverse! Boosts appreciated on this one.
I’m part of a co-op building a platform for artists to sell art without getting exploited. I’ve been working on it for a while but there’s a lot of work to do and I could use some help. A ton of the main features are in place, but there’s still some big gaps and a lot of polish left before it can launch.
The platform is fully open source and developed in the open. It’s built on Phoenix/Elixir and Tailwindcss. Our co-op is already incorporated and established and it’s open to members that want to actually commit but you don’t need to be a member to contribute or help.
Does this sound interesting? I’d love some help! I’m also happy to answer questions. And no, you don’t need to know Elixir already. It’s pretty easy to learn for the things you’d be using it for. Even some design help would be welcome. Feel free to reply here or DM me!

I've been toying with a project idea as of lately. Despite working in information security I'll never be 'cool' - I'm not a malware analyst, my threat intelligence skillset is highly limited, I won't ever produce amazing security tools like other people. I've accepted that.
But, what I can do: Support others at doing all of these things. I know what hassle it can be to want to get a website for your cool projects up and running, but not really knowing where to start, and how.
Or being in the position of not being able to afford reasonable hosting that's not a horrible freemium-hoster that sells your data and bombards your readers with ads (Yes, I am indeed looking at you Medium).
I thought to myself to offer people sort of a one-stop-shop for basic Internet needs. Shell-access to run tools, mail-account with a domain that's not GMX, live.com or something like that and the ability to host their blog, journal, website and so on. Free of charge.
Concept-wise it would be similar to the Tildeverse, with the difference being that I would try to help out folks with setting up whatever they have issues with & with the offering specifically targeted at, but not limited to, groups that are otherwise often at a disadvantage (for example beginners, young people, groups that suffer discrimination).
I've not yet fully sketched out everything, but I wanted to hear what people think. My reach within the Fediverse is highly limited, so I would much appreciate any boosts and / or feedback. So I can find out if this would actually be useful to anyone. :)
Make your own private music and podcast streaming service with Nextcloud Music:
https://growyourown.services/review-of-music-app-for-nextcloud
Overall this was really nice!
You need to supply the music files and podcast addresses yourself, but once that's done you get a proper private, independent streaming service that also works on mobile apps.
BTW, do check out @powderpaint, especially their album Powderpaint and track Constellation

A nice video of Traditional aboriginal Didgeridoo using circular breathing - thanks
SAME VIDEO IS BELOW BUT NO ADVERTS AND NO TRACKING !

----------------------------
And some fun comments from video
----------------------------
I really liked the part where he went
"boyoooyoooooboyoooyoooboyoyoyoyoooooooo."
----------------------------
after you play the didge you’re very calm and centred, the vibration of your whole head and body is therapeutic
----------------------------
This sound touches the soul! Cannot get enough of the didgeridoo........thanks for this video!
----------------------------
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...
Just follow and put notifications on to TEST MY FEED.... the rest below is just over-info for most poeple.
Open Learning School or Freedom University...
------------------------------------
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!).
Podcast Examples:
1. Gary Ackerman's thoughts on AI
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111867522723922385
2. The Little Prince book
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845561003150354
3. Fantasy genre from a fan's perspective

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...!
