Do you think it works to have an account and use commercial things like Facebook in order to get your Free Software / Freedom movement going in a way you would like to spread it?
More info / background:
So even in a backwards / unobvious way / counter-intuitive way - do you think this works to go there and have an account yourself?
Disclaimer: Personally I don't think so NO (here's so reasoning why. I prefer it to be grown organically or from means that reach people more safely - the means justifies the end, more than the quick lazy way somewhat provided by the forbiddable USA! More quality and reason to be active without 'help' from GAMAM [ Google, Amazon, Meta, Apple, Microsoft and whoever gov included ]... Facebook GMAFIA GAFFA MAMAA and FAANG by coming up with the acronym MANAMANA, which includes Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, Nvidia, and Adobe. (A zillon BigTech acronyms that might as well be all of them) because it seems to me to grow 'free software' or 'Freedom' while they grow bigger is somewhat stupid.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Tech
So while the other way is long, hard, involves brain power and involves less shortcuts ( every follower has to get it from word of mouth, IRC, XMPP, Mastodon, their own realising endless scroll is bad etc) the idea is eventually a good way (even if you think it will never happen) so you can get people on-board 1 by 1... not just to ht subscribe BUT ACTUALL MOVE!
Without too much emotion here btw, JUST NO for the nicely made 'shortcuts'/short-traps from being personally used and indicating/doxing others also as future-evidence... from publicly / less-private pushing USA servers and platforms...
SUMMARY FOR EDUCATED CHOICE
YES - You think it works as overall 'better', can us them more than they use you
NO - You think selling out = more bad work is done than any good and USA resources are far superior to let any roots grow from their platforms and in fact it could be just a easy detection system / alarm ringer / honeypot so you are baited and they just develop worse or just block the way far up ahead in the road what they see trending and when 1000 people repeat the same "we'll do this")
MAYBE - You think you can cheat superior / fast technology and get best out of them or use a low tech mixture (for example, just making 1 post via TOR and never touching the account again, cleanest in and out but also considering your previous IP history / existing accounts)
Why I'm so not-fan-of America in everything is not America itself more than it's the root hub of well 'everything' lol - like a bad USB port
@undefined @lupyuen @cstanhope
I agree with comment before this and that it would be amazing if they made it themselves since USA is very dedicated and advanced in war technology of well every kind probably!
But if everything is produced and sold / organised from 1 place (including dollars given out in 60's/70's to leveraged other countries making them a kind of subsidiary or company abroad, with whole countries basing their own currency on it) then well it could be called anything a nest, and source of Vipers !
(I don't mean the American car)
but I might as well mean list list also!
USS Viper, three United States Navy ships
VIPERs, exchange-traded funds issued by The Vanguard Group
F-16 Fighting Falcon jet fighter, the Viper
Operation Viper, conducted by the United States military in Afghanistan
(Just to play with the words)
Even the music I'm realising is from the fake dollars :(
Any one place can be great from such fake / printed / inflated / power-orientated currency and behaviour.
It (and the mentality) tries to get into everything.... and arguably is.
Imagine if those countries actually made their own weapons lol :) I bet USA loves that people buy it from them and then just arm up and go battle them saying 'see' they have all these weapons are a threat to us! lol....
Such a great game for banks and the dollar... spend spend spend

You could see it like that.
Think of it also as 1 humanity:
Each person you meet is just a fragment of that. All / most have the same kind of source or zest or yeast (however you like to call it). You can feel it more from others immediately, some it takes time.
Indeed expecting not to 'know everything' or everyone is a good position and simply seems more about a somewhat steerable journey (now the we're born) amongst the people you pass along the way and visit for a while as if they were planets, All the different colours and radiation. More than the expectation simply the continuation of enjoyment (best as possible) even for yourself and your own self-discovery with and without others.. again all inside 1 humanity... not necessarily billions of people... and gracious planet hosting us or this 1 bubble we're in.
It does help from your point of view (or the viewers point of view) to say what isn't great about it too ( I don't mind this approach if people can work back to the positive and convert what they originally thought to "ah I get it now")...
Originally I wrote from the perspective of explaining a bit more the website... but I realised this approach feels good and makes sense. The other approach will be available but this way feels more etheric as overview
Also the feeling I got when you were mentioning the billions (without over analysing) seemed better to mention the enjoying part as 1 humanity more than the counting or slightly limited man-made perspective in rationalising it in this way... the galaxy is vast and enjoy is in some way vastly superior / more applicable.
So I hoped you enjoyed that and the thinking of people as planets... or like visiting a zoo,
and revisit this post's thought :)
I assure you there is always something more to connect than not, no matter what it is for different people, since measurably a lot is inheritance relative to itself / ourself. Humanity. Planet. Etc....

Hehe that's good if you have better things than just posting to social - I think I've said the same being inactive and then ended up posting more than I wanted (lack any other good options tbh) but preparing for when I finally realise how things can work...

@tripu So I have to put the human factor here (what the values mean to you or I as main part of my answer and only partial agreement with what you wrote (does very well it it's own field but horrible in the human realms / different language).
How much all those things you wrote don't touch on these human things is also telling about the 'teaching' and development of it, including what information is taught and not taught... (often no consent or uniqueness or sovereign ways added / considered psychologically to a person), It's all but omitted (compared to what's out there in STEM etc) and probably I think it matters to me and others those things outside the box (but not governments/empires who develop some things 100% not other things, deliberately not being responsible fir those things).
So I have touched on and circling this recently I think and well before so I'm getting nearer but that first line with do for now and I will later list what will be more helpful.
Oh yeah I remember a good conversation.... (or you be a judge and listen)
And also a 'shed load' of points I made about specifically numbers which by nature and classification discriminate humans (only try to measure some things and not others bother from those human using some methods, and by the methods also not being enough to measure everything about unique and changing human beings, moods, happiness, job, needs, expressions, feeling etc)
STEM -> what can I study for developing human culture... what departments are there... social anthropological David Graeber type stuff?... What I could study similar?
STEM -> does it have very little in the way of social anthropological David Graeber stuff?... What are the other departments exist that I could study?
Might be true STEM teach very little about...
- Resolving differences between people (not machines/numbers etc).
- Healing (not hospitals but leading a healthy life types of healing before biological repair). Healing people hearts and repairing mentalities / prevention.
- Justice or even the practise of talking about stuff like this in some field?
STEM --> Fixing machines, numbers etc... I get that
LIFE --> obviously needs more than that, and while not fault of 'STEM' that people are just funding STEM more than anything (apart from the perfection-hunting machine-like mentality), what other parts might touch on these other more-human things?
Something improving human culture. Anything?
You're only as good as your website?!?!?!? Oh I'm in big trouble then!
I'm still in the 2000's ! Netfusion buttons / PHPbb forum style layout!
Then again new sites are not that much better - you just need will power to get to what you want (or use the simple menu at the top lol !!!)
Break yourself here... Only for the strong. New audio on it's way....

@kreyren
Interesting list of 'disable' plugins in search:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=disable
Quite similar to that Firefox search are Plugins for Wordpress sites here
https://wordpress.org/plugins/
Quite interesting to browse
+ would be good to have this kind of plugin-and-play with unified search and for everything/many more things
Another one with SUPER user reviews and comparisons
https://alternativeto.net/
I guess I'm collecting now for a mega-list of search engines related to finding blockers or freedom stuff!
Could there be 1 plugin and your Computer or Website stops talking to Google?
@kreyren Yeah good, I would also want to stop talking to Google also (like behind my back, through apps, system-wide)
(not just re-direct, proxy, better links... though I forgot about Firefox plugins for a while so that was a good reminder)
FAMILY-type ECO-SYSTEMS <-- important
@humanetech --->FAMILY style in whatever we do (not the fake corporate family but the mentally supportive AND trying to link our works)
--->LESS FEAR, MORE GROWING HEALTHY PEOPLE
BIG WORD FAMILY (AS HUMAN FAMILY EVEN AS STRANGERS)
After all my years.... this word tends to extend the relationship between people themselves + with the land / nature / beings:
Inviting more people to *NEVER* be too satisfied or closed -
LIKE A CULT (as in CULTURE) and keep it fresh.... tough with the personal politics... Not growing hate and bitter culture but wise culture itself.,
'Growing' earth-loving people together like better plants, loving as family of friends, workers, nature-focusing people, adventurers etc ... trying not to let money get in the way.
THIS is one of the certain answers from me / for me! FAMILY STYLE!
Could there be 1 plugin and your Computer or Website stops talking to Google?
Anything like this let me know...
This was in #wordpress (I'm not saying it's the best but at least visually and technically easy / fairly safe / tested / reviewed )
But anything that can stop contact to google (hosts file stuff even). Suggestions welcome for both Windows and Linux peeps...
@xieshuyu Answers to your Q's:
Q.What's the key to happiness? Freedom?
People mostly through all sub-parts of Freedom (which can be other things but mostly people orientated and transmitted) which could be labelled freedom or spreading more love / consideration / consent / values (non-numerical).
...More words to learn and re-teach here is wanted
http://freeschool.0id.org/love-value-my-words-list/
List all the tasks to do and carry them out one by one and repeat this process?
Yes, do that more than not.
Is there any fulfilment in that?
Yes. There is a chance that if we chain things suddenly tomorrow things can be much better from all the patchwork we do, if we can link them or use them as fuel. Like a chain of love / loving thing rather than working for wrong people.
The other comments I will mentioned in passing:
> temporary success doesn't mean nothing to me anymore
Good you are realising where to put your effort and what will hold better as container for efforts and your intentions (money quickly wastes it away and you have to throw more money there, it's by nature of banks and %'s wasteful / temporary). Personal fulfilment and contact with others 100% different realm... not numbers
> I begin doubting whether I did was anything meaning or even worth celebrating
Because we don't know many things YOU and WE have to create our own reasoning and celebrate and dance during that both to pass the time but at the same time be good caretaker or planet and people and let the rest do it's thing... not over manage.
More questions welcome.
@eqyo
thanks for practising :)
ooh I see you wrote more... good !
@tripu
Is this you saying it?
@2ck Yes, sympathies, #climate and #climatechange are directly and proportionately not possible because the patterns and mentality don't support it (and haven't for a while).
Consuming less (resources or money or whatever) was not really there in many people's head all these years so a kind of no win (not even now with my recent washing machines rant) but to spend you life out and consider it was born from erroneous calculations and try not to feel cheated now you kind of know... might be a way but I'm with you on that sentiment... and efficiency has too been changed to means something totally different or whatever they mean it as... totally skewed in their language / meaning / implementation... anyway loop this text :) And happy to chat
Basically one answer is see what they cut out and put that back into equations...
Friday night... TIME FOR SLEEP.... ?

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
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/111845709367492677
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...!
