FreeSchool: Learn Respect Love @freeschool@social.cleverlibre.org
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!).

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...!

" Of course I'll hurt you
Of course you'll hurt me.
But this is the very condition of existence.... "
SHEESH I'm going to call "deep" on that !
And say hurting each other (if that's part of the process) just without money 
I think is better 
MASTODON EMOJI ICONS *ALL IN 1 POST*
A cheat sheet or shortcut page
- so you can keep this open.
- paste anywhere (not just when in Mastodon)
OK I'M GOING TO DO THIS NOW
///BUT IF YOU KNOW HOW TO COPY PASTE IT LET ME KNOW!!!\\\\
And to remind me of how good my ideas are BOOST THIS LATER!
FANKS you're a ⭐
GOING TO GET TEA BEFORE I START (DO SAVE ME!)
@adamosophy COPY / PASTE TWEETS PLEASE!
Would be excellent if you copy and pasted the tweet text to see it here instead of asking people to visit external site... at least could read a bit and then choose...
Also a bonus, the link could be "nitter" links so we don't expose ourself when clicking: Try this...
so this post could be sent to the 100's of users as this for example
instead of twitter.com:
https://nitter.snopyta.org/disclosetv/status/1567630708545409030?s=20&t=5aJoCiWrC7EwJiATh4gJcg
So as a bit of 'methodology'
1- the text saves us going back to Twitter which your profile has a shit ton of listed so could change your ways a bit (not hating but do the math on click damage
2 use https://nitter.snopyta.org as a legit way to help minimise a lot of this same stuff that oppress / fund them)
Just considering better ways would be cool. Thanks,

@antranigv @rholb Facebook made major changes to Oculus. They ended open source efforts, ramped up DRM, and required Facebook login... and the users keep coming because they are the cheapest option.
@lrvick ABOUT: Bandcamp is Joining Epic Games
Maybe like you said "Like most large gaming companies, EPIC gets off on invasive user tracking and DRM."
Not sure how bad this is but anyway modern stuff like this always never looks good, so as much as possible "best not use" I think!
Anyway here's the text version of announcement so peeps don't have to visit any site unless you need something more:
------------------------
"Bandcamp is Joining Epic Games
I’m excited to announce that Bandcamp is joining Epic Games, who you may know as the makers of Fortnite and Unreal Engine, and champions for a fair and open Internet.
Bandcamp will keep operating as a standalone marketplace and music community, and I will continue to lead our team. The products and services you depend on aren’t going anywhere, we’ll continue to build Bandcamp around our artists-first revenue model (where artists net an average of 82% of every sale), you’ll still have the same control over how you offer your music, Bandcamp Fridays will continue as planned, and the Daily will keep highlighting the diverse, amazing music on the site. However, behind the scenes we’re working with Epic to expand internationally and push development forward across Bandcamp, from basics like our album pages, mobile apps, merch tools, payment system, and search and discovery features, to newer initiatives like our vinyl pressing and live streaming services.
Since our founding in 2008, we’ve been motivated by the pursuit of our mission, which is to help spread the healing power of music by building a community where artists thrive through the direct support of their fans. That simple idea has worked well, with payments to artists and labels closing in on $1 billion USD. And while over the years we’ve heard from other companies who wanted us to join them, we’ve always felt that doing so would only be exciting if they strongly believed in our mission, were aligned with our values, and not only wanted to see Bandcamp continue, but also wanted to provide the resources to bring a lot more benefit to the artists, labels, and fans who use the site. Epic ticks all those boxes. We share a vision of building the most open, artist-friendly ecosystem in the world, and together we’ll be able to create even more opportunities for artists to be compensated fairly for their work.
Whether you joined Bandcamp recently or have been with us since the beginning 14 years ago, thank you for being a part of this incredible community, and we look forward to serving you for many years to come!

Bandcamp co-founder and CEO "

@lrvick Is it okay to blame the artists?
Everyone has a Spotify/Deezer/Apple Music thingie, but very few have their own website where we can purchase their work, DRM-free.
Why don't artists do that?
P.S. I think we need at least a year to see if EPIC would change things in Bandcamp. I assume they wont and Bandcamp will continue operating like always has.

Actually that's been there a while I think. And I take the position that it's better to say than not.
Often even in simple less-toxic cases or general best practice things are not said that leads to years of misconception or even bad maintenance. Education of any kind almost. And of course covering you back legally should your child be around and untrained.
@emergeheart
Anything specific you want currently? Examples below:
1- put an image here on Mastodon asking for it to be remixed or with some loose specifications - would be good for me as something I could do and focus on otherwise it's maybe too broad and questionable why if not related or connected to anything... so a picture I could send back quickly if I saw it and said something to me... I guess otherwise I'm not going to hunt so much as I'm not looking to get my name out or something slightly less pure.
2-Your Website - Any chance of announcing the post titles and link to them here on Mastodon? (maybe you do already 1 by 1 but basically my sentiments are something like a newsletter once in a while because I and others like / love Mastodon almost as only source of decent people AND it has *notifications*🔔 where websites don't (not without major privacy issue)... So I suggest this because I get your updates but might not look at the site more often when *I* know it's relative (rather than randomly looking) and every so often a newsletter (copy and past of links) could posted of last last 10 titles on the website... .
Ok that's my 2 ideas - let me know what you think. Thanks

Planned Parenthood is telling people, rightfully, to stop using period tracking apps, as they embed trackers that give data to authorities in anti-choice states.
Meanwhile, I count several third party trackers on https://plannedparenthood.org

FALSE PROMISES / MISTREATMENT AS A TEMPLATE FOR LIFE
OR
EXAMPLES OF CORPORATE FAILURE UPON COMMUNITY
I wanted to capture the template of decline which seems quite solid and common everywhere - the almost exact ways things go down after starting well or just more modestly steady in growth, but then exchanged for hard and fast financial fucking (or fuckery for short).
[Skip down to the list further down if you like]
Maybe *this list* is asking too much and that shit happening is a natural process of 'ups and downs' but seemingly other regular elements (man-mad) are just about people frankly *bullying others are part of it all
(*bullying = People also so God-damn** nice that they almost suggest their own suffering to bullies !
** not even what God would want or somehow people's pride or principles go out the window at work and being 'good' followers!)
this post inspired / triggered slightly from Drew hinting to the same things capturing these sentiment of things going wrong...
" PINE64 has let its community down " https://drewdevault.com/2022/08/18/PINE64-let-us-down.html
THE REST HARP ON ABOUT SIMILAR THINGS WITH A MODIFIED VERSION OF LIST BELOW
These same elements come to our parents, peers, community and rot it... and they (the workers or even parents) do nothing and even 0 as answer or will power - not even to take a sick day or retaliate (just let it continue). So good to know what these things are we hear about in the news / experience ourselves at work and when it happens to us / others to really consider it's just going around uncheck / unsaid / hidden a lot of the time.
"It’s time for PINE64 to take responsibility for these mistakes, and make clear plans to correct them. To be specific:"
________________________
THE LIST
___________
(my modified list is below from Drew's list)
- mistreatment of community members. Apologies according to own code of conduct or consideration of what is said / happened.
- tangible commitments to honoring and respecting the community and [y]our said goals.
- Cancel singular / monopolistic commitments to specific people
- Re-instate community-lead things and expand their/our program.
- Deal with stupid problems once and for all / have a big constructive fight about it.
- The community has a right not only to be listened to or just talk for you to find further weaknesses but have it all enacted immediately and shit done about it as if we were running this place!
@confusedbunny I like it. I like the methodology a lot.
Things also tend to be good fresh / rotated for the human aspect of doing things in the now rather than going back in time...
Hmmm 
🤔 
...that's probably key to a lot of things... temporary repeating rotating or... hmm need to think about that one for my content...
@confusedbunny
I think it's really important to say on your profile and state explicitly that: "The idea with my video content is that those that are favourited / boosted music stay online - the others are deleted automatically after a month or so" (or however you want to work it...)
... because people assume things are permanent / not subject to much change (until recently Mastodon introduced this ability for example)
As habits I also don't favorite as often as I should (not sure if I did yours) because reply or interact more often / always so the gauging of popularity is variable...
but overall if it's just a temporary thing... not an archive and something continually rolling that's cool too.. (just wasn't clear from start / was just you saying by chance / me asking by chance).
Happy to think about this more out loud see what's possible overall as any kind of 'thing'
but doesn't have to have more meaning sometimes also thn what it is - just thought I'd mention it.
@neil
Ok you got me on notifications and the fast replies were valued.
@neil
Thanks, also sticking more to Mastodon and being notified here
But the tip is good / just me reducing down everything even more
@neil Let me know if you can- I have you on notifications as a way of doing things, but just earlier today reconsidered you and was going to take you off... not that there is much bad but general or unleading things or just my own line is what I'm going for weaving others in for learning / find the 'way' etc between us all so appreciate contexts or detail even if short version is said before for those that have disability in reading :> (hope nobody TL;DR read that!)
@blueplanetslittlehelper
yeah has it's limits also in this genre which is why I think nostalgia can stay as that and not need be reborn constantly or on repeat unless in the mood or really liking it.
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...
