i might just carry n95 masks for the rest of my life. they're great. weigh nothing, take up no space, fix so many problems. stinky? smokey? pollen? pet dander? forgot to shave? want to avoid face rec? have to be around sick people? dont want to have to show emotions? nbd! one piece of paper fixes all of these problems & more!
@coral Recreational Anger: read things that upset you so you can feel upset, and share it so other people can be angry along with you and you feel less alone. These things needn't be true to suffice: make some up.
Habitual Disdain: hating someone because you have for a long time, attributing malfeasance to everything they do. Share "information" (truthful or not, it doesn't matter). The more shaming and blaming you put on them, the more easily you can justify your disdain.
These are the textually-transmitted diseases of social media.
This is not mine, but I find it to be a practical guide for discourse on the #fediverse or in everyday life, for that matter:).
Share/boost it, if you find it useful.

"Google will still index your Fediverse content when it appears in the timelines of other sites..."
@freeschool I don't think people are gonna do that because the general population really doesn't care if Google makes money by indexing their content.. infact that will only make their content more popular so they'll probably be happy about it.. me personally, I wouldn't post something publicly I don't want others to see

In April, the Indian Supreme Court began hearing a series of petitions from 18 LGBTQ+ couples, asking for the legal recognition of same-sex marriage. Oral arguments concluded last Thursday (April 20), with a verdict expected in the coming months.
The Indian government, led by Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party, has formally opposed the issue of same-sex marriage, even as many lawmakers take a different view. #LGBTQ

Here's a handy overview of terms often confused:
😡 sex-negative: Hostility towards #sexuality in general. A form of #bigotry.
🤢 sex-#repulsed: If you find sex to be repulsive *personally* and it stresses you. Not bigotry.
😨 sex-#averse: Like sex-repulsed but weaker. You can deal with the concept of sex mostly, but the thought of being involved in sex yourself creeps you out.
#asexual: If you feel little/no sexual attraction.

Three years ago, I wrote a series to help people get a job in tech for as close to $0 as possible with no prior experience.
That sounds like a tall order, but at least 4 people (that I'm aware of) have succeeded with this guide.

If you feel lost or discouraged, give it a read. It costs you nothing. (Not even privacy. I do not have ads on my blog after all.)
Thank you very much to all friends who boosted this post above "Laptop Brands with GNU/Linux Preinstalled" for now it reached 600 boosts and 400 stars. I never thought people would reshare this so much.

The 'Social Media' phenomenon was about capturing & monetizing (+leveraging for political purposes) digital exhaust of human behaviours. What's to stop or thwart that same model - on #mastodon / in #fediverse / or #activitypub ? – asking for a planet.

Without being too snarky, this really seems like the biggest weakness: ChatGPT is unable to give you sources for claims.
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:

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...!
