Imagine... Mastodon with mail embedded !
My post here for this suggestion / reality...!

People are more likely to notice this when it comes to sex work. But we don't tend to notice that we sell ourselves into part-time slavery just as much when we flip burgers or driver an Uber. We don't notice that these jobs can be just as exploitive as sex work, or even more so.
Self-ownership is not enough. We need to go further and make a radical claim; that we are not for sale *or* for rent. That we are not property of any kind, and neither is data about us.

"We need to own our own data."
#HelenStarr, 2024

Kind of, but no. Because that still implicitly accepts the framing of personal data as property. It's a digital extension of the propertarian notion that civil liberties are grounded in each person's ownership of their own body and mind.
Rather than abolish slavery, this just makes us all self-owning slaves.

I just would like to point out that
none of the accounts I was forced to create for job applications so far had any options for multi-factor authentication or for deleting the account.
And all of the accounts I was forced
to create for job applications so far required to enter very sensitive information that was completely unnecessary to require.
Don’t. Do. This.
Please. Stop.
#Mastodon Payments - a needed concept... New payment System for Fedi people...
#Mastodon Payments - a needed concept...
New payment System for Fediverse
people
If you want to imagine a new world then let's do some "World Building" together and cook something... via DM if need be.
Somehow to exchange something in addition to those giving freely... some people will not see giving love as real or credible or permanent enough to putting food on table etc... which is fair... so let's have it all!
I say both and many ways to give / give back / take...
what can you dream up? ☁️
15min chess kills time well...
10min chess kills time well...
some growing of plants outside
or growing a relationship
growing a person's experience over the internet
(because it's all trying to find another way more than money).
Not saying 0 money but that game is literally like playing those low-chance games
(and not growing people's mentality otherwise)
Chess maybe gives a few answers but that also should be more co-operative chess or forgiving playing 'life together' not at the cost of each other (which makes people pay more than needed or not sharing space) at the same time as governments taxing and extracting from our lives...
[no Chess emoji, so Chess ASCII it is!]

Change RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY...?
Change RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY...?
If all roads and relationships started with money and lead back to money... then that would explain why people are circular... and not just stupid or ignorant or those words... We didn't change money also and got comfortable in it's war / cheapening life as we chip into big pot that go off to #war.
It maybe explains also why people do repeated habits to cope with being taxed and charged constantly for every little things (life's taxes is alot about banks fees, bail-outs, price hikes etc)...
and you might find it hard to accept the best of worst situation, which is:
Try think of some other currency... because banks are costing us too much in losing life to it's own cold culture.

◘5◘ Choc money - possibly more valuable, edible currency at least and respected by most as food
◘6◘ 'Real money' is cheaper than Monopoly printed in the same way
◘7◘ Mr Bean - I am trying to follow The Science but it keeps leading me back to money
◘8◘ Hospital / innocent workers - not realising above them they are making millions off each doc and nurse (per week!) as they do 1000x what little they are paid per hour
Money is what is making us compete rather than share...

What can you imagine from payments without banks so much?
ℹ️ Remember:
Capitalism does really well to make us fight each other using it's own 'given' money (taxed + fees + regulated %'s like chopping our legs when we are getting up well) and mentality not to share or give to better businesses.
💸 ?
Money is expensive no?...
Money is expensive no?
Think about the added fees and percentages which bring down the value of each unit of 'money' ;/ good gawd \:

Time to sort that out....

COMMENT WHAT YOU LIKE FROM THESE:
█Yes - a Paypal-like clone please / U$ ideally!
█Maybe, electric-based Bitcoin or Monero, Piratecoin etc but NOT FOREVER !
(just as a bridge for few years to starve banks / get back justice)
█No, nothing even though I'm not ok with banks either - I'm stuck
█Other... (reply to this idea)
Do remember perfect answers are not necessarily the aim and can be 2-part unfolding or just bridge to another tactic and almost always is this way to achieve starving banks first and then get people ready for step 2...3...)

Pictures described in text form below (useful to see why to change money":

◘1◘ "In debt we trust." (God has been deprecated, had it's uses on bill like inventors are supposed to give dirty money respect)
◘2◘"Inflation is in effect a hidden tax. The money that people have save is robbed" (mathematically and by banks uneven charging / using our money while they are supposed to store it not re-lend it!) + not so hidden if you track prices as things go up, houses triple and salaries stay same for years]
◘3◘ Printed money dress
◘4◘ Muppet pic - Landlords exposed - if your landlord can't afford the property without your rent, then you're the one providing housing to THEM!
I am truly amazed at the number of applicants I have seen off of this single post. And almost all are well suited candidates worth my time to review. I am astonished that a single post on the fedi is more effective than actually hiring a recruiter. Thank you everyone for the boosts and applications.
While many applicants have made it through and are currently being hired because we have so many positions we have quite a few still available for every level from sr to jr, and both data scientists and programmers. So please keep boosting, sharing, and applying if anyone is interested.
Just a reminder this is 100% remote, no fixed hours, will pay market rates for position. I will be your direct boss and hiring manager (also owner, founder, and inventor of the tech).

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

2. The Little Prince book

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...!
