@aral Problem is we have the same old business models / attitudes at the top clearly.

@danie10 is there a difference between advertising and promotion?

@jgoerzen @ajroach42 Indeed ,

Agreed, what those who just think social media is for output don't realise is by not responding to questions it tells people more about them, enough to know that we don't want to deal with them.

Same for not replying to e-mails esp when they are asking for opportunities for others, I reply and get nothing quickly in terms of a response. .

A few links that could be useful

https://fsfe.org/activities/android/help.en.html

The fsfe also have a leaflet
https://fsfe.org/contribute/spreadtheword.en.html

I can try and spread the word on this, sounds like a great opportunity for people to get involved and gain some valuable experience(s)

@Elfie @ultem Indeed they have sucked people in with ad revenue then shafted them over payments, unethical at least peer tube supports donations to creators.

Turn off when not going to be using or an hour or two,l it saves energy.

When it comes to hate comments, the AfD is ahead

A scientific study on the basis of more than four million Facebook comments shows where the hatred discharges and who it hits: The AfD pages are by far the most hated, against leftists, women and everything foreign. It is not true, however, that conservatives and right-wingers are just as severely affected by hate news as the left or the greens.

@FriendsofScience

No, and so long as people keep using their products they will just keep raking in the profits and getting richer while the rest of us get poorer.

Once this Covid crisis is over they are going to want us to spend spend spend, as I have no money I can't see me doing that, however what we can do here on the fedivese is use the time until this is all over to make something far stronger, Peertube live is a step in the right direction.

We perhaps need to try and build an ethical business model on the fediverse, so wealth is spread out. Services like Librepay are one way for instances to generate donations. But for more people to come on here, esp business it has to probably generate return on investment.

This is why I am taking the digital skills framework and raising awareness of the alternatives.

It gives people a choice, however the arguments I get is everyone uses facebook / ms office (employers) and they are going to expect people to have those skills, We are going to need to break that some how.

No problem, I am not directly involved in the directory I have been aksed if I can help review talks for LibrePlanet, so waiting for some more info on that task.

If you have access there is probably no harm in you adding then, the response didn't say yes or no

Hopefully it can be added If it is easy to find and there is a strong community behind it then the use will just grow further,

@ademalsasa @Le_bottin_des_jeux_linux

Yes that was me, As it is GPL i asked if this can be included in the free software directory, there is a reply

Not sure if they will include it, either way we can promote here and elsewhere too.

The reply does seem to say something about Solarurs being used part of non free software
I have no problem with this the developers need to earn an

Happy to promote either way,

@publicvoit It may depend on education and how we get a grip on mis information.

@jgoerzen @ajroach42

Interesting article one of the reasons, very true about adverting which is why i like it here.The content here is far better too,k twitter has turned in to a massive hate filed cesspit,

What I also find frustrating is that a lot of mainstream social media is output, try and reply and engage you don't get anywhere,

@MediaFormat
Nice idea being able to push project update notifications to fediverse and wordpresss helps.

@rra My netbook is 12 + years old stll works fine, got that as the school i was working at were going to bin them, replaced windows with linux. I have a few so trying to see if it is possible to run purely on a console , Debian is giving me masses of issues with this idea at the moment.

But great artcile
