Agreed, I don't agree with discrimination, but given what happens on twitter I would hate to see the fediverse be taken over by the masses in the same way.

@rgx @hansw @globcoco Indeed but people seem to be blind or just deny it happens. They don't get why I don't want to use facebook, or google. Still argue no one they know uses the fediverse, I have made new friends here who I have proper conversations with. That is a big win for me, same as science forums I am discussing some really cutting edge science on there, down to some more basic science questions people are happy to help with.

@rgx @globcoco @hansw I think it is more when you create a post, make it draft, then, save go to edit to choose a publish time, view drafts to change to the blog you want to publish to.

It is really easy once you know how to do this, but thanks for the link. I'll check that out.

@hansw @rgx @globcoco
I was asked about doing a website last year by one of these youth organisations did some work, made some suggestions only to be told (after I had chased up) they were getting their volunteers to do it. They just exploit others, thing is HOw do you demonstrate your skills, and willingness to share and help others so you can gain employment if people just exploit you.

@rgx @hansw @globcoco I wonder if there is a reason Microsoft are buying tik tok,. Just think how many people they can spy on, so they are going from an aligation of sending data to the Chinese government (based on little evidence) to sending to the US government.

I am just holding fire, in fact I am waiting for this person to send me a document.

I am used to being messed around, I did my bit making contact via phone. having a chat, I can't really do much over e-mail or chat, trying to explain the quirks of write as is difficult over the internet, others may be able to, but I can't do that very well.

@hansw @rgx @globcoco

Still waiting for people to get back to me, so not going to do loads more research and find it just ends up a waste of time.

@schestowitz How much of this is going to end up with Facebook getting involved, they want users or more importantly their data, it seems they will try any tactic to achieve these aims.

@schestowitz This could be an attempt to ensure stock values are low enough to devalue the company so it can b be bought at a cheaper price. screwing the current owners at the same time. Typical tactic by certain big tech companies.

@cybeardjm yes good point.

@schestowitz That could easily fund a Universal basic income, for a good few years, and would be money far better spent.

@codeHaiku
Just stupid., but they probably all use Facebook. So stupid is clearly one of their qualifications.

When it comes to what big tech is doing, the user base is just blind to it.

See the survey I linked to and lets all contribute to that. It may help, if more from here do that, citing privacy etc. Mass opinion needs to count for something.

Just re edited to clean up a little.

I found this on Twitter so am sharing here

A student at St Andrews is researching barriers to adoption for alternative social media platforms, support with your perspective:

I have filled this in and do so from the perspective of someone who has moved.

@schestowitz Just as they are being accused in congress of abusing their position and being a monopoly along with Facebook and Google.

We need a decentralised alternative to LinkedIn ASAP that isn't owned my big tech or can't be bought because it is decentralised.

@cybeardjm Indeed, why do people think other users take any notice of unsolicited e-mail trying to sell me something.
