  1. CW: Social media is an "unhealthy online environment... [MP3 Version]

    @openrightsgroup MP3 Version

    #Social media is an "unhealthy online environment".

    The problem is the #business #model which underpins these #monopolistic platforms to:

    ➡️ promote #ragebait :nes_fire: to rake in the money. 💰

    Jim Killock told #BBC News what needs to be done around #SocialMedia:

    ✅ Competition
    ✅ User empowerment
    #Decentalization / #Decentalized #Platforms

    #Audio about #Advertising
    #BusinessModel of #SocialMedia is #Commercial

    My #Answer is building another "society" ON TOP OF #MASTODON #PEERTUBE ETC -

    NOT JUST MORE TECH AND #TECHIES - develop people themselves!

    We're mostly just developing tech and not developing people...

    (and then complaining about #society and people falling for the same traps used by #tech ).

    Without organised #circles or dedicated #talks IN MASTODON (or any #decentalised or #centralised #platform) people do not know how to be nice / what to consider / what to look out for (all normal in new relationships) / what do if this or that... / how to WORK WITH someone new / where and when to go regularly somewhere...

    Some chat happens but is that it as a Mastodon #movement? ❓ (any groups with just a donate button and nobody to talk to)

    Such a lack of depth... 📉

    Without some training, we the society are lost / undirected online / offline. Sorry but best time to plant a tree / invest in a person is now!

    Let's chat (as positive ending and action needed between reader and I - more if we can imagine it).

  2. CW: The Answer is NOT JUST MASTODON either... it's emotional intelligence & incrementing art of friendship at the same time...

    The #Answer is building another "society" ON TOP OF #MASTODON - rather than just develop more tech.

    We're mostly just developing tech and not developing people

    (and then complaining about #society and people falling for the same traps used by tech ).

    Without organised #circles or dedicated #talks IN MASTODON (on any #decentalised or #centralised #platform) people do not know how to be nice / what to consider / what to look out for that's normal in new relationships / what do if this or that... / how to do it WITH someone there / where to go regularly...

    Ok some chat happens... but is that it for Mastodon as a #movement? ❓
    Such a lack of depth...

    Without some training, we're lost / undirected online. Sorry.

    And let chat (positive ending / action needed).

    ===============
    LONGER VERSION:
    ===============

    Rather than using social media for mostly #hating or fearing things (#Trump #Musk #Bezos #apple #news etc)... build our own society or just increment friendships and trust (must be a way).

    Develop better people AT THE SAME TIME. Not just develop tech...

    Time to invest in people.
    Time invested in people gives back in ways to #community [opportunity, work, listening, tutoring/teaching, other coincidental help / better examples / daily place to go to].

    Developing people is the solution now we have the #Technology ....
    ➡️ (i.e. #MASTODON + #JITSI is ENOUGH to heal / speak / listen / send / receive))

    OR #MASTODON = TEXT / PIC
    + #JITSI = AUDIO / VIDEO
    + #NEXTCLOUD = FILES

    Develop caring CIRCLES OF people and everything else will come better with it. Might seem a long investment but we have to do the long work anyway because cutting corners and is cutting ourselves off with #short #textism.

    Need to be dedicate to people PERSONAL #CARING IN #CIRCLES.
    ⭕ ↔️ 🔁

    The Answer is NOT JUST MASTODON and leaving people to their quite poor levels of friendliness and own fear... !
    (that's why scratching the surface you can find people are JUST LIKE ON #twitter sometimes once we get deeper in #comments and #suggestions).

    it's emotional intelligence & incrementing the #art of #friendship and #courage... at the same time as having Mastodon... CIRCLES. ⭕ ↔️ 🔁

    ( using Jitsi #chat rooms for example jitsi.freifunk-duesseldorf.de/ )

    Building #Emotional #Intelligence + Friendships
    = #Intelligent People
    = #Better #humanity

    #FREESCHOOL ANYONE?

    People need to come #together (#decentalized or not that's the aim!)

  3. a note of irony concerning #decentalised #networks and #art -
    #artworld may offer, as Suhail Malik notes, a certain history of how #decentralisation actually works #irl..

    ie
    we will always get centralisation around certain Nodes in a #network if
    and possibly only if
    we go into this adventure believing
    that #decentralisation avoids #centralisation by its' own
    #volition somehow...
