    It's dead because the damn algorithm hides your posts.

        Inspired by "Free School" movement in the 60's & 70's... I practice educational living and learning life together towards / / of etc: in whatever way that suits and directs the individual.

        More on that 60/70's movement here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_sch

        Text and short-depth understanding isn't doing it for saving humanity. So learning and your own action / direction is important. To get better examples that lies parents were fed or chose not to face.

        (me) makes about / and for people good

        That's my life in a few keyword sentences.

        / but like info.

        OFFERS TO FEDIVERSE...
        ===================

        ☼ MY OFFERS OF FREE TIME ☼
        >> GIVEN TOWARDS FREEDOM <<<
        FREE WORK editing text, pictures, audio, basic video editing. Basically anything considered. Just say it.

        Audio also found on hashtag to help keep you working well!

        MORE.... OR JUST RESPOND TO ABOVE PLEASE...

        I feel like Short-text / Short-reading by people directly undervalues people and longer understanding - it's cutting corners reading only short things and proportionally killing the planet / cutting people who write more off.

        That's why I'd like to do audio conversation now... (anytime) so we don't get stuck in the text realm either and just speak lightly in the ethereal / spirit of life.

        People are the depth and action of the culture so if text is not deep enough then culture dies. Audio conversation I have can put back the reality into people.

        Just sticking to yourself dosn't work. We can solve almost everything as our efforts can double if we are relaxed but do it constantly over tiem... it's OK "it's all political" (!) and our opinions too... so letting go too far into "Politics" of "Leaders" is not the way we want to go... as a system (of control)

        Your decisions can be made and changed doing short depth + short depth (=long!) which can reinforce those bad things less by seeing the depth in tricks (like chess it's "aha! I realise why they made that move now") .

        Don't let "Short-ism" make you think it works for you (it's the opposite). Communicate more and build normal people up. - Increase more and but socialising incrementally like at a party.

        The 'human condition' needs A HUMAN WAY OF FIXING THINGS in a social-communal situation... not a ultra-tech way.
        We have and etc - we just need to increase trust step by step and measure ourselves as we go.

        🙎 Develop people, not just the tech! 💻 ✈️ 📱

        I'm working with anyone aligned / those that know themselves or want to as it's a natural human thing we need to solve (not just tech etc).

        Get in touch and even have fun with it all!

        ==============================
        More description
        ==============================

        The Free School movement I feel is "the best way" for people as a transient flexible "school" of fish / people in life because it's YOUR way and your likes mixed in however you want guided by others in the same class or other t give another perspective..

        As long as you trust yourself and trust a few others more while measuring while mixing, then it's all good and essential can't be bad - especially from these distances.

        Opposite of the above would be: working isolated in a loop... without encouraging contact ...working for bad people / state
        ...while not giving back or seeing what others have to give
        ...and reading the news in a bad loop as I do (and need your help to get out of!) ... only to complain about my adding to it.

        So feeding yourself better comes building others in trust and people upwards not downwards pushing. Therefore:

        Mutuality, Education, and maybe Friendship can help 🎈 WIN:WIN:WIN 🎈 for us all in this world ...or at least to start with.

        📖 Towards a more caring intelligent planet and better mindset of people... but also not over-specialising...

        :ablobwave: I'm here to broaden your like as a friendly person and to encourage your own thoughts *and* action to happen.
        We need to be appreciated and appreciate a few more - that alone is enough!

        More togetherness means more ☑️ correct communication ☑️
        to get there (and balance)...

        Short "ism" or short reading by people kills the planet and those people don't read deeply and fall into newspaper tabloid headlines (also short) and reacting too much almost as an .

        YOUR !

        Build your dream(s) and maybe mine at the same time (both!).

        Don't be afraid to share - even though it might be natural to try pull back. I don't think there is another way around this by carefully sharing and doing it with bad people filtered out (but not everyone filtered out as we all lose that way being cut off) .

        Aagain measuring me and you (and others) we can avoid killing ourselves and others killing us (directly and indirectly) for profit (it's all linked back to banks and state who as root don't ). So while we pretend to be '' (which doesn't exist or very lightly does) I think we can truly undo things 1 at a time or just by not using things too much like etc.

        Those who feed from (from the people behind it) surely will mess up again and see less and less gains over time). Short-term some AI benefit but long term chained-to-machine type stuff and robots judging us (robots are just people / leaders behind it controlling..)

        🗨️ I reply to your interests and you give some ideas... we do what we can and like... more freely / towards each other's freedoms.

        Consider *developing people* (or just me) at the same time in your work also - not just machine code, but people are the KEY to everything almost FOREMOST...

        If people's lives are machine-like and computer-orientated then don't complain if that's what you get !

        The cold Matrix system is all using $computers and .

        And that tech is being bought or regulated by the likes of / / etc mostly since they have more leverage against everyone and using also as negative force / debt generators.

        In the end we lose with only tech, even with Mastodon without regular chats!

        (yes computers are too fast and even nice things get used badly but only we can stop it (by developing better people to use better things in a better way). Give me a hammer and I won't break windows.

        Working on better people is the better way at the end..

                  Third party apps and Mastodon's website interface have a lot more features than the official app, and tend to get new features earlier too.

                    Moon Phases

                    In our entire solar system, the only object that shines with its own light is the Sun. That light always beams onto Earth and Moon from the direction of the Sun, illuminating half of our planet in its orbit and reflecting off the surface of the Moon to create moonlight. Sometimes the entire face of the Moon glows brightly. Other times we see only a thin crescent of light. Sometimes the Moon seems to disappear. These shifts are called moon phases.

                    The eight lunar phases are, in order: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. The cycle repeats about once a month (every 29.5 days).

                    Like Earth, the Moon has a day side and a night side, which change as the Moon rotates. The Sun always illuminates half of the Moon while the other half remains dark, but how much we are able to see of that illuminated half changes as the Moon travels through its orbit.

The size of the Earth and Moon are enlarged 20 times. Overview From Space Imagine you’re in a spaceship, traveling away from Earth. As you sail onward, you see our planet and its Moon locked together in their endless, circling, gravitational embrace. Your distant view gives you a unique perspective on the Moon that can be hard to visualize from the ground, where the Moon appears to sweep through the sky as an ever-changing globe of light. From your astronaut’s viewpoint, you can see that the Moon is an average of 238,855 miles (384,399 km) from Earth, or about the space that could be occupied by 30 Earths. It travels around our planet once every 27.322 days in an elliptical orbit, an elongated circle. (It takes about 27.3 days to complete a revolution, but 29.5 days to change from new moon to new moon.) The Moon is tidally locked with Earth, which means that it spins on its axis exactly once each time it orbits our planet. Because of this, people on Earth only ever see one side of the Moon. We call this motion synchronous rotation. CREDIT: NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio

                            @Shiri Bailem You've got two modes on Friendica.

                            Default behaviour:

                            • Post with title = Article-type object = Mastodon will show the title + a link to the original.
                            • Post without title, comment = Note-type object = Mastodon will show the post itself, but greatly deface it (no title, no embedded images, no tables etc. etc.).

                            Optionally, Friendica can be configured to always send everything as Note-type objects. If Mastodon shows all your posts, even those with titles, this is probably how you've configured your Friendica account.

                            Now, until recently, when you sent an Article-type object, Mastodon showed

                            • the title

                            If you gave an abstract, Mastodon treated it as a typical Mastodon content warning (Mastodon uses the same field for CWs as Friendica for abstracts) and hid the preview to your post behind your abstract-turned-content warning.

                            With the recent change, Mastodon shows

                            • the title
                            • the abstract if you give one (this is new)
                            • a link to your original post on Friendica
                            And it no longer hides this preview if you give an abstract.

                            The idea has always been that Mastodon leaves it to Friendica (or wherever an Article-type object comes from) to render the post in all its glory, with a title and text formatting and embedded images and so forth. But Mastodon was criticised for only giving a title as a preview for Article-type objects, just as it's still being criticised for largely defacing formatted long-form posts that come in as Note-type objects.
