@jbz Yeah this is a good point about #IBM and counting people for #genocide that I think they used with #machines or #computers?

All tech is used against us, no matter how it's about #Cats and fun pictures too - the programmers and coders behind a lot are not doing the people work or caring for interacting with people (so you get Mastodon etc void of much social and just good for spreadnig #caturday pics and bad news... a real problem if not doing the positives...

So not doing the people-improvement / #trust building / real social interaction to get better ourselves... is not happening (where is it?)

(and not wait for rich people or spread their #shit using #Mastodon either).

#FreeSchool for real social ✊

I'm looking for the decent fish that can talk more than 5mins.
Do you even exist?

Trust is always revocable.

If you liked a product or piece of software, and it becomes worse, changes the conditions, adds spying functions, you can change your mind and stop trusting and using it.

You should always re-adjust your judgment when receiving new information.

This is applicable to products, platforms, companies, political parties, and people.

The #fashernista crew take and dispoal anything that starts to grow in the alt.
That’s the pattern: spot the spark, capture it, smooth the edges, and sell it back as lifestyle.

They move fast - faster than we do - and by the time you notice, what was radical has been turned into content, branding, and funding portfolios.

If you’re working on something that matters, an alt tech project, a grassroots network, a commons, mediation before they move in.
Defend your work, your world, and your dreams before they’re commodified into polite irrelevance.

Because make no mistake, it’s happening to something you care about right now.

Talking to Our Left Friends

We need to have an honest conversation with our left friends.

Keep this simple:

Fear / control → right-wing

Trust / open → left-wing

That’s #KISS, everything else is noise.

To understand why we’re in such a mess, look at the loop we’ve been trapped in:
Fear of the right feeding a right-wing agenda to fight the right - which only feeds the fear.

That’s the mess of today’s politics. We’ve been running on it for decades, and it’s burning everything.

So ask yourself - look at your actions, your projects, your compromises over the last 10 years - Where is the left?

When did we stop building on trust?
When did we start mirroring the very control we said we were resisting?

It’s time to come back to first principles — trust, openness, and shared struggle.
If we can’t live them, we can’t build them.
