   Children shoes.

   Some 232,000 children and adolescents were deported to the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz, of whom about 216,000 were Jews, 11,000 Roma, about 3,000 Poles, more than a thousand Belorussians, and several hundred Russians, Ukrainians, and others.

   In total, about 23,000 children and adolescents were registered in the camp, of whom about 700 were liberated at Auschwitz on 27 January 1945.

   Imho the burden is on #activitypub developers and #fediverse instance admins to clarify to users what being active on these platforms means in terms of #dataprivacy and the different modes they can be used to find, link and interact with others.

   In particular, the line "its the public internet, deal with it" is certainly not the whole truth. Public timelines is just one usage mode.

   People are justified to be suspicious given #surveillancecapitalism

   Clarity and transparency earns trust.

   @deanbetz It's understandable, from a technical perspective, the algo cannot determine which should and shouldn't be pushed to the front. And such posts are a magnet for likes and comments. ^_^;;

   But, yeah, it makes Threads appear to be a dating app instead of a competitor of Twitter. Hehehe.

   Maybe they should copy Facebook's. A new FB account won't see any posts until the account make connections or interacted with others.

   In any case, I hope it improves later. And I think they should also work on getting the official celebrity accounts and fandom accounts to use #Threads regularly. It should at least balance out the number of boob posts.

   If #Instagram will not ban my account again, then I'll use it.

   They need to communicate with their users so, whatever their issues are, can be resolved. They are banning legitimate users, and the spam and troll accounts that plague my old account, are still there.

   Daily Inspiration: "Invest in kindness" - Futurist Jim Carroll

   If you follow me, you might get a sense that I tend to have a rather compassionate soul.

   After all, last year, my 23 Trends for 2023 series identified the trend wherein people were 'doubling down on dignity.' I try, as much as I can, to live a life that is rooted in kindness towards others.

   In that post, shared my despair with our current reality:

   "Sometimes it does seem like the world has gone mad – extremely divisive politics, a rise in hate crimes, absolute emotional terrorism on social networks, attacks on public institutions, and increasing violence. Everyone has a feeling that things are getting out of hand. That’s why trend #12 on my “23 Trends for 2023” is the issue of “Doubling Down on Dignity.”

   And yet, within the despair, I always seem to find an opportunity for hope:

    "I believe in 2023, both people and organizations will find they are spending more time doing so – focusing more on lifting people up rather than tearing them down.

   This year, I found my opportunities for hope by watching individuals who were doing good in the world. Despite all the madness, rage, and hate, I did manage to find the decency and humanity within some people. In particular, I want to tell you the story of someone I never met and who do not personally know, but who I drew much strength and inspiration through the year. Meet Cheri Garcia, ex-meth addict and alcoholic, someone who now gives ex-convicts second chances and a new life through her Dallas-based company, Cornbread Hustle.

   Her story is the basis for strategy #17 of my 24 Strategies for 2024 series. Invest in kindness.

   #WritersCoffeeClub 28. How do you approach a fight scene or other high-action scenes?

   I write more solid, real-time perspective descrption for action scenes than others.

   In this way, when the person have on the perspective got a punch from the back, I write just got an impact. After it, pain, shock or understanding they got a punch follows.

   To take this way, I draw a graphical maps, room-planning of the scene. The pers-cam might not correct, but environment accuracy helps reader to got.
