The banning of #TikTok fits perfectly with the US double standards mindset and way of doing things. They're afraid of TikTok spying on them while they're perfectly ok having Meta, Google, Microsoft, Twitter,... spying on the rest of the world. Go figure
disclaimer: I don't use TikTok, I never used it, and I'm against it, the very same I'm against all the #unethical businesses, software & hardware products that spy and squeeze people, no matter where they come from.
I remember using #Twitter and people was flooding all the time with the same tweets over and over again because of visibility. Here on #Mastodon it happened to me already two times an interesting thing: old toots that suddenly starts to look like new because people starts to comment and boost it again without me doing anything at all.
What I value most of #fediverse is that for me is a place to engage with people in the good sense: sharing knowledge, exchange opinions and having conversations.
The thing that most impressed me of David Lynch weren't his movies or shows, it was his book "Catching The Big Fish" where he talks about meditation and things related to creativity. When I saw the book I was 50% hesitant of reading it because I thought: "What the hell! A movie director writing a book about meditation?", and I was also 50% curious because I thought: "What the hell! A movie director writing a book about meditation?". Never regretted reading it.
@jkretrotech I made an habit of disconnecting when I don't need the internet. Sometimes it happened to me to be off for 2 or 3 days, working on my personal things, then I had the need to checkout something online and got the message: Website Not Available. Refresh, refresh again, and then realize that I have my computer disconnected from the network 😅
Do you know that on #Mastodon you can choose the #language of the posts you subscribe when you follow someone like me who post on different languages?
In my case you can subscribe to posts in English, in Spanish or both (by default). This is a great feature that let's us all to post in any language without the need of different profiles. Of course the people has to set this up on their profile to let you do it but if everyone does the right thing it rocks 😎
