@dansup With pixelfed, mastodon, etc, the average user needs to learn a few different concepts and behaviors to use with greater benefit and control over current technologies experience. All are capable, just as they learned current technologies a few decades or years ago.

I am old toad and put in plenty of time gently helping friends and family accommodate to some new technologies for keeping socially connected and communicating. (Limited use of phone capabilities is draw back)

@Mastodon
Please explain new Euro not-for-profit organization. Is this a trust that controls the mission?

"We will continue day-to-day operations through the Mastodon GmbH for-profit entity, which will become wholly owned by the new European not-for-profit entity. The Mastodon GmbH entity automatically became a for-profit as a result of its charitable status being stripped away in Germany. The existing US-based non-profit entity, the 501(c)(3), will continue to function as a fundraising hub."

@dansup I learned about Pixelfed here on mastodon. I setup new account 3 days ago. Very good platform. Excellent!
Thank you for the sanity and control over my photo viewing and sharing. I will recommend to others.

@TonyStark Social security is an independent trust, not part of Federal budget, financed by payroll taxes. It is NOT an entitlement and finances itself. It can't help Federal budget mess so leave it alone......

@Gargron I share your general sentiment and condemnation here of "Zuckerdork"
However I want him and others to expand on their fascist views because he has tried to hide them from the public for years. His recent actions and comments have exposed him, to many, for the bigoted fascist that he is.

@aral Why do billionaire gay men donate to a fascist group that reviles them. Is greed that strong among all of them......(rhetorical) Yes.

@xgranade AI generative models and tools are very, very primitive at this point and of suspect accuracy. They rely on possible illegal/privacy violation training data sets. And, the algorithms have terribly biased designs built into them as well. May be realistic,for now, to focus upon automation, robotic tasks and fast information processing use cases.
For anything more the science, the math, complex models, agnostic algorithms, and more comprehensive data sets are not yet developed.

@jeffowski This decline in purchasing power and wage levels for working people in the US has declined under all parties and all presidents the last 4 decades.
A clear indicator our economic system is built on inequality and biased towards wealthy people's benefit..

@breadandcircuses Just do not buy and drink their poisonous liquid.....Boycott them vigorously.

@KimPerales Reminder: Wray, FBI director, was a Republican and appointed by President Trump. Did he fail or was he complicit with Jan 6 organizers?

@glynmoody Deport the bottom dwelling Mollusk(Elon Musk). He is an illegal....

@_elena You may want to consider who you give your funds to and their ownership. Volunteer, community driven, not-for-profit organizations abound with free utilities as well: one can donate to support them but not required to use.

@glynmoody Good to hear about Murdoch power struggle ,but many legal appeals will be pursued. His vile empire of lies, deceit and disinformation needs to be dismantled.

@br00t4c Birth citizenship is clearly defined in the US Constitution. He can't do shit without amending the Constitution. He blows smoke up everyones ass to get attention , headlines and create chaos...same old fascist shit,ie, distract,deflect.

@glynmoody Trump, and Trump Inc, has always been a criminal enterprise.

@glynmoody Approximately 9-10 billionaires appointed in the new admin , and counting, including POTUS. Only one elected by voters. Rest are ultrawealthy oligarchs and members of the League of Maga Loyalists and have virtually no political or public service experience.

@randahl “Trump is the poor man’s idea of a rich man,
the weak man’s idea of a strong man,
and the stupid man’s idea of a smart man.”

@j12t @cwebber Many may be more interested in the purpose of the social media content, and its impact, than the technical details.
