@MelodicDinosaur @saxifraga we all are. I'm hoping it's the start of something really good.
@nomenloony @saxifraga Oh here's hoping!!

Hi, the Mastodons. I don't know how this works yet or how active I'll be here, but I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a UK-based female AuDHD adult, choosing to remain mostly anonymous. I'm really just curious about how the Fediverse works - I can be ambivalent about social media but I thought this sounded refreshing in contrast to the big, powerful platforms which feel scarier to me by the minute. I've also been getting to grips with Linux recently, and am thinking about other ways within my limited means and courage to try to be involved with more of the small things that are about moving away from exploitation and towards caring for each other.
Take care out there :)
@MelodicDinosaur Welcome to Mastodon. I find it very nice here. I'm also learning heaps while linuxing along. We had a four-day down and then figured it out. As I said, heaps, hahahaha!

Ben! Take that "ooh, fresh meat" glint out of your eyes and remember you're vegan.
What did we tell you? Only Swedes and Human Beans.

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome to the fediverse. You can find your people using hashtags. Hashtags are free.

@MelodicDinosaur This is such a charming introduction. No wonder you have a tonne of responses!
I jumped into say that if you post #Linux, you'll get loads of people who want to talk about how to use it. I make sure not to only use it as tech support, but it can be light tech support.

@MelodicDinosaur Also, I hope you know you can follow hashtags! If you search for #Linux, you'll get an option to follow it, and that's a great way to meet people with common interests. There are loads of neurodiverse people on here including autistic, ADHD (hi!), and AuDHD like you.

@sar @MelodicDinosaur Well I feel seen.

@MelodicDinosaur
Welcome to Mastodon.Right off the bat some things to understand... No one cares about your follow:follower ratio here, no one cares about your post count, etc. There is no algorithm to feed you content here, instead you make your timeline by following people, hashtags and groups that interest you.
Next, I suggest following @FediTips to get more pointers / guidance on using the #fediverse, of which Mastodon is only a part.

Hello 👋
I don’t post much on my own but I like all the amazing artists here. I boost what I can so if you need a break from the yuck out there, have a look ☺️ -
@DonChacale Thanks, Don. How are you finding it so far? I think I've just about got the hang of, like, GitHub, and the thing where you can make the terminal do a bonsai tree - so, the important stuff...
@MelodicDinosaur
using mint which is really GUI ...my main thrust is to move away from corporate surveillance state tech. subverted chromebooks to linux mint. -
@Hedgewizard @independentpen The *lichens*? What did they dooo?
@MelodicDinosaur @independentpen
Attention whores, one and all. Check their thallus type before engaging, that's all I'm saying -
@Hedgewizard Oop! A friendly Hedgewizard. Hello!
I hope you'll forgive my asking such a purrsonal question - you're a very handsome cat, but are you a familiar or representative of the wizard or are you the wizard himself?
I'd rather not have to choose a tribe but it'd better not be sourdough because I tried one once and forgot about it and then it just got smelly and I threw it away so I'm afraid the little yeasts that live in the air will gang up on me if I ever try it again.
As for lichen vs. cats, I'll have to think carefully about this. I do like my new lichen friends but I don't want to end up embroiled in gang warfare. I'll have to seek specialist advice.
@MelodicDinosaur
That's Tiki. He's my over-familiar. This one is Ishi - if you hold him just right you can hear the wind whistling through the empty space between his ears -

Welcome. I see you have many responses of goodwill.
I didn’t see a mention of @FediTips — you might wish to check them out.

Hello and welcome. It's great to meet you.
I see someone has already recommended https://fedi.tips/ . Let me also suggest https://fedi.directory/ as a way to find interesting people to follow and get your timeline kick-started. 🙂

The same Rob #Jetten, before the elections:
"Today, more than a quarter of a million people drew a red line through Amsterdam. A line against the inhuman violence and genocide in Gaza.
We demand more than words, we demand action. An end to the war, help for people who have been suffering for too long, and a political stance that does not look away, but stands up for humanity."
Nice words.
As you said: people demand action now.

Raises the question. Is there any good way to use AI? Is there a way to invert it and turn it on itself, to use AI to destroy AI, to sabotage any ill it is designed to inflict, to undo or replace its propaganda effect, to use it to release the Epstein files?

@dalias @fesshole that's a myopic way to look at it. Most likely the employer doesn't care enough about you to want to deskill you by exposing you to "cognitoharazds". They're following hype and/or they're misguided. I'd be tempted to say they don't even have a strategy around the use of llms, but that's just speculation. So you're not really sabotaging the company by burning tokens. What you're doing is moral posturing that makes you feel better about yourself because you're the main character in your story and you're sticking it to the man. But that's a pointless exercise that only ends up sabotaging the cause you're supposedly fighting for (capitalism, llm hype, late stage capitalism death cult). By silently complying, and using the tokens you're just bolstering their policy.
