SELECTIEVE VERONTWAARDIGING


We zijn nu werkelijk wederom in een Trumpiaanse werkelijkheid beland, waarin feiten geen enkele waarde meer hebben....

I'm here!


Hello. Not sure if you're already here, or if my Facebook post has inspired you to set up an account. Either way, I assume it's a pleasure to meet you. Guess this is sort of an experiment, no idea if anyone will join me here, but here's hoping.

[EDIT] Oh yeah... took me a while to realise I'd originally posted this as a "Personal Note" that nobody could see. Turns out it needs to be a... uh, some other type of note. You can set it to be visible to everyone, or just to your followers.

in reply to Nick K

Im here too. So its not anything like following or friending like you do on Facebook?
in reply to Pete Hack

Yeah I think you need to follow me for stuff I post to show up. I've just gone and followed you. There's a lot of options and menus and stuff, and I don't quite get them all just yet.

So... it *looks* like you sort of follow everyone on this Friendica server by default. There's a seperate link to just see friends posts, but there's only two of you on here at the moment so it's empty for me.



If we don't tell our friends, they won't come


And we may need to help people once they get here. The fediverse is intimidating, but it might be our only hope as billionaires drop a knee to #DonOld one by one.

Of the fediverse apps I've tried, friendica is the most like facebook

Recommend your favorite friendica server and help get them on it!

in reply to effariwhy

which server to choose? The ones I have seen mostly have one single person, and the biggest has 820 users.


Hello Worldfriends


As a fresh Friendica user, I started with a short message in my mother-tongue Dutch.
There are not many who speak this language, so: English is fine for me too.
I am Wilma, born and raised Dutch and I have many interests. From archaeology to zen gardens and a lot in between.
I am here because I turned my back to Fb ect... And with that also to almost all my friends over there. Some of their reactions hurt me, evidently many people are stuck in old habits, and don't dare to change...So I have to start over again, who dares to meet an old crazy black cat-lady ? 😆 🐈‍⬛


Fediverse question (Techies?)


Is there a way I can integrate my Mastodon Account with my Friendica account so I only need one login for both instead of two separate accounts? TIA


Back to the gym


First visit to the gym today for several months: a biceps tendon injury had rather interrupted my training plans. I think it's more or less back to normal now, but only one biceps exercise today, and with the lowest weight available, just to be on the safe side.

And pretty low weights on most of everything else too, after taking such a long break. Let's see how much everything aches tomorrow.

Nice thing about going back to the gym today rather than a couple of weeks ago is that most of the resolutioners have given up by this far into the new year, so the gym was nice and quiet.

Nobody needs to get married
not everyone needs to have kids
the world would be a very crowded place
if we all did


Hi, there!


This is my very first post on Friendica. Like many of you, I am looking for an alternative to Facebook, and I hope this is it.
I am a 70 year old man, born in the Midwest (Iowa) but living in Prague, Czech Republic for more than a quarter century. Married with two nearly adult children. I write poetry and a lot of my posts here will be just that.
I also comment frequently on politics, where I would label myself as a very reasonable, middle of the road kind of guy, but in today's political climate most would label me a screaming left wing lunatic. Nations and religions are only sources of conflict and should not exist. It's a wealthy world and nobody should have to live in poverty. Education should be free and unlimited and cars and guns are horrible things that kill people. I smoke a shitload of weed and watch way too much TV.


Hello!


I am trying to break away from mainstream social media platforms and find new places to socialize. I was not previously aware of the Fediverse and decentralized platforms, but I am glad to discover it now. I am an artist and art historian in the United States. I haven't been able to create much artwork as of recently as I am busy with obligations, but I hope to get back to it soon. I hope everyone is doing well and I hope to meet new people on here!
in reply to Kenziekenz

brand new here, this is my very first comment. I live in Prague and write poetry. Pleased to meet you all.

No One is Coming to Save Us - We Are Already Here


in reply to kyle

Beautiful sentiment, but it's really hard to not feel totally despondent. Seems we are on a train headed for total destruction, and a lunatic is pushing it full steam ahead. No hope or end in sight that I can see. Wish I didn't feel this way.
in reply to .

I feel you. I struggle with it too. But getting in community and making a difference definitely helps make an impact on our ability to have hope.



Find groups


Hi, is it possible to see which groups exist or at least search for them with a keyword? If I wanted to start a group how would I go about it?

!New To Friendica

New To Friendica reshared this.

in reply to New To Friendica

Well, mostly I cannot look into these groups, I think it's because they're on other instances.
in reply to Petra

You should be able to look into groups on other instances too.

in reply to Piggdude

How do I join? When I click on it, I am able to send a message but I don't see any conversations or the possibility to join the group.
in reply to Petra

Oh, wait, I found it. You have to click on the small arrows on the top left.



Can Photosynthesis?


This came up from me forcing my roommate (a botanist) to give me a prompt and me mis-hearing the prompt.

I think I cannot, and neither can a toucan.

Pigface in bloom

Nice morning for it.
