New to site


Hi all, just starting to learn how to use this site after leaving facebook due to their hate speech changes.

Just so you know, I am what everyone now refers to as trans. This is not something that you decide you want to be you are born this way and cannot change it any more then you can change being human. Yes god made me this way and so the best way to look at it is that its like a major development as a fetus that doesn't develop along the same line as what is considered normal development. Some think of it as a birth defect like so many others that they know about. However too many accept all the misinformation about us and call us perverts/pedophiles etc and just want us destroyed.

I could go on and on about this and how it has effected my life but it will not change how all the lies that has made life harder for me.

Feel free to ask questions and I will answer as best I can.

Stay safe and enjoy life,
Jackie

Remember when that prosecutor said Biden was literally too old to prosecute, and every liberal said yes, very good. This is the rule of law we are the good guys,

(These same people think it's okay for hunter to break gun laws and smoke crack even though his dad wore the bill to jail millions of Black Americans for the same.)

> literally

This is where you lost me. There are actually tens of thousands of actual adverbs out there, just waiting to be rediscovered. This one's a sure warning that a statement is edging near the rails, about to go over. Happy to see this one entering its chrysalis stage.

pataphysician doesn't like this.

in reply to pataphysician

the most vapid of criticisms. from the whataboutisms, to the genocide apologia. why is good faith engagement with liberals so hard to find?

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 Kingbeard

This is the only server I have found with active users. I found it on the directory and picked it because it had the most users. Says we are up to 871 users today.
in reply to effariwhy

same as me. But 870 users is absolutely tiny compared to FBs 3 billion.
My problem is finding groups, especially ones in which I have an interest.
Hopefully it will grow 😀


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 ? 😆 🐈‍⬛
in reply to Wilhelmina58

It has not been that long sense I emigrated from fb as well. I am happy you have joined us here. I hope you meet lots of new friends.


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
in reply to Pamela1960

The admin and mods of toot.wales have been trying to find a unified login for all Fediverse accounts, so far without success...but watch this space 👍


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 Ken

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

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.
in reply to kyle

It is so hard to not lose hope and yet, us losing hope and motivation is how they win - how they have been winning.



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?

@Petra ...ah, since you have #Cologne #Köln as your location: There is also a brand new #Friendica group for Cologne : @1. FG Köln.
It's primarily German-speaking, but English posts are of course just as welcome!
Feel free to share event information, photos, tips, news, questions + other posts related to Cologne in the group! ❤️🤍

Find groups

@Petra
A question I often encounter and as a newcomer I naturally want to find out. I recently came across the video below, but due to personal circumstances I have not yet had the opportunity to delve into it.
