I'm not keen on politics anymore hence this account.
I only get involved relatively briefly to try direct others to nicer news sources.
This is how others people should approach my account:

Check posts or replies for political stuff.

So again I beg, beseech & implore anyone who can afford to, to put even a few quid into foodbanks ASAP.
A few quid might seem to not be worth bothering with, but if hundreds of thousands of us do it will soon stack up & make a real immediate difference to those suffering the most

George Osborne failing to take advantage of historically low borrowing rates that could've been used for social housing & more.
Needless ideological Austerity when we had much less National Debt than today.
Brexit costing at least 5% GDP yearly.
= 99% all fault of Tories & Farage

You have to stop & ask..... Why are the children STILL in need??

Seriously impressed by this design concept for a curry house from 12 year old Prince George.

#Astrophysics news: This is interesting even if I only understand some of the terms.
TLDR the universe could be much bigger and older than #Science currently thinks which could solve various problems;
Yet it's the puzzle of how to prove what can't be seen?

Else, take care of yourself first and foremost.
"Put your own oxygen mask on before helping others"
"You can't pour from an empty cup"
"A burned-out activist is a no-good activist" who is at best ineffective or at worst backfires ironically due to antisocial behaviour & no skills

[Good News Everyone @GudNewsEvery1]

There is no changing the mind of an entrenched opponent online.
That's just those who are actually real people being nevermind the increasingly convincing sockpuppet trolls & lots of bots.
Even in real life, on controversial topics people rarely quickly change their mind to agree

[Good News Everyone @GudNewsEvery1]

What you CAN do, is:
Online: Make a case for the silent observers who make up the vast majority of views to appreciate.
This could have real world effects.
IRL takes finesse and not expecting immediate agreement.
This plants a seed which could later fruit into a change of opinion

[Good News Everyone @GudNewsEvery1]

The general idea I'll keep to myself for now but it would be a haven for relatively sensible political chat.
No adverts, no data mining, no tolerance for allowing paranoid conspiracy fantasies from the extremes of the political compass to spread, no hate speech, yet allow roasts.

[Good News Everyone @GudNewsEvery1]

Everyone inc me complains about the Enshittification of the biggest platforms or at least knows something is wrong even if they don't understand why.
This will continue until people would rather pay cash to use a new social media platform instead of be a product & get data mined.

[Good News Everyone @GudNewsEvery1]

Twitter could've been a genuinely unquestionable force for good;
Yet it seems the place has become the ultimate platform for spreading paranoid conspiracy fantasies & political disinformation under Elon.
All the big platforms are crap.
The smaller ones: too fragmented to compete.

[Good News Everyone @GudNewsEvery1]

I've long had the outline of a new better platform in my head. The problem is I can't code, can't focus long enough to try to learn how;
I refuse on principle to pay to use AI to do it for me, also have no cash to hire experts, and no chance of getting a startup loan from a bank.

[Good News Everyone @GudNewsEvery1]

In light of the news so many British adults are going to struggle so much over Christmas, meaning many children will also be suffering:
My good deed for today is making a donation to @TrussellUK
Other foodbank organisations are available. PLEASE donate even a few quid if you can

[Good News Everyone @GudNewsEvery1]

I generally prefer competition in an at minimum regulated free market, but in this case any possible competition to Twitter is somewhat as wrongheaded while also much less reach as people & capital are split.
It would be interesting if the smaller platforms merged against Twitter

We've reached a strange point in history.

Humanity has never had more access to scientific knowledge.

And yet millions of people are being convinced to fear vaccines, food technology and modern medicine.

The problem isn't a lack of information.

It's a crisis of trust.

[Good News Everyone @GudNewsEvery1]

I'm kinda new to Twitter, kinda not.
It has changed almost entirely for the worst since I was last here and it was still pretty rough previously.
I had hopes for BlueSky but it's towards as nasty as Twitter while having a small fraction of the reach.
Nobody has heard of Mastodon.
