Excercise in imagination...and action.
Most people believe that pursing an art career is only worth it if you make money out of it. Now, let's imagine all #art made without making money disappear and only art making money stay. Visualize. Desolation. Now, imagine the other way round. Visualize. Nobody would even notice. Now, imagine artists being paid for the works they make. Can you see happy artists? Well, you should >:-D
This is the truth. Most of the art we see and love everyday was is made by artists that truly believe in what they do, hard work, sacrifice and passion.
It is time that we start to sort out the artists #workrights.

All these are public domain and can be used resused and creatively improvised upon, storylines too. https://comicbookplus.com/
Learning GIMP. Combination of the Green Hornet and the Human Meteor from Harvey Comics 1940s public domain, given a luminescent edge.
Peer Tube first because its Fediverse, but a lot is not there for now. Daily Motion second because its French and hence will be under GDPR. Vimeo third as its not Google. You Tube last as its Google and Amerikan Korp and we all know about this by now. This is a good principle is it not? Anything better than that around?
The mentality that facebook wishes to inculcate: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2yybyr
By conservatives and fascists dominating the terrain of the shadow ban and censorship, they have put off those who should really care about it, those who are really shadow banned and censored, the left and the liberals, the antifascists. This snide deceitful trick seems to have worked. I hardly ever see the left, liberal and antifascists on social media, the data activists against the tech giants talking about the power of the shadow ban and the horrendous possibilities of creative adaptations of it.
How many question the belief (and belief it is) that social media corps are neutral and being gamed by fascists and cant control it because they are just interested in revenue from clicks on content, on 'hate speech' (fascist propaganda) and are simply motivated by an anti-regulatory drive?

@DScottPresso Glad to be of service. I've become something of a privacy nut since the whole "Snowden Affair," so if you need to find an alternative to anything else, just give a toot.
Perhaps could apply the lyrics here to describe the mentality of the capitalist competitive atomised individuality that FAsCistEBOOK is trying to inculcate? : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFv1kqdl2VQ

@Hamishcampbell Everybody has something unique to contribute to the fediverse, but it's a gift you choose to accept or not. Live and let live for yourself not for the greater common good.

Hi all!
Would appreciate if anyone could help our fellow comrade with obtaining safe accommodation due to the land lord not adhering to the agreed termination date, and evicting her 2 weeks sooner than expected, giving her 48 hours to move out.

While militias continue to use @facebook to organize and spread conspiracy theories (see https://nytimes.com/2020/09/18/technology/facebook-tried-to-limit-qanon-it-failed.html), the company is censoring environmental activists, following last monthβs ban of anti-fascists.

@facebook : for fascists, against ecology?
I am interested in the various different ways in which chess understanding extends towards other things, such as Chess and the Art of Enterprise Architecture :
