Gestern Abend stellten sich sechs Direktkandidat*innen zur Bundestagswahl vielen Fragen.
Gestern Abend lud die IHK Bonn/Rhein-Sieg gemeinsam mit der Handwerkskammer zu Köln und der Kreishandwerkerschaft Bonn-Rhein-Sieg zu einer Diskussionsveranstaltung in den Kammermusiksaal des Beethovenhauses ein. Sechs Direktkandidat*innen für die anstehende Bundestagswahl stellten sich den Fragen des Moderators Christian David und des Publikums. Es war eine seltene Gelegenheit, die Kandidat*innen live und gleichzeitig zu erleben und ihre Positionen zu hören. Begrüßung durch die Gastgeber Radermacher (am Mikrofon) und Hagen
Ein Format mit Herausforderungen, aber auch Chancen
Das Format war ambitioniert: Sechs Kandidat*innen, unzählige Fragen und nur eine Minute pro Antwort. Klar, dass dabei nicht jedes Thema in die Tiefe gehen konnte.

Ein Format mit Herausforderungen, aber auch Chancen
Das Format war ambitioniert: Sechs Kandidat*innen, unzählige Fragen und nur eine Minute pro Antwort. Klar, dass dabei nicht jedes Thema in die Tiefe gehen konnte. Doch das machte auch den Reiz aus: In kurzen, prägnanten Statements bekam das Publikum einen Eindruck davon, wer die Kandidat*innen sind, wofür sie stehen und wie sie mit den Herausforderungen unserer Zeit umgehen wollen.
Stefan Hagen, Präsident der IHK Bonn/Rhein-Sieg, und Kreishandwerksmeister Thomas Radermacher eröffneten den Abend mit einem klaren Blick auf die aktuelle wirtschaftliche Lage. Energiepreise, Bürokratie und Verkehrsprobleme wurden als zentrale Themen benannt – Herausforderungen, die dringend politische Lösungen erfordern. Doch statt nur zu klagen, bot der Abend die Chance, zu hören, wie die Kandidat*innen diese Probleme angehen wollen.
Vielfalt an Themen und Perspektiven
Die Bandbreite der angesprochenen Themen war beeindruckend: Fachkräftemangel, Wohnungsnot, Energiewende, Bürokratieabbau, Gesundheitsreform, Schuldenbremse und vieles mehr. Jede*r Kandidat*in brachte dabei eine eigene Perspektive ein.
Jürgen Repschläger (Die Linke) nutzte die Gelegenheit, um seine Kritik am Kapitalismus zu verdeutlichen und forderte unter anderem die Abschaffung der Schuldenbremse sowie die Vereinheitlichung der Krankenversicherungen. Jessica Rosenthal (SPD) und Katrin Uhlig (Die Grünen) zeigten sich rhetorisch versiert und konnten ihre Positionen klar vertreten. Rosenthal betonte die Bedeutung von Frauenförderung und Betreuungsangeboten, während Uhlig auf die Notwendigkeit von Investitionen in den ökologischen Umbau hinwies.
Hendrik Streeck (CDU) präsentierte sich mit einem Buch voller Spickzettel, das ihm bei einigen Antworten half, und betonte die Bedeutung von Fachkräften aus dem Ausland sowie die Förderung der Wissenschaft. Anna Heimann (FDP), die jüngste Kandidatin auf der Bühne, schlug sich wacker und plädierte für eine Stärkung der dualen Ausbildung und mehr Anreize für Arbeit. Wolfgang Truckenbrodt (AfD) blieb in seinen Aussagen oft im Unkonkreten, sorgte aber dennoch für Diskussionsstoff, als er gegenteilige Positionen zu seiner Partei vertrat.

Fachkräftemangel und Bürokratie: Lösungsansätze im Fokus
Ein zentrales Thema des Abends war der Fachkräftemangel. Hier zeigten sich die unterschiedlichen Ansätze der Kandidat*innen. Während Streeck und Rosenthal die Anwerbung von Fachkräften aus dem Ausland betonten, verwies Repschläger auf das Problem, dass zu viele junge Menschen studieren wollten und die duale Ausbildung vernachlässigt werde. Auch Anna Heimann (FDP) plädierte für eine Stärkung der dualen Ausbildung. Katrin Uhlig (Die Grünen) gab zu bedenken, dass die öffentliche Diskussion derzeit eher dabei helfe, Fachkräfte aus dem Ausland abzuschrecken.
Auch das Thema Bürokratie wurde mehrfach angesprochen. Streeck forderte einen Abbau durch Digitalisierung und mehr Vertrauen in die Wirtschaft. Repschläger hingegen äußerte Bedenken, dass der Abbau von Bürokratie selbst wieder neue Bürokratie schaffen könnte. Einig waren sich alle, dass an diesem Punkt gearbeitet werden muss.
Ein Abend mit vielen Highlights
Insgesamt hinterließ die Veranstaltung einen guten Eindruck. Sie bot die seltene Gelegenheit, die Kandidat*innen direkt zu erleben und ihre Positionen zu hören. Jessica Rosenthal (SPD) und Katrin Uhlig (Die Grünen) konnten durch ihre rhetorische Sicherheit punkten. Hendrik Streeck (CDU) wirkte sicher in Bereichen, in denen er sich auskennt, bei anderen wie Steuern, Sozial- oder Bauwesen musste er Lücken zugeben. Jürgen Repschläger (Die Linke) nutzte seine Position, um frei und locker zu agieren, während Anna Heimann (FDP) noch beweisen muss, dass sie nicht nur ein inhaltlicher Klon von Christian Lindner ist. Wolfgang Truckenbrodt (AfD) blieb das, was viele von ihm erwartet hatten: ein Kandidat, der polarisiert.
Natürlich war das Format herausfordernd – bei sechs Kandidat*innen und einer begrenzten Zeit bleibt wenig Raum für tiefgehende Diskussionen. Doch genau das machte den Abend auch so spannend: Es war ein Schnelldurchlauf durch die wichtigsten Themen unserer Zeit, präsentiert von den Menschen, die vielleicht bald in Berlin Entscheidungen treffen werden.
Fazit: Ein gelungener Abend mit Potenzial
Es ist schön, dass es solche Gelegenheiten gibt, um die Kandidat*innen kennenzulernen. Sicher, es hätte noch viel mehr Fragen gegeben, und sicher wäre es spannend gewesen, mehr Zeit für einzelne Themen zu haben. Doch der Abend zeigte vor allem eines: Politik lebt vom Austausch, von der Diskussion, vom direkten Kontakt. Und genau das wurde hier ermöglicht. Vielleicht war nicht jede Antwort perfekt, und vielleicht blieben manche Fragen offen. Doch der Abend hat gezeigt, dass es sich lohnt, hinzuhören, zuzuhören und sich eine eigene Meinung zu bilden.

The Open Source Torment Nexus
One of the most popular memes when it comes to talking about the tech sector is Alex Blechman’s tweet about the Torment Nexus: One can interpret the tweet in a bunch of ways. As a comment on the level of reading comprehension that billionaire tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk or some ghoul that Peter Thiel funded constantly show: Calling one’s products or comapnies “Metaverse” and “Palantir” does not express an understanding of who and what is criticized in the respective works of fiction. And we are not even asking for nuance here.
Another interpretation is that the products that are being brought to market as massive innovations seem to be less than stellar. Best case scenario they are just weird stuff nobody asked for (think Juicero), most of the time they are “here’s a thing you kinda want but you have to pay rent for it now instead of buying it and we might shut it down any time”. And a lot of the time they are just bad for you, products that insult your existence as a human being.
Obviously there is no objective way to make these calls, to decide what is dumb but meaningless or what is evil. People have different values, different needs and sometimes can accept different levels of crap for a specific product or service.
We talked about this a bit in the Q&A part of my talk at Fluconf that gave a bit of criticism of the Open Source movement and its beliefs. But while my argument in the talk was mostly that the beliefs that Open Source is based on might not actually be based on or support the actual political values that people might have there is value to having Open Source software. Software that you can use and change to suit your needs and demands (if you can of course).
But Open Source software does not happen in a vacuum, it is written by people. Often to serve their needs, sometimes to serve a community’s needs: To provide a better solution for users. The “Open Source Alternative to proprietary X” thing.
If you’ve been on the Internet for about 7 seconds you will have come into contact with guys (using a gendered term here because they are mostly male) who will respond to any criticism of or issue you have with a proprietary software with “Just use this Open Source tool”. It’s a bit annoying because a lot of the time that answer doesn’t come from a genuine desire to help based on empathy and an understanding of the problem the original post expressed. But It’s also oftentimes better than one might think.
The Open Source community has gotten quite good at replacing proprietary tools with open source solutions. The feature set might not be 100% there and some things might not work but there are totally valid alternatives to Slack or Chrome or Microsoft Office (if you really just need office tools and not something that specifically depends on MS’s ideosyncracies). There are whole websites dedicated to listing Open Source alternatives to proprietary tools with at least one of those alternatives being pretty much a copy.
This has tremendous value and provides a bunch of people with the software tools to do their thing – me included. But when building those replacements the Q&A at FluConf made me wonder: Are we maybe doing a tech-bro? Are we not properly reading and understanding the texts we reference?
Any artifact is a text. You can read for example any piece of software as a document about the beliefs and assumptions of the programmer about the users. The software tells you how the programmer sees and understands the user. It’s just a form of text that is maybe a bit harder to read and it might have animations and sounds and can send bits somewhere.
What triggered this train of thought was me thinking about social media platforms. With Meta and X and all US tech companies finding their love for fascism currently many people want to jump off those platforms to find a better home. And there are Open Source Alternatives to Twitter/Instagram/WhatsApp/etc. Which in general is good. Maybe. Sometimes.
(Quick sidebar: I’m gonna use an example of an Open Source project here but don’t read this as me shitting on that project. People can build what they want and have their reasons for doing things. My feelings and needs are not “right” and other perspectives are wrong. I’m using the project as an illustration.)
I don’t use Instagram. Not because I don’t like seeing pictures or because it is “beneath me” and not even because it’s Meta and Mark Zuckerberg bend the knee to Trump. (In fact I have an account I use to follow tattoo artists but that I only use for exactly that research because tattooers live on Instagram sadly) I don’t use Instagram because it’s bad for my mental health. The affordances and the social practices of Instagram have lead to every picture (and the people and lives in it) looking like an ad. Perfectly designed and sculpted representations of better lives of better people. It just makes me feel bad about myself, my looks, my life. For me Instagram is the Torment Nexus.
Now that might just be a me-problem. But when I see an Open Source project like Pixelfed that basically attempts to provide users with a federated, open source drop-in replacement for Instagram I wonder: Are we just building an Open Source Torment Nexus? Because Pixelfed looks like Instagram. Has all the bones of Instagram. The same basic logic of the app (maybe the recommendation algorithms aren’t as aggressive but you can always patch that). There is nothing that would lead me to believe that – should Pixelfed get very popular – it would not also develop similar esthetics. Would also help people feel bad about themselves (if they are vulnerable to that kind of thinking).
And Pixelfed isn’t the only tool here. Bluesky is basically a carbon copy of Twitter a few years ago (not technology wise but in the way that interactions work, the way in which status is produced). Mastodon isn’t hat different either. Which in this case doesn’t feel as bad for me – but I also liked Twitter.
It feels like too often we are bound to think about what’s possible in the framing of what businesses think is possible. I recently argued against scale and that topic is a perfect example: Meta needs any new product to scale to millions if not billions of users. Amazon needs to scale products to the whole world. Google needs to scale. Microsoft needs to scale. And they all need to do the things you need to do to scale. Build interaction loops that enforce you coming back to an app or platform regularly ideally daily, to make it a habit. Build tools promising you a view on everything, to give you feelings of power, understanding and control.
We here on the open, decentralized, free web don’t need to do that. Pixelfed does not need to scale. Mastodon does not need to scale. At least not in the way that Facebook needs to.
We are doing a tech-bro. Just like Peter Thiel calls his surveillance company after the stones the evil wizards use in The Lord of the Rings because he doesn’t seem to have understood that those are the baddies we are building tools that are built for growth hacks and scamming VCs out of their money because we don’t read them properly. Because we just take what’s there and make it open source.
Just is doing a lot of work in that last paragraph. The amount of work that goes into duplicating those proprietary functionalities is incredible, awe inspiring. Thousands of people put work into building those tools, often without payment, without a lot of thanks. Spending their limited time on this planet contributing to the commons with software.
But recognizing the amount of work and time and life that goes into building this huge pile of software shouldn’t we spend it on something good? Something that is actually good for the people using it? And are we always so sure that the things we build do that, enable that?
We should stop building the Open Source Torment Nexus. Because the problem with the Torment Nexus is not the software license or opaqueness of the code: It’s the part with the torment.

On February 1st I had the privilege of getting to speak at the first Fluconf about Open Source and why that whole movement might not do as much good for as as we might want it to. It’s not that Open Source is “bad” but that it is sometimes presented as a solution to sociopolitical issues it is not capable (nor even trying) to fix.
The talk description was:
“People interested in Fluconf will also be interested in Open Source or to be more precise Free/Libre Open Source Software. Everyone has been using Open Source for many years but many from this community have shifted to trying to run their personal infrastructures on non-proprietary pieces of software and some even hardware.
This is already an important shift towards freeing ourselves and each other from corporate dominance but is it really doing enough? Are our licenses protecting the values we actually care about?
Coming from a luddite background I want to dive into a a bit of a critical reading of the values that we use codified mostly as licenses: Are they really enough? Which aspects are they missing and why? And what are the consequences of those omissions?
I’ll try to end up looking at mechanisms of integrating luddist principles in software projects. Can they offer additional safeguards?
This sessions doesn’t claim to have all the answers. But hopefully some good questions and a few ideas of where to go.”
I embedded a copy of the video on Youtube but you can also watch it on Archive.org for less tracking and everything.
I share your criticism that people "are bound to think about what’s possible in the framing of what businesses think is possible". What strikes me is the negligation to contextualize a software to see and analyze its underlying ideas about real world processes (such as all kinds of social interaction processes), to overcome its blind spots, to invent something different for the sake of a more elaborate purpose. I believe that this is the prerequisit to understand the good and to enable it

"The individual in the image cannot be identified so privacy doesn't seem to apply" totally agreed from the get go
"I have refused permission for image use (when kindly asked)" Do you mind that your as public published toot was used by reshare, actually leaving the activityPub sphere by crossPost to #diaspora*: pod.geraspora.de/posts/0ac8907… Do you prefer the deletion of the reshare?
Did you feel accused by any means of the text of the reshare?
Was your picture taken in the first world?
Is it ok, or even would you like it, if in the original post your profile becomes credited for the image?
Links seems to be circular. Decades ago I took a pic of a pretty young woman friend reaching for a book in library stacks. It was used in the college student hndbk. Soon after I saw the page torn with the image redrawn to modify what was reached for. I'm tired of having to be concerned about perversion projection.
Not sure what you mean @Silversalty. There is only one link to the diaspora network.
> I'm tired of having to be concerned about perversion projection.
We probably all are, or would be. That's most likely part of the reasons that copyright, and different versions of copyright, exists. Not sure what you are trying to say. Is it just expressing your general thoughts, considerations and experience or are you saying that you don't like that your post has been used in a reshare in general or in this reshare in particular?

Looks like most likely you not only matched it but far exceeded the expectations @utopiarte. You pumpt @Silversalty's picture to the top one, first ever all time public post containing the hashTag gentrificationVictim.

seit einiger Zeit gibt es Berichte, dass die gestiegenen Lizenzkosten von VMWare Rechenzentren zur Migration auf andere Hypervisor bringen.
Mich selbst betrifft das nicht, ich bin lediglich "Hobby"-Sysadmin und miete dazu VMs bei einem großem deutschen Anbieter. Den könnte das Thema natürlich betreffen. Daher frage ich mich als "Außenstehender", wie denn so der Stand allgemein im deutschsprachigen Raum ist? Gibt's schon Überlegungen zu wechseln?
Soweit ich das mitbekommen habe: Größere Kunden mit hunderten oder tausenden VMs haben (halbwegs) akzeptable Angebote bekommen. Ich kenne kein Unternehmen in dieser Größenordnung, das kurzfristig wechseln wird.

Ab 14:30 Uhr stellen die „Omas gegen Rechts“ auf dem Laurentiusplatz ihre „Mauer des Grauens“ aus.
Sie präsentieren Aussagen von verschiedenen AfD-Politikerinnen und -Politikern. „Aussagen, bei denen wir Omas uns mit Grauen abwenden – und mit uns viele andere Menschen, die die Demokratie weiterhin schützen wollen trotz aller aktuellen Entwicklungen in eine andere Richtung“, so die Initiatorinnen.
Ihre Einschätzung: „Innerhalb der AfD-Anhängerinnen- und Anhängerschaft müssen gut 25 Prozent als rechtsextrem und weitere ca. 25 Prozent als ausgeprägt rechts gelten. Es besteht eine sehr reale Gefahr, dass die Partei unsere Demokratie abschaffen oder zumindest beschädigen will. AfD-Politikerinnen und -Politiker machen öffentlich rassistische, antisemitische und den Holocaust verleugnende Äußerungen.“
Und weiter: „Für uns sind diese Äußerungen ein Grauen und ein starkes Argument für ein Verbotsverfahren gegen die AfD!“"
Am Samstag (8. Februar 2025) beginnt um 13 Uhr auf dem Elberfelder Willy-Brandt-Platz die Demonstration „Nie wieder ist jetzt – Demokratie und Menschenwürde sind nicht verhandelbar“ statt.
✊ „Nie wieder ist jetzt“ - Über 12 000 gegen rechts (WZ): "Das Bündnis „Wuppertal stellt sich quer“ und die „Omas gegen rechts Wuppertal“ haben für heute zur Demonstration „Nie wieder ist jetzt - Demokratie und Menschenwürde sind nicht verhandelbar“ aufgerufen. Die Reaktionen auf die Ankündigung waren schon groß, aber was sich letztlich in Elberfeld ergab war noch viel größer (...) die größte Demonstration seit 50 Jahren in Wuppertal"
My profile's bio may need to be tweaked soon. I'm thinking of coming out of filmmaking retirement to make promotional videos for the #Fediverse.
I just rewatched a video I made years ago to criticize Big Tech and oh my goodness it's so tame when you consider the horrors we are facing today: vimeo.com/292544650
Images from Monday's spectacle (feat. Big Tech oligarchs) would be PERFECT as promotional material for the Fediverse.
Oh my, I'm so tempted to make a video. Talk me out of it 🙃

The headline is of course a bit of a provocation. Not all Innovation is a distraction, there are many areas in which meaningful work happens any day to generate some form of relevant new product or process or technology.
But there are also so many areas in our lives, so many problems that affect us individually or collectively where Innovation is a distraction from actually solving them.
Take the climate crisis that does absolutely affect us all and will affect us all even more in the future (unless you are one of the billionaires who are one of the main causes of it). We hear a lot about how we need to innovate to address climate related issues, build new somethings and …

Innovation is a distraction

Let me stop you right there. That is bullshit.
We do absolutely know what we need to to to fight the climate crisis: Reduce carbon emissions radically. Which we have known for decades (I was taught about the “greenhouse effect” in motherfucking school 30 years ago and my schools never have been especially avant-garde). We know that we need to stop burning fossil fuels, stop eating as much meat, invest in cleaner energy sources and insulate houses, etc. We know.
But it’s inconvenient. The solutions we know, we have researched, we have tested, are annoying. They force us to change our lives, force us to rethink our social and economic structures (Oh who would have thought: An economic system based on limitless growth and consumption would lead to bad outcomes. Let’s start a research project!). And who wants to do all that?
The demand for more Innovation (and sometimes even the request for more research) has become a way to legitimize not doing anything. A way to say “the unpleasant solutions we have are not perfect but in the future there might be a magic solution that doesn’t bother us and everyone gets a fucking unicorn”.
Nuclear fusion has had a bit of a narrative renaissance: With AI bros trying to boil our planet they need more power and because admitting that this will lead to more carbon emissions it’s great to claim that fusion will totally solve that in a clean and abundant way. It’s just that this clean working fusion doesn’t exist. Don’t get me wrong: There is one meaningfully useful kind of fusion that we can harness to generate energy and it is happening remotely on the sun. But fusion power plants? They do not exist. And arguing that we should invest a whole lot into developing them because they would be amazing to have stops us from doing the required work.
I’m not against someone coming up with clean nuclear fusion. Be my guest. But we do not have that yet and the climate crisis is raging. We need to harness solar, wind, geothermal and other renewables to change our energy production and we need to stop doing certain things that are a waste of energy. Reduce consumption and change production of energy. And if while we are doing that you find an even better method of energy production in a fusion reactor or fucking Narnia, cool.
But talking about nonexisting things as if they existed is not just a waste of time and money and brainpower. It is increasingly harmful. My talk on Empty Innovation at last year’s re:publica talked about we get sold a lot of stuff as innovation that’s nothing and how that is a method for powerful people to stay in power, to not change the system or have it changed.
I think this aspect is slightly different. Because this one also is us all buying in: We are so happy to “do more research” or “bring forward innovation” if it means that we can just keep doing what we’ve always done. If it means that we don’t need to change.
Innovation often is the promise that the things that affect us, that might destroy us, will magically not affect us. If we just believe enough. Calling it juvenile would be unfair to teens who do go out into the cold to demonstrate, who do reduce their consumption. It’s ignorant. And it will get many people killed. Unless we stop being distracted by the promises of shiny things and get our heads in the game.
I am making up a number now but my gut feeling is that we need 0 innovation to tackle at least 90% of the problems that challenge our societies, us as individuals and humankind as a whole. We just need to grow up and start doing the actual work. The German writer Bertolt Brecht called it “die Mühen der Ebenen” (loosely translated as “the troubles of the plains”): We are no longer climbing up the hill to reach higher and higher grounds – strenuous activities made possible by the hope of wonder and enlightenment – we have to start trudging through the plains in the hope of reaching our future.

There are a number of "hard problems" facing ActivityPub development today. One of which is the oft-repeated refrain that "the fediverse is quiet". This is most often experienced when any given conversation might not be seen as the entire conversation. Julian explains why this is, and what the Forums and Threaded Discussions task for is planning in order to address this one "hard problem".

Hi there, for a while now I'm wondering about the ever lasting discussion and every once in a while upcoming request that friendica should have a pool option.
To begin with I do consider that it is not only reasonable but even mandatory to have more than one profile in a decentralized system. There for, having besides a friendica account a mastodon account, sounds quite logical. So as mastodon does have pool's, such a general setup of profiles solves the main problem/issue/request.
Than there is the fact that friendica, by having like an dislike in posts and answers., basically a poll option does exist, it only has to be discovered and integrated to the cultural use of this platform.
So, by having two opposing choices like yes/no -> like/dislike we can do pools with three expressions:

If a pool is designed and published immediately with answers for every alternative option/question we would have a pool feature by design if the pool is published in the right manner.
If you agree to this consideration, please vote "like" If you don't agree please vote "dislike" If you are not sure that you got the idea please select "like" and "dislike"
@bitpickup @mina Always have a back up iteration. Comes in handy when an Admin goes Ferral an Cybermurders your account. This is not something my people tell. It is something i know myself
Hi there @utopiarte, I'm observing this #poll question on the #friendica @helpers #group from over here on a #mastodon instance and can't like, only fav, yet actually I'd like to be against this proposal as it is very dangerous!
I wouldn't put my name on the line in this internet for poll's by name vote, #democracy or even post an opinion.

I think having support for real polls is superior than abusing like / dislike for polls. Many polls cannot be answered with like / dislike. Thus I "vote" with dislike.
On the long run ideally like + dislike will be replaced by allowing arbitrary emoji reactions. And like + dislike are optional so many instances opt to disable dislike. And while I am a big fan of allowing any emoji, those instances also have good reasons to limit reactions.
Sounds fascinating for me that you percive this as an "abuse" of like / dislike .
For me like/dislike is just +/-.
Actually on mastodon they press a fav and over here the software tells me that it's a like.
On the long run ideally like + dislike will be replaced by allowing arbitrary emoji reactions.
Never thought about that, or heard that option. I guess it sounds plausible, would be like element works right now. Personally I perceive the whole emoji movement as childish kitsch and prefer my gif quick comments here on f°. Arbitrary emoji reactions could be added inbetween the existing +/-.
And like + dislike are optional so many instances opt to disable dislike.

thx (seriously) for pointing out my intent to drown poll's in a pool, my spell checker isn't LLM yet and I just trained him to accept the every existence of friendicans as a human race! I liked that you raised a voice in the first place and helped me to improve my take and gave you a fav for that. (reluctant trilingual [staatl Dipl Ing] legastenik over here)
👍 if you are in favor of the gladiator in the ring trying to defend his position of no need for pools on f^.

The emoji ship has sailed, they are a de facto standard which will not go away, no matter your personal perception. They are in every messenger, signal, element and even modern xmpp clients support message reactions.
Ultimately, to begin with, this is about communication, words, meaning and the meaning we create for them in a evolving (or devolving) process. An evolutionary proces called culture. As background for this statement of mine I'd like to pinPoint to this conversational snippet on YT on the topic.

That's not the point about emoji's. The problem is more likely that when ever you give mono sapiens a hammer, he/she/it thinks that every thing looks like a nail.

Also, the way we present and implement those tools encourages their use, and can convert every comment into a stupid egyption sign language, or a advanced chinese language sign for that matter. A language that you first have to learn, get used too and even might missinterpretate. :)
Thumbs up / down was never designed for polls so yes, abuse / misuse / unintended use of implementation is accurate. In my way of meaning this is conservativ BS
What is true, and worth while too point out, is that 👎👍 is the global international sign language since the roman empire, so in the first place I'd suppose that we should skip the words in all languages for the thumbs, if we haven't done already, and only leave the thumbs sign. That way we skip the fb BS of friends and likes imposed by a criminal psycopath on the world of the 21first century.
By doing that, instead of arguing that some original intent and design is a wall that has to be respected as a rule cisceled into stone, we could give our minds the chance to think outside the box and evolve the design of our tool friendica, actually be a quite cool KISS move, opening the doors of our software wide open to become even capable of having a democratic feature used to make laws in most evolved democracies of the planet.
So, this time my dear freind @Wilhelm I liked your comment because the link to github is much apreciated. I guess that you frequent that site a lot. As I don't any more, can you place the folling link as a comment in that githib request: github.com/friendica/friendica… Comment:
@all, please don't vote this comment, I already won. Game, set and match! At least in my humble mind and the opninion I came to in that personal space by creating this post and evolving the idea, that includes the help of your feedBack. The rest is CAKE
@utopiArte Friendica already has read-only supports for polls according to the ActivityPub implemented by Mastodon. However allowing users to participate in polls requires more frontend chops than we currently have. 😔
👍 if you, who ever you are, think so. 👍👎 if you don't know 👎 that's not possible or reasonable. If you dislike because it's not reasonable please add the reasoning to the comments bellow.
@utopiArte No, because it requires additional database tables to record local users’ votes in polls. So it wouldn’t be easier to make it as an addon.
What needs to be done: - Update the current poll display to include form controls for local users to vote. - Update the current poll display to reflect the current user’s choice(s). - Store the local users’ choices, currently we only store vote aggregates transmitted to us by the remote systems. - Wire the form to the storage through an asynchronous module. - Add a form to attach a poll to a post, maybe as an additional tab in the JOT? - Store the user-created polls along with their options. This may be already available since we’re storing remote polls. - Wire the form to the post creation in the already humongous Item module. - Add support for polls in the ActivityPub post transmission. - Add a fallback display for Diaspora which we still support.

The challenges: - Currently polls are cached with the rest of the post body for all local users. Allowing individual users to vote and displaying their choice(s) invalidate this caching mechanism, so the poll display needs a special treatment, either synchronously with the associated page load performance hit, or asynchronously with a progressive enhancement of the poll display. - The vote module must take into account the poll policies (expiration, number of allowed choices) and transmit votes to the remote system where the poll originated. If the poll originated on Friendica, it must transmit the updated vote aggregates to the post’s recipients.
As you can see, it isn’t trivial and it touches several internal features of Friendica.
Even tho the emoji conversation is offtopic: Not out of the need for some kind of agreement or to meet in the middle, @Wilhelm but integrating the fact that emojis do exist and ar a nice tool and at the same time trying to prevent them spamming our content the following came up, looking at the emoji bar of the github link you posted.
Introducing the selection button, inbetween thumbs up and thumbs down allowing only one selection of emoji would create a new kind of combined basic expressions.
two pics, the first is all option off, the second one emoji thumbs up, all so could be one emoji thumbs down:
I'd want a poll created on Friendica to be presented as a poll on other Fediverse platforms, especially since the downvote isn't available on all platforms (or even instances). This is not really possible with your suggestion. A free-form post is difficult to transform into a proper poll, which I assume needs be done in the background by the Friendica-to-ActivityPub connector.
Transforming a Friendica poll into a Mastodon poll (and vice versa) seems doable, if someone steps up to take on the task.
Important detail first for D* users: The original post on friendica has already moved to v.0x so it's recommended to visite this link to have an idea if there have been importante updates, other wise your comments might become out of context or be way behind the time line.

In other words what you are proposing is a poll request elaborated/discussed on friendica could be published from mastodon, and actually also on D*, to breach the gap?
Yes, that's about it. I think polls have semantics that go beyond free-form-post-with-likes-and-dislikes. Therefore, I think a poll should be sent as a poll - and votes as votes - to the platforms that support that. (Didn't remember that D* has polls.)
Platforms that don't have polls should probably just be sent an ordinary post and be left out of the voting.
No integration of the result at all. Actually there is some kind of, f^, we need to talk, what are we going to do with D*. D*, we need to talk what are your plans in general terms? (but that's offtopic here, @all please ignore!)
poll's are poll's - and votes are votes

Your request is reasonable, interesting an most likely even doable just using the helpers forum and in any case some direct help request from diasporians to friendicans. It even could be interesting to create a voting forum page.

#poll feature test, related to a #friendica post about vote by name polling. If I get this right, D*'s poll feature can have a max of four questions and multiple choice is not available.
Also notable, in comparison with #mastodon poll's, there is no time limit for the poll. As mastodon allows editing post's, the poll count is reset if the post text is edited, but not the time span of the poll. Time span is from 5 minutes up to 7 seven days.

At least he managed to onboard a filmmaker, photographer and writer as the first step to understand how invites work!
Next step will probably be creating a activityPub #podcast handle on cast.tupambae.com by @utopiArte, the admin over there, as content colection and conversation about the idea itself in the EDITing post is already up and running. Part of the details concerning the cast domain is to figure out how to organize the tools #castopod gives us at hand as it looks like it has quite interesting options to organize cooperation, as stated briefly in a tutorial page created on that site, result of the #learningBYdoing process while installing it: brief Castopod tutorial
Last but not least, we are still trying to drag @lizzischmidt the creator and promotor of the #sundayGimp community experience that is alive and running for over a decade on #diaspora* on to our shores, but federation with diaspora, from a technical point of view, definitely has seen better times in the past. Maybe this very cross community chat option, added right here and now, can help to improve the communication for all of us.
This inicial publication will federate quite well out into the vast space of the #fediVerse, but to see comments from the diaspora bubble and the #activityPub sphear, youll have to visit this original page on this friendica server. Unless of course you are friendican yourself.
So, with no more further introduction, let's jam the #fediFolks!

Paralelo a esto los conjuntos se presentan en los tablados de los barrios donde aprovechan para probar "mechas" (chistes por fuera del guión original que suelen tratar temas de actualidad) y pulir el espectáculo en general. Más o menos es así. Ah, y la comida en los tablados sale lo mismo que alquilar un monoambiente más o menos.
* humoristas * parodistas Cual vendria ser la differencia entre los dos? Me suena a que humoristas son onda #Flatsch! banda alemana occidental frankfurtense años '80 que hacia pequeños esquetches, 'mechas' entre cancion y cancion. Por cierto el escenario que ves ahi se parece bastante al de un #tablado, solo que pocas gradas y nada de sillas playa.
Bueno, eso era un festival de rock aleman cuande estaban de auge de #newWave, ya sabes el #DaDaDa'ismo de #Trio
@bitpickup las categorías son medio parecidas sí, pero el espectáculo se estructura distinto, la mayor diferencia está en que los parodistas tienen que sí o sí basarse en una obra u hecho real.
@jesuisatire digamos que todos los años aparece algún miembro del jurado al que lr encuentran declaraciones polémicas respecto a los conjuntos a los que tiene que evaluar. Entre otras cosas
ese es el caso que recuerdo ahora, fue el año pasado, una miembro del jurado había dicho directamente que La Trasnochada era una murga de mierda llena de violadores, y cuando le tocó puntuarla había una diferencia importante entre los puntajes de ella y los del resto del jurado. A ver, lq loca tenía razón, pero lo que estuvo mal fue publicarlo y quedar tan en evidencia. Después está el típico "este no sabe nada de carnaval" y hubo uno que para que te puntuara bien el conjunto te lo tenías que co*er (contado públicamente por gente de carnaval que se lo tuvo que co*er para pasar a la liguilla).

There's a cartoon image of animals welcoming visitors, and text explaining that mastodon.social is a Mastodon server. The right side shows Mastodon's general information and options to create an account or log in.

Excelente pregunta, @NaTX, asombrosamente dentro de este sistema mastodonico de aparentes comentarios fuera de contexto, ay una solucion "fascinante" al respecto.
Comunmente te la "encajan" de rezongo cuando menos lo esperas y te deja con un gusto amargo.
Y es probablemente, o quizas, #mastoSplaining par excelance.
Significa, minimamente: "Lee el hilo especifico del mensaje."
Si tu visitas el tut inicial de @satire, un perfil que por cierto es un grupo, un #foroComunitario de la plataforma #friendica, ves todas las respuestas que llegaron a tu instancia, o sea mastodon.uy en este caso.

Si @NaTXa se fijara en su perfil alla, quizas estaria viendo otra parte de todo lo que ay, incluso probablemente todas las respuestas publicamente visibles.
Si visitas la pagina originaria del perfil que inicio la conversacion, puede que veas todos los commentarios publicamente visibles o una version currada por dicho perfil.
En esta ocasion, selecciona el comentario que @jesuisatire te dejo directamente y veras, si es que commento bien, justamente encima, el commentario al que se refiere.
Y todos los comentarios de ahi para arriba vendrian ser: la habitacion, la barra, la mesa (de poker), llama lo como quieres, en el Wendy's de @ Satire.
Eso si, entiende de que "la habitacion" que estas obervando tu, siempre sera un pedazo del contexto en el fediVerso, asi que "read the room" es casi una estupidez, o al menos un poco soberbio quizas.
A ti te dicen gracias, mientras yo sigo en la nebulosa.
Mientras tanto @NaTXa tiene que dormir un par de noches para darse cuenta que probablemente te tomaste tanto tiempo en #mastosplaining la, para que dicho #fediTutorial lluege al menos al #deathStarMastodonSocial para que asi lo encuentre algun@ novat@ mas.
Otro paar de noches y se preguntara si de hecho lo publicaste "publico" para que lo reenviara desde su cuenta al vasto espacio profundo del #fedVerso.
En la edicion del tema inicial aqui arriba @SinMisterios agregue la direccion de tu perfil, pero me parece que friendica no envia noticaciones en estos casos.
Hola. Mw agobia edtiar texto, lamento no colaborar. No entiendo mucho cómo funca friendica. Veo las cosas uqe me apare en en mastodon desde tusky en el celu
recibo muchas notificiacioens y no recuerdo, no sé ni cómo se supone sea una mención. Recuerdo ver post originao de nurdov en mastodon haciendo consulta.
En uy se festeja carnaval en muchas formas. En Mvd está el concurso oficial que participan (murgas, parodistas, humoristas, revistas, comparsas) que se presentan en el Teatro de Verano y también en tablados, hay tablados comerciales y otros que no. Está carnaval barrio a barrio y de a pie. Antes está el concurso de murga joven y el carnaval de las promesas. El desfile de innauguración, el de escuelas de samba y las llamadas. Además están los corsos barriales. También hay propuestas como más carnaval creo que era,pro fuera del concurso oficial.
En Artigas hay escuelas de Samba, en Rivera es más tipo blocos. En Rocha, ta el carnaval de la pedrera o estaba, tipo fiesta en la calle, de disfraces y bastante descontrol.
La mayoría de comparsas solo desfila, algunas tmb participan del concurso oficial con esoectáculo de escenario pero cla originalmente es un conjunto qie desfilaba
Realizando 7 de los 11 cortes que realizamos con Urafrica ene el 2018 en las LLamadas de Montevideo, de Durazno y Flores !!!Pueden visitar mi Instagram y ver...
@jesuisatire @bitpickup @NaTXa no, no es eso. No me metería a negar la presencia de la afrodescendencia en Uruguay y su vigencia en la participación en expresiones culturales de origen afro. Si, hay blancos en comparsas. Una cosa no quita la otra.
Observando la casi controversia en este tema en edición @Nuldorv Amo y Señor, parece que la falta de comprensión nace de la diferenciación entre carnaval de murgas y carnaval del Uruguay.
Antes de desarrollar los detalles por la mera razón de detallar las diminutas diferencias y variaciones que hemos usado aquí, consta que sin duda el candombe y en este sentido aquí, su participación en concursos de carnaval y del carnaval popular se merece un tema en particular el que por cierto no corresponde ser enviado al grupo @Satire aquí.

Que suerte que parece que exista alguien que pueda explicar al #fediVerso un poco como es eso del #carnaval mas largo del mundo, el carnaval del #Uruguay y sus #murga's!
Comprendiendo por fin esto nodo gordico que seguramente @jesuiSatire …ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ armo, ahora si me animo de seguir con la edición de este tema.
Consulta: En que etapa del concurso estamos en este momento? Vi un comentario de @piracalamina sobre estar a punto de visitar el teatro de verano y en alguno lado hubo una cita de un tema publicado por alguna cuenta de @Gustavo Antúnez.
Aquí una clásica entrada de Carnaval de la región central del Rin -> Renania. Ademas de lo que se ve ahí con los clásicos conjuntos de desfile callejero el lunes de rosas, en los eventos en interiores siempre ay también discursos de podio, Büttenredner, que resumen los acontecimientos sociales del año pasado de forma pintoresca e irónica, parecido a como las murgas toman nota de lo ocurrido.
El titulo del video, "Wolle ma se rei lasse?", hace referencia a la clásica consulta al publico si va a permitir que el siguiente acto pueda entrar: "Los dejaremos entrar?"

I should also mention that we had great conversations with the Mastodon team (hi @renchap@oisaur.com and @dave@upp2.com!), and their commitments to working towards better support for long-form text is evident.
