#LBGTQ Be the change, share the love. Simple really. Thanks @cjpaloma . I was looking for a concise description of #sheeple. Love ya 😎 ⬇️
"minimally engaged" types who remain impressively unaware of how they are being manipulated, used, lied to etc. "

@RejoinEU We live in hope but we both know the great #english #sheeple have been so brainwashed that practical is not on their horizon. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/05/23/i-hope-the-british-public-see-how-practical-it-is-eu-trade-commissioner-says-about-eu-uk-d

Got this piece done on my livestream today. It’s a sheep that I’m using for another piece I’m working on. But someone told me this might make a great card itself, so that’s what I did.

I’m calling it “Sheeple”. I imagine it could be quite useful for folks who need to be told something they’re not ready to hear.

You know who I’m talking about.

ANYway, here’s the listing on my Goimagine Handmade Art Shop:

This piece is Human-made by me, without any artificial generation nonsense.

Ah, the cockerel crows and the full moon glows, a fine moment to scratch at the compost pile.

You’re right, most are merrily skipping through walled gardens, hashtagging selfies and feeding the #dotcons. But seeds don’t need mass attention, they just do need rich compost. That’s what we need to build. Slow, damp, a bit smelly, but fertile.

The #sheeple and not my flock, they belong to the algorithmic shepherds. We’re feeding the stray goats and curious crows.

You don’t convert people by preaching. You do it by making better paths, ones they choose when the old ones crumble. We don’t sell the #openweb like snake oil — we show it, live in it, fix it when it breaks, and compost the crap. It’s #DIY, not #drm

As for silos and skips, good compost needs oxygen, not airtight boxes. So yeah, a messy open pile — full of half-rotten ideas, posts, drama, even the occasional troll turd.

We trust in tools not gatekeepers, the #4opens are the shovels, rakes, and sieves. The people bring the scraps, and over time, it breaks down into something usable.

No army of mods, no paywalls, simple trust, process, and a lot of patience. Think rural anarchism, not startup governance.

On scaling... Ah, the eternal #techshit question, "Does it scale?" That’s the wrong frame. Nature doesn’t scale, it sprawls.

We’re not building an empire. We’re nurturing a network. Think mycelium, not megastructure.

The #OMN isn’t about numbers. It’s about resilience and agency. If it sprouts in some cracks, the monoculture breaks. And yes, nettles welcome

The #Kolektivas, the #fashernista paradoxes, the semi-anarchic infighting, it all goes in the pile. Break it down, stir it up, give it time…

And what do you get? Fluffy, fertile humus — ready for new growth. That’s the cycle. That’s the plan.

@witchescauldron
OK, you post on this stuff almost as frequently as a clock chimes, more often than the cockerel crows. We'll bite seeing as it's full moon and allegedly the best time for sowing seeds.
• Where are your audience, who are your #sheeple? Most will be blithely hopping in and out of the various walled gardens, so how are they to discover, or be persuaded to, the joys of the #OpenWeb; that it's the (non-cancerous) #growth (aka #PostGrowth / #Degrowth) they're truly looking for? How are they to be converted into disciples and evangelists?
° From the opposite POV, what sort of #silo are you going to build for your composting needs. The sort of open skip that other people will opportunistically fill up rapidly with all sorts of shit and trash? And will you be relying on the rakes, forks and shovels of a huge team of mods? How will they be onboarded? Or a pay-what-you-can-or-will model where people can post all their shit until moved on?
• And with respect to your pitch for the #OMN, just as inevitably, as the Esther Dysons of this word can never be unheard saying, "Does it even scale?"

Would merrily go off on further tangents on the Peertube/Youtube dilemmas, what is to be done with an anarcho-silo like Kolektiva, and so on, but hey there's other nettles to be scythed. Does it all go into the mix and get broken down into some lovely fluffy and friable rich humus in the end?

does anyone else think it's weird that the government has been taken over by fascists who are attacking our closest allies, but we are all going to work where we are expected to act like nothing is happening?

@RandomFactsAboutCats I knew it! I said it! My cat is secretly using my phone when I'm not looking. Sleeping on my phone all the time, eh? I've seen through this a long time ago.And those pawprints and cat hair on the laptop's keyboard?They weren't there when I went to sleep! You can't fool me! That's why you can only add 5 fingerprints to your phone, btw. Other five is hidden and reserved for nose prints.

Kamala Harris won and she is the President of the United States.

You see how fucking stupid that sounds? Exactly like all of you fucking dip shits that kept repeating the same for the orange asshole during Joe Bidens term.

Remember when Trump lied and said he didn’t know anything about Project 2025? An awful lot of people believed him, and they’re finding out too late that, as usual, you can’t trust him about *anything*. #sheeple #sheeple4trump

The #Obstacles To #Meritocracy

The content #power elite is #unwilling to change the #status quo.

The suffering lazy obese #sheeple are unwilling to change the status quo.

So everyone must be forced into a more humane existence.

Time to get started!

How many followers does it take to unleash the trappings of one's god complex? It seems different for all. Hide the back. Block the front. Brick by brick, another empire, another fall. Another brick in the wall.

@GatekeepKen @flexghost It certainly seems that way. Not #sheeple just flat out #zombies.

The ones who are awake and intimately following this complex multi systems nightmare are most definitely in the minority.

It’s time to stop trying to wake up the #sheeple and start pulling them from life support. Euthanasia, that’s all.

I Turn to #TheWho , the UK rock band "The Who" - who had two different songs: "I've Had Enough" and "Had Enough" - because that is how much I've had enough of The Audience and Voters of the USA who can't CONFRONT Russia DIRECTLY!

Cambridge Analytica attacked WE THE PEOPLE, Fox News attacks WE THE PEOPLE. Elon Musk Twitter attacks WE THE PEOPLE. All to Serve Russia, Putin, Kremlin!

I am #poor, so #travel, let alone #flying isn't something I do frequently, definitely not enough to pay for #TSA #PreCheck just to be hassled slightly less in a supposedly free society, but even if I wanted to pay the money, I'd have to go for an in-person interview with a corporate stooge, and there are no agents within a 100 km radius of my home, and I am #carfree. And then this corporation gets my data to use for police profit.

We still have an opaque #NoFlyList. People are #sheeple.

So the orange critter left his sheeple 5 miles from where they parked their cars because he did not pay the busses to transport the folks back to their cars! #Sheeple #FuckTrump #VoteHarrisWalz2024
