Never forget this image:

We are tiny and fragile. And we are all on the same spaceship. Fighting with each other, polluting, destroying ourselves and the spaceship with its ecosystems, is a sign of a primitive species.

Technologically we are advanced. Morally, primitive still. We look for signs of intelligent life out there, but there seem to be none in here.

We have created a system of "politics" that is a mere fashion show. We do not know what is true anymore, nor that we ever knew. Science is here to help, but the incentive to trade made us merchants and consumers, so the value is in how much we acquire. Science is thus, mainly a tool to help us sell more. Build taller buildings for richer humans, make thinner smart-phones for stupid-consumers; better tanks and rockets to destroy the others: more plastic, more livestock, more of the same products wrapped in different wrappers, all on the backs of our capable technology.

Science tells us that we are all one, connected through evolution, entangled with the universe. Atoms, cells, planets. But who has the time to embrace this reality when we are all rats in a trade-race!?

Conquerors, emperors, politicians, are self delusional. Even their victories are momentary. We should, by now, go at war with cancer, pollution, biodiversity loss, homelessness, other diseases, asteroids....not with each other.

Your tanks and missiles won't bring peace.
Your lies and fake news don't exist.
Your words are swords, that only cut
A world of wars, online or not.

And even those who use no sword,
Their words are empty, their actions fold.

!Friendica Support
I'm new on friendica, and these are some questions/doubts I have regarding this platform:

• There is a setting called "Allow your profile to be searchable globally?" and the text below says this:
  

  Activate this setting if you want others to easily find and follow you. Your profile will be searchable on remote systems. This setting also determines whether Friendica will inform search engines that your profile should be indexed or not. Your profile will also be published in the global friendica directories (e.g. dir.friendica.social).

  
  What if I want other fediverse users to easily find me, but don't want to be indexed by search engines ? 🤔

• Why don't friendica show follower notifications in the webapp ?
  This is a soapbox account, meaning I don't have to manually approve contact requests, kinda like how mastodon is by default. But I'd still like to get a notification when someone new follows me, its a great way of finding new people. Interestingly, I could see these follower notifications when I logged into the tusky client, although I couldn't see any other notifications (like when someone tags me or likes my post) on tusky, weird......
• It takes a lot longer for posts & replies to appear on friendica. why does posts appear quicker on mastodon instances compared to friendica ? Is there anything we can do to improve the situation so that posts federate quickly ?
• This is from the friendica documentation here:
  

  If you mistakenly created a message and wish you could take it back, the best you can do is to delete it. We will send out a delete notification to everybody who received the message - and this should wipe out the message with the same speed it was initially propagated. In most cases it will be completely wiped from the Internet - in under a minute. Again, this applies to Friendica networks. Once a message spreads to other networks, it may not be removed quickly and in some cases it may not be removed at all.

  
  Which are these "other networks" and why does it make it difficult to delete user posts ? Mastodon also allows users to delete their posts, does the same problem happen on mastodon too ? I know friendica federates with more platforms than mastodon, are there any platforms that don't allow post deletion at all ? Also I wonder if a similar problem happens when editing posts too ?
