Citation déformée venant d'un tract clandestin du Parti Communiste Français intitulé "Révolution et contre-révolution au 20e siècle" en réponse à "Or et Sang", conférence donnée par Alfred Rosenberg le 28 novembre 1940 à la Chambre des députés de Paris en règlement de comptes des idées de 1789 qui «récupère» la révolte populaire de la fin du XVIIIe siècle pour présenter le national-socialisme comme une authentique révolution nationale. L'auteur de ce tract de 1940 est Georges Politzer.
Cette citation n'est pas extraite de "La Philosophie et les mythes", texte publié dans le n°1 de "La Pensée" en 1939, contrairement à ce qu'affirme le Café Littéraire.
Extrait du tract "Révolution et contre-révolution au 20e siècle" écrit par Georges Politzer (1940):
La Révolution française est l'honneur historique du peuple de France. Le culte du passé glorieux qu'elle représente acquiert un contenu et un sens nouveau à l'heure où le capitalisme français livre la nation à l'oppression d'un impérialisme étranger. Le discours de M. Rosenberg appelait donc une réponse. Les marxistes français, c'est-à-dire les communistes, la lui apportent. Ce fait est à la fois naturel et significatif. La lutte active contre toute cette colonisation spirituelle, dont le voyage de M. Rosenberg est le symbole, est inséparable de la lutte pour la liberté et l'indépendance de la France. Le Parti Communiste Français a la fierté d'être à l'avant-garde de cette lutte. Le fait que ce sont les communistes français, et eux seuls, qui répondent à M. Rosenberg, montre, en même temps, combien il est vrai que la défaite a marqué aussi l'effondrement idéologique de tous les autres partis. M. Rosenberg est venu à Paris pour un «règlement de comptes» avec les idées de 1789.

Citation un peu déformée extraite de "Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra" de Friedrich Nietzsche (1883) , Première partie "La vieille et la jeune femme".
Ce philosophe n'avait pas la lumière intérieure (et il a déprimé plus d'un de ses lecteurs).
Cette citation n'apporte rien de nouveau dans la connaissance de l'être humain (et il a fait des généralités inacceptables!).
Extrait de "Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra" de Friedrich Nietzsche (1883) , Première partie "La vieille et la jeune femme":
«Maintes fois déjà Zarathoustra a parlé, même à nous autres femmes, mais jamais il ne nous a parlé de la femme.» Je lui ai répondu: «Il ne faut parler de la femme qu'aux hommes.» «À moi aussi tu peux parler de la femme, dit-elle; je suis assez vieille pour oublier aussitôt tout ce que tu m'auras dit.» Et je condescendis aux désirs de la vieille femme et je lui dis: Chez la femme tout est une énigme: mais il y a un mot à cet énigme: ce mot est grossesse. L'homme est pour la femme un moyen: le but est toujours l'enfant. Mais qu'est la femme pour l'homme? L'homme véritable veut deux choses: le danger et le jeu. C'est pourquoi il veut la femme, le jouet le plus dangereux. L'homme doit être élevé pour la guerre, et la femme pour le délassement du guerrier: tout le reste est folie. Le guerrier n'aime les fruits trop doux. C'est pourquoi il aime la femme; une saveur amère reste même à la femme la plus douce. Mieux que l'homme, la femme comprend les enfants, mais l'homme est plus enfant que la femme. Dans tout homme véritable se cache un enfant: un enfant qui veut jouer. Allons, femmes, découvrez-moi l'enfant dans l'homme! Que la femme soit un jouet, pur et menu, pareil au diamant, rayonnant des vertus d'un monde qui n'est pas encore!
La Piéride du chou (Pieris brassicae) est une espèce paléarctique de lépidoptères (papillons) de la famille des Pieridae. Elle est notamment très répandue en Europe.

L'Azuré des nerpruns ou Argus à bande noire (Celastrina argiolus) est une espèce paléarctique de lépidoptères (papillons) de la famille des Lycaenidae, commune en Europe.
Avez-vous vu un Azuré des nerpruns cette année ? Bien qu'il puisse être difficile de repérer les papillons lorsqu'ils voltigent haut autour des buissons et des arbres, début septembre est le moment idéal pour trouver les chenilles camouflées sur les bourgeons de lierre. 🐛
NGC 6744 est une galaxie spirale intermédiaire relativement rapprochée de la constellation du Paon. Les dernières estimations de sa distance en 2018 la situe entre 23 et 29 millions d'années-lumière de nous.
NGC 6744 n'a été prise en photo par Hubble qu'en partie:
Elle a au moins une galaxie naine pour compagnon bien visible qui tourne autour d'elle. Il s'agit de NGC 6744A que j'ai entouré en vert sur cette autre photographie récente prise par un amateur. Sa distance n'a pourtant pas pu être établie (même pas de redshift).
Un article de 2022 estime que cette galaxie à 5 ou 6 compagnons nains. NGC 6744 est plus grande que la Voie Lactée: ~172000 années-lumière de diamètre face à ~110000 années-lumière.
Voici l'identification de 8 étoiles présentes sur les clichés (les 3 dernières sont bien visibles sur le cliché de Hubble à droite):
1 - CPD-63 4483. Il s'agit d'une géante orange 11 fois plus grosse et 3 fois plus massive que le Soleil. Elle est située à 2418 années-lumière. 2 - TYC 9079-905-1. Il s'agit d'une géante orange 21 fois plus grosse et 4 fois plus massive que le Soleil. Elle est située à 6430 années-lumière. 3 - TYC 9079-401-1. Il s'agit d'une géante blanche 5 fois plus grosse et 3 fois plus massive que le Soleil. Elle est située à 4924 années-lumière. 4 - UCAC2 3812567. Il s'agit d'une géante orange 10 fois plus grosse et 2 fois plus massive que le Soleil. Elle est située à 4401 années-lumière. 5 - Gaia DR3 6438527753371409152. Il s'agit d'une étoile jaune 2 fois plus grosse et 1,4 fois plus massive que le Soleil (espérance de vie: 4,1 milliards d'années). Elle est située à 2222 années-lumière. 6 - Gaia DR3 6438576269322000640. Il s'agit d'une étoile jaune/orange de même taille que le Soleil mais 0,8 fois moins massive (espérance de vie 15 milliards d'années). Elle est située à 2454 années-lumière. 7 - Gaia DR3 6438576338039345920. Il s'agit d'une étoile jaune 2 fois plus grosse et 1,4 fois plus massive que le Soleil (espérance de vie: 4,6 milliards d'années). Elle est située à 4039 années-lumière. 8 - Gaia DR3 6438576269322000000. Il s'agit d'une étoile jaune 2 fois plus grosse et 1,2 fois plus massive que le Soleil (espérance de vie: 6,2 milliards d'années). Elle est située à 6320 années-lumière.

Tried logging on to here via Subway Tooter, which I use for Mastodon. It's supposed to work with Friendica too. I tried the Friendiqa app but it doesn't even recognise this site exists. Anyway it appeared I'd logged on successfully but when I went to look at my feed I got a very long error message. The folks on Subway Tooter's help forum said it was a server issue and to contact the server owner.
@Vanessa That would be me for future reference (in the menu under information it has a lot of the server details and in there is a link to my profile as well as my email address)
If you look further down on that error message where it says HTTP 502 Bad Gateway it tells me the server might have been having issues at that point in time. In all honestly it's kinda unavoidable at the time due to resource constraints, sites currently on a rented dedicated server until I fix my housing situation (current ETA is late october when I can work on putting it back on my own, more stable, hardware again), so it probably was just having issues loading that page at that time.
There's not a lot I can do with troubleshooting clients, but let me know if it keeps having trouble and maybe I can work with you to find some answers?
I've got it partially working. The feed doesn't work but the notifications do and I can boost/repost posts from my Mastodon accounts onto my Foggy Minds account
As I move into my 40s, and contend with the dynamic tension of both more time, money, and capability; against higher demands on those very resources. I've been looking for a new place to do my social networking. I don't need the massive social networks of the past, since most of my community is well established at this point. It's nice to have federation, so my more distant friends can still see my posts without having to maintain or check a specific network just on my behalf. It's a little disappointing to find the landscape of self-hosted or federated social networks so barren, but Friendica seems like a solid option. The federated landscape makes it easier to try a platform, knowing that my work will not be forever vendor-locked into that platform.
Introduction The following text is a story I wrote yesterday. There are some deep layers of meaning (such as the character's main name, "Baykus", from the turkish word for "owl"). There are some "Lovecraftian" aspects as well (although I'm not really a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, but let's say me and him were inspired by the same... realm).
There is also a defense of Mother Nature (Gaia, Pachamama, Goddess Isis, Demetre, the list goes on), Her relationship with ancient knowledge (hereby represented by the archetype of the owl and the oak tree), and a critique of the way people fear the unknown, especially the darker aspects of the nature (Darkness is not evil; if it weren't by Her dark aspects, there'd be no light).
The story is human-written (i.e. not an AI output), I guess it'll be evident as there are some English grammar errors of mine (I'm Brazilian and my native language is Portuguese, so I'm aware I commit a lot of mistakes when I write English texts, even though I'm capable of writing rhyming poetry).
The shadows of Baykus oak tree The quietness of the boy made her restless. She noticed that Baykus hasn't eaten since yesterday, preferring to sit below that old oak tree. Every time she tried to approach him, he'd run away somewhere else inside the big yard.
The sky was overcast, it'll rain any time soon. But these dense clouds didn't suffice to scare Baykus, as he continued to sit and gaze at the nothing like a thousand yard stare. As the day became darker and darker, his mother could finally understand what he was looking at. Mesmerized, she went outside and sat by the stair steps.
Days passed and the neighbors started to worry about the absence of both Baykus and his mother. They tried to call, but no one answered. They tried to spy by the window, the kitchen door was open but there was no signal of them. Another day passed and the neighbors called the police. When the policemen broke into the house, they readily started to notice a dark smoke coming out. Initially thinking that it could be some pot that was forgotten by the stove, they found the kitchen abandoned, but there was no lit fire nor pot over the stove, and the smoke was coming from everywhere across the house, letting the agents curious and confused about what was going on.
One of the policemen noticed the opened door that led to the yard and decided to go there. There was no one there, except for the shoes of Baykus' mother at the stairs, and the black smoke permeated the entire yard. Next to the oak, they found another pair of shoes, these from Baykus. They also found the source of the strange smoke inside the oak's trunk, but the oak wasn't on fire.
There was a little hole and they decided to look inside. The policeman put his eye near the hole and then he fell to his knees, paralyzed. Fearing that the smoke could be some toxic chemical, the other policemen readily ran to the car and fetched some masks. Another policeman, masked, tried to look, and the same situation happened as soon as his eye approached the hole: he fell to his knees, with his eyes wide open.
The third and last policeman decided to cut through the tree trunk, so he fetched an ax. When he was going to wave the ax against the tree, the voice of Baykus was heard coming from inside: "Don't!". The policeman tried to talk to him, but this was the only word they heard from him. The policeman, desperate, continued with his idea of cutting through the trunk (if Baykus is stuck inside, cutting the trunk of the tree would help, he thought). As he approached the ax against the tree, the blade got extremely hot, glowing red, starting to burn his hand as he dropped it.
Confused, he tried to put his hand inside that hole, only to be grabbed by a couple hands inside. These hands were cold, like icy cold. As he tried to pull back, the hands started to pull him inside. He tried to fetch his gun, but it was as hot as that axe he was using. He started to panic when the hands let him free.
He ran away thinking of calling reinforcement, but as he tried to enter the kitchen, he noticed something even more weird: there was no street but a black veil all the way from the sky. He looked back, trying to find another exit, but as he turned, he came across the boy and his mother, standing together both staring at him. He looked to his side and saw the two policemen, also standing and staring at him. Scared by the way they were staring at him, he slowly paced backwards, only to find the wall behind him.
Baykus approached him and gently grabbed his hand, taking him to the oak tree, the others followed. As they approached the tree, the man was paralyzed by what he saw: the eyes of Baykus got bigger and darkened.
The smoke surrounded the policeman and he started to hear voices, billions of voices: they were the thoughts of every human alive and dead. They were memories, both good and bad, but mostly dark and shadowy. The grieving from those who lost their loved ones, the woe from those who were alone, the suffering from those who were in pain.
He started to know everything, from the known knowledge to the unknown, and this made he feel the burden. The burden She has had since the beginning of times, the burden faced by Darkness, an unknown entity that he was starting to know. "She is our mother. The mother of all living beings, and She is your mother, too. She was looking for you and now She is looking after you.", Baykus said. Although paralyzed, the policeman smiled.
The smile couldn't be seen by the neighbors: all they could see was three paralyzed policemen, one of which was paralyzed as soon he walked inside the kitchen. The neighbors couldn't understand what was going on and, scared by the unknown, they ran from it... As everybody does... 🦉🌲🌒
So I'm relatively new to fediverse, although I have already interacted with federated protocols (such as Matrix, but Matrix is way different from Mastodon/Friendica/Bluesky/Pleroma/etc).
I have been sailing through two Mastodon instances, but Mastodon's character limit is low for my needs. I'm a developer (JS, PHP, Python, etc) that also like to write poetry and chronicles, as well as interacting with AI to create artistic representations of the gothic and the dark supernatural. While it seems that Friendica supports more characters, I'll know it the moment I send this first post. It has 1342 characters in total.
I have a syncretic view over the reality, trying to converge scientific inquiry with the philosophical questioning and the metaphysical spirituality from all religions and belief systems (even when they seem to "contradict" one another; actually, they have more in common than people think, starting from the beginning of the existence from primordial waters from the amniotic liquid to the electromagnetic fields permeating the cosmos, but it's a subject for another future post).
One important thing for me to ask: does the instance allow AI Art (e.g. from artistic representations of daemons such as Astaroth and Lilith to mathematical concepts such as fractals; obviously these AI imagery would be marked as so)?
@Daemon Silverstein This instance? I allow properly marked AI content, I would also suggest content warnings (in Friendica it's done with [abstract]content warning message[/abstract]), but I count that more as a courtesy effort than something I'm going to really demand.
Friendica has no character limit set.
As Friendica isn't the friendliest user interface, if you do find you'd prefer Mastodon or Mastodon-like, there are many that have higher character limits.
I tried Friendica previously, but never figured out what I wanted to do with it, and deleted it after a while. But after I'd read the excellent post @Elena Rossini wrote on her blog I realised I really should give it another chance, and decided to put a little more effort into it this time. So I created this account yesterday, and now I'm trying to decide how I want to use it. Some part of that uncertainty is because I haven't figured out all the bells and whistles of the platform, and I don't always quite understand what the help pages are trying to tell me. This is definitely mostly on me, having some preconceived notions and expectations, and getting a little confused here and there. This is not Facebook or Goggle+, it is its own thing. For the most part though, just trying things out with one eye on those help pages have solved any questions I've had.
After I had signed up, I initially imported all the accounts I am following on Mastodon, but am starting to regret this. The two networks are obviously very different beasts, and I will act accordingly from now on. My current idea is to use Friendica, at least partly, as a sort of news aggregator, following accounts both on the fediverse and via RSS feeds, so a lot of those Mastodon accounts will be unfollowed here for a quieter experience and left on Mastodon. Just because you can follow everything everywhere on ActivityPub, it doesn't always make the best sense. But that, of course, is also the beauty of this, what doesn't make the best sense for me, might do for someone else. Different folks...
Occasionally I may even post something here, things that require more than 500 words, things like this.
That's what I'm planning to do right now, anyway. Who knows what I'll think tomorrow?
@Jarulf @Elena Rossini welcome aboard! I'm definitely saving that article, might link it or one of the guides it mentions in the getting started welcome panel (... I should review that as well, I haven't looked at it in ages)
Also remember there's a helper group as you're figuring things out, just tag helpers@forum.friendi.ca (not tagged here because otherwise it'll share this comment to the group). I'm also happy to help out my users!
@Shiri Bailem Thank you, happy to be here. And also thank you for providing the instance. I'm figuring things out as I go along, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to like it here. I'll be sure to ask for help when I'm getting too confused
I started to digging into my latest hobby of #bookbinding (but it's not the only one i assure you) And made several pamphlet, with also some custom design. I recently made couple of handmade hardcover journals. One using a custom hero-quest character sheet, the other one is just a lined notebook. More info for who is interested are available here: https://ko-fi.com/post/Two-more-bookbinding-projects-M4M511EWAN (don't worry all my posts on #ko-fi are free) It also gave my a nice surprise of receiveing the first donation ever (even if it will be the last it still made me happy! :) ) Any opinion comment is appreciated. These are couple of pictures of my latest works:

Hello there. Glasgow calling. I'm an analogue digital hybrid who cares about mental health issues, music, photography and art. I'm deeply suspicious of ducks (in a less than serious way) and although I exist on Mastodon I'm keen to migrate to Friendica. Best wishes all.
