How to contact me

How to contact me

2019 is almost finished and it is time to think. Think about the past year, think about the new year that is coming. I will write an article about how was 2019 but now I wanted to explain how to contact me.

Probably you didn’t notice it but I am a GAFAM resistant. I explain. I try to organised my digital life without GAFAM if possible. It is a process. I am still using Google for translation or for reseaurch. I even have a gmail account. But I am not using Facebook. I still have whatsapp. But if possible I am using Telegram or other alternative tools.

I will explain the reason and then I will explain you how to contact me.

Reason : GAFAM (Google Amazon Facebook Apple and Microsof) are oligopole that leads the world. They know all about you. They know where you are and what you think. So today internet is getting dangerous. The next dictator will have no difficulty to have all power. Even if I have nothing to hide, I try to resist again robots and unjustice in this world. It is a little drop in the ocean but if I can inspire you. I will be very happy. Facebook is not a social media it use to be. Today it is a strong marketing plateform. They show you what they want.. If you want to be free. Do not use Facebook, Whatapp and Instagram even if all your friends use them. Now I will give you alternatives.

First you can contact me on Mastodon. My main account is https://theres.life/@kris or kris@theres.file. Mastodon is a federated social network, Like email you don’t need to have an account on each plateform to communicate but only one email. With mastodon you only need an account compatible with ActivityPub. If you have already a mastodon account or any other Activtypub account just add me. You will be able to comment or send me private message.

If you like to share pictures. You can add my pixelfed account https://pixfed.com/kris if it an Instagram alternative but free and federated. You even can follow my account on Mastodon or theoreticaly on any other ActivityPub instance.

Lastly I want to give you my Hubzilla account ( https://hub.libranet.de/channel/kris ). Hubzilla is more than a social plateform. Of course you can share messages, pictures or video and comment them but it is very secure and private if you want. You data belong to you. And the best is that you have a nomadic identity. That means that your identity is not attached to only one site. But you can move from site to site. I know this concept is strange for you maybe. But it is real. If my main account have problem I can clone it and use an other site and continue to talk as usual. If you want to talk with me in Hubzilla you need to open an account on Hubzilla or zap. Not all site are open for registration.

Conclusion the best way to communicate for me on social plateform is mastodon, pixelfed and hubzilla. Of course if you know me better email still exists and you still can use telegram or viber. But my article was focused on social plateform. I will be happy to read you.

How are you?

How are you?

English is not my language. English is not my culture and sometimes very simple question is hard to hear and to answer for me. I hate the question « How are you ». Here I will try to find why. Not sure I will find a reason but I will try.

Maybe I am strange but this very common question that I heard on almost every starting conversation is my hate.

I never don’t know how to answer this question. I will explain you why.

First hypothese : I am not formalist or against formalism. This question most of the time is not a question. i It is only a formal starting of conversation. And I hate that. Let’s start talking really. Usualy people answer I am fine.

Second hypothse : I receive this question as a real question and I want to answer honesty. When I am feeling good I want to say I am good when I am feeling bad I want to say I am feeling bad. But when I receive this question most of the time I am feeling bad just because of that question that I hate.

Third hypothese : I am honest. I dont’ like to lie and sometimes as I don’t like this question hypocritical I can answer I am well even when I am feeling bad.

Next hypothese : Sometimes I like to be provocative and I can answer I am feeling bad even when I am feeling good. I know that it is very impolite to say I am feeling bad. If you ask a question expect a real answer otherwise do not ask !!!

My conclusion ; I hate this question because I don’t know how to answer. I am feeling like in an exam and I must answer to that question correctly and sometimes I don’t say the correct answer. So I find this video. 36 Smart and Interesting Responses to ‘HOW ARE YOU. Maybe that will help me to pick up a random answer when I don’t know the answer.
