The media love to remind all of us of the so-called 1% but NEVER mention the 0.0001%. Roughly 400 Americans that have an unimaginable amount of wealth. Not Jeff Bezos, Not Elon Musk nor anyone that is publicly acknowledged.
Wealth Shown to Scale has shown all of us, for many years, the diseased dragons lying on mountains of gold. These are the ones that own and control almost everything that happens on Earth.
I just received my invite code today and took a quick look around the app. Like Mastodon I **do not** prefer microblogging platforms. And that's all I know about Bluesky.
So, what can you tell me about this project?
I was on the beta testing team and have been using Beeper for a little over two years now.
The convenience of having an application to house all of your chat networks is amazing.
I am a parent (stay-at-home dad) of two boys (10 and 14 years old). Best advice that I can give is 'attachment parenting' and teaching/encouraging 'emotional intelligence'. Those two were the most recommended by the top child psychologists on Earth.
Both boys have been in gifted and talented programs (without any parental pressure) for many years and are on track to receive full scholarships.
In short, we have talked to them about everything...talk talk and more talk...encourage them to talk about their feelings/emotions...if they feel ashamed about talking to their parents about something, then find someone (friend, family member, school counselor, etc) to talk about it.
From infancy until around the age of four, we would read to them. We'd sit in a chair, place them on our lap, hold the book open right in front of them and read. As they grew older we explained that there is a direct relationship between reading comprehension skills (critical thinking) and the amount of money one could earn in a career. Basically, we asked them: Do you want this type of mid-sized house/property, two cars, time off of work, pets, etc? -> Read and understand what you are reading.
(Please provide your Lemmy app recommendations in the comments)
There are two apps, in particular, that I am testing.
[Mlem](https://github.com/mormaer/Mlem) (iOS) & [memmy](https://github.com/gkasdorf/memmy) (iOS & Android)
Both are plugging away and looking very good.
Anyone can be duped by scammers. This is a huge problem that needs solutions.

I’m just curious as to what Beeper’s response will be.
