   @lxoliva I am preparing to deliver this as an HPR episode. Am I interpreting correctly that your text is CC-by-SA 3.0 Unported?
   
   As I'm proofreading it again in preparation I will probably uncover some further small fixes, are you interested in hearing them?
   
   First out is "but of much older devices" -> strike the "of".

     I've just translated to English the message I wrote last month to the inhabitants of the Bubbletrix.

     "control of personal behavior" would flow well with the other "of"s in the sequence.

     I'd double-check this with a native speaker, but I think without "in" is probably better.

     I think "payback" has connotation of revenge rather than something beneficial. Maybe:
     
     without anything whatsoever offered in return
     
     or maybe just:
     
     without any compensation whatsoever

     "or news that" ... ask a native speaker whether "plants" or "plant" is better.
     
     Or go with "or a piece of news that plants ..."

     Checking their sites, FreedomBox and ownCloud are capital and small camel case respectively, but Nextcloud is as you've written.

     @lxoliva Cool text! The Morpheus delivery really works, and I support every word of it(although I don't live up to all of it -- I suffer from pragmatism still).
     
     I'm putting vocal delivery of this into my list of #hprep todo.

     @lxoliva I like the #ssb software and I like the community.
     
     There have been several influxes of people who are interested in coops, community organizing, cultural freedom and individual empowerment, so it's as much a social network about making social networks as it was when I joined only a few months ago.
     
     I would be there more if there were a mobile client. It's on the way. Also it's a mild annoyance that identity is tied to instance.
     
     As far as I'm concerned, the killer app is #gitssb. The most important thing to do about ssb right now would be to provide better public gitssb bridges.

     > Use Free and decentralized communication networks, like GNU social/StatusNet/Mastodon, Diaspora and Pump.io, or distributed, like Twister, instead of the centralized manipulators.
     
     This grouping works better in text than in speech, and also a year later it may be in need of an update. pump.io is on the one hand less (directly) relevant than ever, on the other hand it will soon be reunited with the Fediverse -- but it's not yet. StatusNet is not a thing, and wasn't really a year ago either -- a StatusNet node is just a neglected GNU Social node. And we have newcomers, both networks and network nodes. And then there's also (not really an update, just an omission) Hubzilla and Friendica.
     
     So I'm thinking something like:
     
     > Use Free and decentralized communication networks, like the Fediverse of GNU Social, Mastodon and Pleroma, or the Federation of diaspora* and Socialhome, or participate in both with Friendica or Hubzilla, or use a distributed network like Twister or Secure Scuttlebutt, instead of the centralized manipulators.
     
     It's a bit of a mouthful though. As much as I don't want to leave any of the options out, maybe I have to for the sake of delivery. For starters, even mmn himself recommends people to use Pleroma instead of GS these days.
     
     Maybe I can still feel good about myself if I cut it down but expand the list in the show notes. That would allow me to add PeerTube and other up-and-coming AP implementations, as well as all the various Masto frontends happening these days.
     
     > Use Free and decentralized communication networks, like the Fediverse of Mastodon and Pleroma, or the Federation of diaspora* and Socialhome, or use a distributed network like Twister or Secure Scuttlebutt, instead of the centralized manipulators.
     
     I think that's ok.
