The twitter outages graph looks remarkably similar to the mastodon new user graph.... just saying ;)

It’s happening

Twitter right now feels like one of those apocalyptic TV shows where they speculate what would happen if human vanished. Like, how long would power plants keep operating? How long before feral dogs formed packs in the street? On what day would the first skyscraper collapse?

Friendly #Mastodon tip of the Day 2

Filters are your best friend. If you don’t want content about Elon Musk , go to Preference > Filters and make one for "Musk".

Or #Twitter. Or anything you don't want to see.

Those posts will be hidden, and filters can be time-limited. So if you just want to filter out football chat during the world cup, you can do that.

🔃Reblog and follow me for more daily tips.

For our 1 year anniversary virtual events, we'll have talks, panels and breakout discussions with attendees.

Why should we always clean up after harmful tech rather than implementing our imagination of a technological future that serves us?

We are looking for Group Leader (and Senior Group Leader) applicants for the 4DCP research area at Janelia Research Campus. For the GL positions, late-stage PhD students will also be considered. This is a great opportunity - I can answer questions here (or email me). Apply by November 22nd. More information is here: https://4dcpjanelia.org/

When I wrote this piece about the #twittermigration of #sciencetwitter last week, #Mastodon had gained 100,000 users since Musk’s purchase of Twitter.
When I updated it a few days ago, it was half a million.
Now, @Gargron just announced that there are 1 million more users.
The speed and scale of this is remarkable and I know that countless people worked hard to manage it. Thank you!

$15/hour min wage initiative passes in Nebraska, which is a pretty striking statement about the popularity of substantial min wage increases.
