It makes me really happy to hear that. Me and many others here have committed a lot of effort to try to have a community mature enough to talk and not fight, to be respectful and decent without the need for much if any censorship (there is always the occasional bad actor, but its rare).

Myself and im sure my fellow long-time qoto members all appreciate very much hearing that you feel safe and at home here, and most important, you are happy to be here.

I too think this is really a good decent server; if you check the local timeline, you will discover nice folks around. The editor is well designed, and this server actually allows you to integrate other federated tools, that's fantastic. I also found nice uptime and so on.

Tonight I will be doing my first outdoor astronomy tour since before Covid.

I'm looking forward to it.
There are over 40 people coming!

Well just moved myself over to my own server (being overly caucious), was actually pretty easy but you do lose all your old toots and people you are following, your followers come with you

Afternoon London run...

The first mention of #Mastodon I’ve heard on #bbcnews - Is Evan on here?

Hullo. So this is Mastodon, eh? Well, I'm here. And to celebrate, here's a photo I took yesterday in Kingston NY of Good Omens director Douglas directing An Unnamed Actor (on the other side of the glass) in Episode 2 of Good Omens Season 2 (Coming Next Summer).

The [NYTimes published an article on which steel plants make the most pollution](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/09/climate/climate-change-emissions-satellites.html) and it looks like China is by far the worst. But this map doesn't tell the whole story. Who is buying and using that steel from China? If a substantial portion of that steel is sold to the west then that pollution should really be attributed to the client countries, not the manufacturing countries (or at least show both maps).

#Introduction I am a Professor of Physics at the University of Padua, where I also lead a lab on complex networks.

Here is my #introduction. I am a biologist interested in #neuroscience and the #evolution of cells and nervous systems. My research group studies #ciliated marine larvae from a whole-organism perspective, combining behaviour, #connectomics, #imaging, #CRISPR, #modelling and other approaches. We love marine #larvae, their #neurons, #cilia, and #neuropeptides.

Just arrived from Twitter and playing with my new Mastodon account. So far so good!

I little bit prouder today of my institution. MIT is hosting its own #mastodon server

mastodon.mit.edu

See you there soon

Very delicate and cautious and humble and melancholic text on what it means that thousands (millions?) of latecomers like me enter the #mastodon party now.

Is there a Patreon for my instance, Fediscience.org?

would like to support.

TIP OF THE DAY

If your instance server is having a hard time right now, don't freak out.

You do not need to change servers. Mastodon is getting a huge influx of new users and they are all working tirelessly to add capacity. If you are otherwise happy with your instance, trust that they will get things working smoothly. Give them some time to sort things out.

We're all in this together. It's our social network. Be patient. What we are building is amazing.

During COP27, we urge the Egyptian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release all those held simply for peacefully exercising their human rights, implementing criteria set by local NGOs for these releases: fairness, transparency, inclusiveness and urgency. One of these prisoners is Alaa Abd El-Fattah, who is now on a water strike since the beginning of COP27. (thread)

Awesome thing about working in #London : looking up! London is a city of trees and fascinating architecture. Lunchtime meetings in Westminster = an excuse to be a tourist in your home city. 🫶
