@blueberry all right. How about we keep each other updated on that little experiment and see how it goes. I mean what’s the worst that can happen. Except of course a huge anxiety attack
@jelonek lovely
#TwitterMigration Meta-fediverse
Reminder to #journalists that I built Storywrangler while I was #dataVisualization artist-in-residence at the University of Vermont's Computational Story Lab and it provides ngram timeseries from the #Twitter firehose (10% sample), more than 100bn tweets
Here's "mastodon" frequency this year 🤯 https://storywrangling.org/ngrams?ngrams=mastodon
Paper: https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/sciadv.abe6534
The call for PhDs is now open at the #EuropeanUniversityInstitute #EUI in Florence, Italy (4 yrs funding, exchanges, plus generous on-demand research & conference grants; I archived in 8 states). These funded PhDs (c.120 total) are across 4 departments #History (mine), #SocialScience & #PoliticalScience (SPS), #Law, & #Economics. I highly recommend applying &/or sharing! Happy to answer questions & advise.

(I took this in an off-site supervision)
to all the newbies her (me included) it's probably wise to #follow @QOTO for #announcements and #polls
Tip 1: Use hashtags. There's no algorithm to suggest followers or shove posts into your feed in the hopes you follow someone.
Tip 2: Boost (re-post) toots liberally. *You* are the algorithm.
Tip 3: Use CW (content warnings / content wrappers) to discuss politics, the meta.
Tip 4: To create "threads", make the first post public and each reply "unlisted" to prevent clogging up your instance's feed.
Tip 5: Provide text descriptions, even just basic ones, when attaching photos or media.
Tip 6: Use the "report" features for moderating trolls so your admins can take action.
Seriously though, fedi was *built* by furries, trans and queer folk, disabled neurodivergent people.
This is *the reason* the culture here is what it is. Why CWs are a thing. Why image descriptions are a thing. Why privacy matters here. Why moderation tools not only exist, but are usable — and used.
If you had joined and asked yourself "wow, how come this place is so chill and kinda… nice?" — that's thanks to all the nice people from communities some people call "weird".
So #KeepFediWeird.

@blueberry
I feel you. I always think about putting up a sign when I am in a coffee shop or restaurant that says: community table. Please join.
@amyimhoff1701 love everything about that #introduction
expletive
@Kye that is fucked up
@JoeMaristela thanks
@imabuddha here is a first recommendation
@JoeMaristela that sucks 😅 already working with 2-3 at any given time
@imabuddha I will let you know and #toot it loudly
Any suggestions for a good #mastodon #app for #mac ? Too many tabs already open. #TheStruggleIsReal
@neurofrontiers this sounds like it is something I was looking for without knowing it. #thankyou
@likask @szescstopni You make a good point. My hope is, that the whole structure itself will bring people (and I know it won’t ever be everyone) to see the value in owning parts of the internet and not only be end users but participants
@mzclergyletter @revjameshandley something for you?
I am a #feminist
I am a pessimistic optimist
I am NOT part of the #TwitterExodus #MastodonMigration
I very much enjoy #Cooking and #Reading.
I dabble in #GraphicDesign
I have a degree in #SocialScience
I am not an ‘either/or’ person, but an ‘and’: wine & beer, cats & dogs, movies & books ... You get the idea
