@Britt

This is a fantastic idea. I am planning to put up slide decks of my talks here, (well actually on pixelfed, but it's all the same). One other thing, when you link your profile make sure you put the `@` sign before your handle, so in the poster it should be @Britt ... and so on.


@herid qoto.org has some extra features over the base server code, this is one of them. See qoto.org/about/more under Unique Features

@kylereddoch

You have a fantastic blog there.
I may not have understood your use case, so please bear with me, 🙂 just trying to help.

I do not use that much, so cannot say. But it seems you can push directly from your blog to here and people can read them alright, by creating a bot account and connecting your RSS feeds to the bot account.

If that is something that might work for you, here is a tutorial,

## বাংলায় ম্যাসটোডন

বাংলা ভাষায় দিব্য ম্যাসটোডন করা যায় |
যাঁরা সদ্য টুইটার থেকে এসেছেন, স্বাগতম।
কতগুলো কাজ সেরে ফেলুন চটপট।
১) নিজের Profile লিখে ফেলুন, বিশেষ করে কি করেন, কিসে উৎসাহ, ইত্যাদি। এতে করে যারা আপনাকে ফলো করতে চায়, সহজ হবে
২) যতজন কে পারবেন ফলো করুন, এখানে ফলো করার কোন বিধিনিষেধ নেই
৩) প্রতিটি পোস্টের তলায় 'তারা' চিহ্ন দেওয়া, পোস্ট ভাল লাগলে জানিয়ে দিন | এতে করে আপনার ফলোয়াররা কিছু জানতে পারবে না বটে, কিন্তু পোস্ট ভাল লাগার আদি অকৃত্রিম ব্যাপারটা থাকে, যিনি পোস্ট করেছেন তিনি জানতে পারবেন।
৪) এখানে পোস্ট করাকে টুট বলে, আপনি কারো পোস্ট ভাল লাগলে রিটুট করুন,
৫) যদি মনে হয় তার সঙ্গে নিজের কথা জুড়ে দেবেন (quote tweet টাইপের ব্যাপার), এখানে হবে না, তবে টুটের উত্তর দিলে আপনার ফলোয়ারদের কাছে পৌঁছে যাবে
৬) এটা যেহেতু ফেডিভারসের অংশ, আপনি সব কিছু একসঙ্গে দেখতে পাবেন, ক্রমশ প্রকাশ্য
৭) প্রচুর হ্যাশট্যাগ দিন, তাতে করে আপনার লেখা নানান জায়গায় ছড়িয়ে যাবে
৮) আপনি ৫০০ ক্যারেকটার লিমিট পাবেন (কোথাও কোথাও ৬৫ হাজার অবধি পাওয়া যায়)
ছবি আপলোড করুন, সকলকে বলুন, ম্যাসটোডন তো বটেই, আরো অনেক এরকম অ্যাপ রয়েছে।
শুরু করে দিন!😃

... and corporate instances with membership models. So long was kind of flying under the radar for most people, so we haven't seen newspapers, and others setting up shop, er ..., instances. No university instances, no one really took them seriously.

Absolutely worth learning! is fast, and great language, particularly if you are in data science, and machine learning.

Just in the event you thought Twitter was the only shit show in town. WSJ reports Facebook is about to let go thousands.

The Era of Social Media goes out not with a bang, but thousands of people losing their livelihoods as their billionaire owners continue to make the world their own playground.

I feel like I should bring over my most impactful recent tweet, especially as I am about to set up the next #Pizza Solves Everything at The Roslin Institute #AcademicMastodon #AcademicChatter #AcademicToots

Recently I convinced the institute to let me buy pizza for the campus once a month, not as a morale boosting strategy, but as bait.

A few weeks ago with the postdoc committee, I hosted the first Pizza Solves Everything event.

Two very useful tools that search your Twitter followers/followed for people who put their Mastodon account handles into their Twitter profile info, both created by people I trust:

"Covid-19 is a leading cause of death in children and young people ages 0-19 years in the United States"

This is where “let it rip” policies in schools have led us to. How is any of this ok?!

“Immunity debt” & “masks” DID NOT cause this. This was caused by #POTUS failing to follow science & #CDC being politicized. #Walenski failed to inform public accurately. Instead schools been allowed to become infection hotspots then carried home.

#mask #BringBackMasks #Covid

Read about the young (29) founder of Mastodon, why he created it, and the surprisingly effective way it isolates hate groups.

Discuss journal articles and papers on fediverse 

## Tools for academic discussions in fediverse

is one app within the ecosystem, and various apps can be used for different purposes. I maintain a small group within the @papers_blogs where I post journal articles.

If you follow

@papers_blogs

ou can get the papers posted to the instance and then we can discuss them here or on that site. It also helps to keep the steady flow of research papers and blogs to one place for discussion and you can access it from here.

Try it?

@mariawimber

That's fantastic Maria. Our understanding is limited as well, and we just got started. It is an exciting area of work and we are studying what happens to people when they are opened up to states such as meditation or take a walk in a beautiful setting.

Mastodon trolls 

Starting to see trolls on here in the last few days. I learned long ago on twitter that you don't engage them in any way. Block them immediately, without a second thought. If they're using racist/sexist/etc language, report them. Oh, and the ability to block an entire server in one click is amazing (last option on the three dots button by the troll's name). I've already blocked one server with an obviously trollish name. (PS my first cw post. Seems like a great feature!)

@ambihelical @trinsec @freemo

Also, not all features seem to work, eg, code blocks do not work on the textboxes. This is OK, but if they did, this would stand out. I really like the idea of qoto.org.
Given the character count and the richness of connected apps, it'd be nice to give it a shot if a long form article can be posted here and then we get responses from the community. Kind of preprint posted directly on
🙂
