#introduction I am a mathematician and cognitive scientist by training and troublemaker by inclination. I have been following the mastodon universe from the sidelines for a while now but a recent article made me create an account at one mastodon site which led to the next one and the next one and since then I have been following a trail of interesting sites and people.
As a complete n00b here, I am at your mercy. Tell me what I should know and who I should follow!
@arkayar Which article?
@StrikerD got it. Thanks for the tip.
@arkayar That's a great write-up.
Beware, though, there certainly is an outrage machine out there.
I at one point go into a back-and-forth that I disagree with today's pronoun shenanigans.
The machine found me, chewed me up, and spat me out.
Some instances, also, want to be their own echo-chamber, keeping out competing ideas.
Qoto.org is not one of those instances, it seems. I see a lot of good discourse.
