To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

More from Jaron Lanier
“Modern techies have revived a technocratic sensibility: a belief that great engineers can and should guide society. Whether that idea appeals or not, when technology degrades the minds of those same engineers, then the result can only be dysfunction.”

[Nicholas] Carr argues “As our window onto the world, & onto ourselves, a popular medium molds what we see & how we see it—eventually, if we use it enough, it changes who we are, as individuals” & collectively as a society.
“The effects of technology do not occur at the level of opinions or concepts,” wrote McLuhan. Rather they “alter patterns of perception steadily & without any resistance.”

“By exploring knowledge brokering as navigation of different knowledge production regimes – traditionally academic and policy-oriented – the paper contributes to the existing debates by providing insights into the nature of navigating science-policy interactions as a process of epistemological bricolage, requiring an assemblage of different meanings, values & practices “ @JustinaBandola ➡️ Minerva

Epistemic bubbles compared with epistemic bunkers by .

> In epistemic bubbles we exclude information simply as part of the normal ways we live our lives – we watch certain shows, we read certain newspapers, we speak to certain friends – and so we miss out on things just because we don’t come into contact with them. But, when we encounter new information, we still believe it. [....]

> The idea of epistemic bunkers stems from ideas in development studies on bunkerisation. In this context, it describes the creation of literal fortified and often militarized compounds for international aid workers to live in while working in hostile environments, such as war zones. They are intended to provide safety from attack, kidnapping, disease, and other ills. But they come with an epistemic cost. Bunkerised aid workers do not have much contact with local communities, making them less able to understand the context. This can be crippling to intervention efforts.

Reporting progress. I have @Mastodon up & running in android, ipad & PC, apps & Web. Interoperability works well 👍
@mstdn.social seems faster than the previous server 😀
My remaining concern is unintentional 'epistemic bunkering'

Birdsite refugees may have to learn protocols of symmetric follow of friends, or else they may get muted in Mastodon.

In 2008, the contrast with asymmetric follow was surfaced. wrote:

> Asymmetric follow is a hack in social software to enable ‘relationships’ to scale. It is broadcast, not conversation”

@timoreilly responded:

> Not so. I follow 400; am followed by 16,000. But I respond to lots of people (like you) who I didn’t know before. Not just broadcast.”

Donella Meadows, in Dancing with Systems:
2. Listen to the wisdom of the system.
"Aid and encourage the forces and structures that help the system run itself. Don’t be an unthinking intervener and destroy the system’s own self-maintenance capacities. Before you charge in to make things better, pay attention to the value of what’s already there"

🙏 all those who are following my mastodon account. I need to learn more about the platform’s potential & interoperability before being able to use it effectively.
I’ll continue posting (as usual) in Twitter until it becomes a liability.

I'm noticing a delay, @JimSpohrer , between updates from the mastodon.social instance and qoto.org , that isn't evident with toots from other instances. This may be attributable to the high volume of recent signups to the largest Mastodon instance.

This may be a case for migrating to a more focused community that isn't the largest. This may be Internet thinking in federation, as compared to mainframe thinking in centralization.

On the list of science-related sites at fediscience.org/server-list.ht , I would suggest qoto.org , @FrankSonntag .

This was the third Mastodon instance that I tried, and have been there since 2018. Moderators make a big difference! scholar.social/@daviding

I posted on Twitter my whereabouts on Mastodon. twitter.com/daviding/status/15

Choosing an instance can be a speed bump. Servers are decentralized, so moderators may choose to be more or less active.
