@marshall strong win for empathy, but can it be had without understanding, first?

@ppmanik it's becoming the standard response of frustrated younger people to the mess left to them by older generations. Climate, instability, inflated cost of housing, tuition, shitty job opportunities for younger workers, etc. It's like "whatever", dismissive of an uncomprehending person.

We are getting asked about "verified accounts" quite often recently, so lets try to clear this up: There are no verified accounts on Mastodon like there are on Twitter. Some Mastodon instances have a custom emoji that looks like the verified icon on Twitter and people put that in their display name, probably because it looks fancy. It does not mean anything though.

One thing about mastodon that seems different to any other social media I’ve used is that we’re all a load of nerds saying “hey, here’s a thing I learned today and here are some resources so you can learn too”, (mostly) constructive discussion, and really long, in-depth threads about things you’ve never thought about before.

Mike's one piece of advice for new Mastodon users - dive into that Federated column and follow ANYONE and EVERYONE who looks like they've posted anything at all interesting to you. Just hammer the button. There's no penalty for mistakes. Go wild.

Later, when your Home timeline is buzzing, go in and unfollow people you decide you're not enjoying so much now.

Then do that again a few times. Then some more. Forever.

@kensanata@octodon.social nice photos, I visited earlier in the Spring and miss it. "old square with old buildings around" is where many University of Coimbra faculties are located.

Wonderful city, loved the student's attire.

Set on the Atlantic west coast just north of Cabo da Roca in #Portugal is the little gem of a beach called Praia da Ursa. The name of the beach comes from the "Rocha da Ursa" (bear rock) one of two huge sea stacks at the northern end of the beach.

Just found this on Spotify, seems a great idea. Headphones are a wonderful way to listen to music with high quality sound, as long as they are decent.

@_lunawinters do you have price variations depending on the season, time of the year? Here in Canada, we get a lot of produce trucked in long distance, usually from California. The famous 6000 Km salad. And these go up in winter, when there is no local source. I find official reported inflation rate does not reflect my sticker shock at the supermarkets produce section.

@freemo That's indeed interesting. A quarter of the Earth's diameter, but the volume is so drastically smaller. Noticed from the numbers that you can also infer conclusions about the Moon's inner structure - a lower average density compared to Earth's. No heavy iron inner core there, like Earth's, which gives us residual heat, magnetic field and more.

@_lunawinters yes, for sure. It's turning into a war theatre, with armies of ignorant trolls attacking and wearing out opposing people. Some of these have no qualms about decency, their aim is to harass opposing views. Very wearing to engage such folks.

Hello Mastodon! I co-wrote a short explainer for The Hindu about this platform, what instances are, how to communicate between instances, etc.

All this is based on my initial experience with the site, with references from a few guides. Do give it a read. Here's hoping that the anti-caste community gets a separate instance soon. Will help in any way possible to build a more inclusive, egalitarian atmosphere. Jai Bhim!

No matter which social network you're on, following a diverse group of people helps you taking a peek at the other side of your personal filter bubble.

You don't have to agree with everything and everyone, but please, at least try to listen to people and their opinions.

It will help you appreciate your own life, and may just make you a little wiser.
