@morne You cant just join any instance though! Are you a STEM professional?

@freemo I fear I am so behind onthis tech that I dont even know what a STEM prefessional is. I just (greenly) started looking at alternatives to the malicious current social media like facebook and thesorts.

@morne Than I am sorry to tell you that you are in the wrong place.

STEM stands for "Science Technology Engineering and Math"... in short, as a server you are only allowed here if you are a scientist or one of the related categories I just mentioned.

He could be in the "yearning to learn" category. But you're probably right he should find another instance. He is looking for a Twitter alternative.

So, your site could be interesting for me, not doing a STEM job, but holding a STEM-degree...
It's not what I'm looking for on the Fediverse at the moment, but I'll keep it in mind if I start engineering 🙂

Sure, our doors are always open.

FYI we dont restrict the topics you can talk about, but naturally a lot of people do talk science. We only require you be in STEM in some way.

So, almost the whole Fediverse in welcome...
Or does that tell you something about the people I'm following?

@frank87

There is certainly a large population on the fediverse that would qualify.. but simply using a computer isnt going to cut it either :)
