Stuff I don't get about #federation. I'm in the process of moving accounts, so I have two. Here's one of my posts with the visible replies, seen from the account that started the thread and from the other account on a different instance. How come I'm missing most of the conversation when looking at this from another instance? #confused

why call it bird site when ‘the fowl place’ is right there and a much better pun

Jeg vet ikke om total mangel på algoritmer er beste løsning, slik som det er på mastodon. Men når algoritmene til stadighet drar barn og folk for øvrig ned i usunne eller farlige ekkokamre, så er det bedre om de kuttes til man får kontroll på skadene. https://www.nrk.no/vestfoldogtelemark/tiktoks-algoritmer-drar-barn-inn-i-en-verden-av-ekstrem-trening-og-vektnedgang-1.16183933 #Norsktut #norsk

After @ElonMusk@twitter.com took over #Twitter there's never been, according to researchers, "such a sharp increase in hate speech, problematic content and formerly banned accounts in such a short period on a mainstream social media platform," reports @nytimes@twitter.com. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/02/technology/twitter-hate-speech.html?smid=tw-share

RT @DylanOgline@twitter.com
Just saw somebody try to argue that minimum wage isn't supposed to be a living wage. That their small business can't afford to pay a living wage.
If the only way your business can exist is the exploitation of labor (aka peoples actual lives), then your business should not exist.

🔖 Statistical code in a high-impact medical journal
A journal started asking authors to submit code with their manuscripts. They then analysed the next 314 papers accepted
87% denied using code, even when publishing substantial statistical analysis
10% used code but refused to share it with the journal
For the few that provided code, none scored even moderately on basic quality criteria

Looking at other people's Followers so often simply shows an empty result, even if a significant number was shown in the profile. What's the point of the profile Followers / Following in an app when it's always virtually empty?
"The first drug to slow the destruction of the brain in Alzheimer's has been heralded as momentous and historic.
The research breakthrough ends decades of failure and shows a new era of drugs to treat Alzheimer's - the most common form of dementia - is possible.
Yet the medicine, lecanemab, has only a small effect and its impact on people's daily lives is debated.
And the drug works in the early stages of the disease, so most would miss out without a revolution in spotting it."

Conservatives were furious when a baker had to bake a cake for a gay couple. But now they want to force Apple to host content it finds harmful and dangerous?
Make it make sense.

That’s right, it’s #SpaceTalkTuesday time! This week it’s all about ~exoplanetary habitability~
What does habitability really mean? Do we know of any habitable #exoplanets? How will we be able to study them now and in the future?
Follow along for answers to these #science questions and more!
(fair warning, this will be a long thread. the threaded posts are unlisted as a best practice, but you can still boost them)

All the different instruments have their own "unique" "issues" that we have to deal with, but that doesn't mean they're not useful! The entire reason my job exists is to learn how to get the most out of this data that we possibly can.
Different instruments/modes on JWST all have different specialities, generally being different colors of light or different resolutions

Where do I find the subscription functionality here on qoto.org? I’ve yet to find any other subscriptions I’ve read about domain and keyword subscriptions on “About this server”, and I’m interested in both.
Domain Subscriptions - Bring another instance’s local timeline as a feed in Qoto, no need to have an account on another server again, just import their timeline here!
Keyword Subscriptions - Create custom timelines based off keywords not just hashtags, you can even use regex for advanced matching

I do not like that site of birds
I do not like its awful words
I do not like what it became
I do not like its cult of shame
I do not like intrusive ads
I do not like the vapid fads
I do not like the clout it’s given
I do not like its algorithm
But I shall miss that weird bird town
I do not like it burning down
Hmm, qoto.org is running mastodon v3.2.1. Hasn't it been upgraded after October 2020? It's good to see that earlier releases are stable, but surely there have been some security fixes in addition to new functionality and other bug fixes? https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v3.2.1
