@labarba Didn't expect to see this song on Mastodon! I'm a and the original version of this song is what we do the Shim-Sham solo jazz routine to: youtube.com/watch?v=1SkoD2CIak

Sadly, Mastodon doesn't seem to have much of a community so I need to jump at jazz posts when I get the chance 😅

@samharrison7 The consensus in most of the academic community is that doesn't have a good enough on-boarding process and it leaves users feeling isolated on little islands. It would be a shame for and the potential future of if the opportunity is missed to get most scientists onto a free, open, federated platform, but alas I feel it is unlikely it will happen unless some serious changes are made.

I will epilog by saying I quite enjoy Mastodon, but that is only because a good chunk of the and community seem to have made it here, and I have put quite a bit of time into learning how it works.
