I do like it here on Mastodon, but the huge influx of people from Twitter means there are far fewer image descriptions than from even a couple of weeks ago. I’d love to tell every one of them about this, but quite frankly there are so many I don’t have the patience. I’d dearly love it if apps could block posts unless an image description was added to every photo, but I suppose that’s too much to hope for. I’m feeling really excluded from so many conversations. It’s getting as bad as Twitter.

Again, a quick and dirty analysis, but if I have no bugs then the 1% largest #Mastodon instances accounts for 84% of all users.

The top 5% accounts for 97% of all users.

We can say that the system is effectively centralizing around a few instances, and this might be a problem for the overall stability and sustainability.

#MastoStat #ComplexSystems

Good day everyone. #introduction
I’m a planetary scientist studying the origin and evolution of atmospheres and the volatiles on the #Moon. I joined the #twittermigration this weekend. I hope to reconnect with old friends and find new here

Belated #introduction!

I've worked on engine technology at Roblox for over a decade, most recently, Luau (https://luau-lang.org).

I'm also developing various open source libraries and tools (https://github.com/zeux): notably, pugixml, meshoptimizer, gltfpack, volk, qgrep.

You may have also seen my Vulkan videos, in particular the niagara tutorial series. It's currently on hiatus but may get a few more videos in the future.

Currently on a 3mo sabbatical and exploring the post-twitter world.

I'm a solo game developer and Flutter engineer.

Last year I released Knights of San Francisco_ a weird text game that made it to the "Best of 2021" lists at TouchArcade, Android Authority and Google Play.

I'm working on a roguelike-strategy hybrid in which you’re a giant battle robot and you see everything like a robot in sci-fi movies would.

I'm based in Prague, I read a lot, and you may remember me from my time at Google.

Hi it's my first post on Astrodon. I'm a 1st year #phd student in Laboratory of #Astrophysics in Marseille on Jovian #radio emissions with the #Juno spacecraft #plasma.
So I was a quiet user in Twitter and mostly looked #cats gifs, #french news, #comics or #anime stuff but I might post some science related stuff there this time (or maybe I'll change server to just boost some cat #memes)

I'm overdue for a proper #introduction! Hi :) I'm a 31 y.o. French gamedev in Amsterdam (pronouns: she/her).

I'm a Senior Conversations Designer at Guerrilla (think technical designer on cinematics), where I've worked 4 years on #HorizonForbiddenWest . Before that I worked at Ubisoft Paris & Milan 4 years, as project coordinator on Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle & it's DLC.

I'm invested in feminism, leftist activism in general & diversity in tech. Trans & SW-friendly account.

Hello! Now that I've been lurking for a few days it's probably about time for an #introduction .

Looking forward to meeting new people and finding old friends here. I try to keep a good work-life balance. Into most types of fiber arts (knitting, crochet, cross-stitch) and one of these days I will learn Python and to play the bass. 🎸

This year I took the leap into #AppSec from a more general #infosec background. I'm #AlwaysLearning what I can. ​

My posts will be a mix of a lot of things, and so far I'm managing a couple of different accounts on different servers. Maybe one day I'll pick one!

Here’s my #introduction. In my professional life as an #astronomer and #ResearchSoftwareEngineer I work on novel instrumentation for #astronomy, including imaging #stars using #opticalinterferometry, and #exoplanet discovery. My research involves coding in #C and #python. My favourite text editor is #emacs. In my spare time I enjoy #reading, #cooking and #cricket.

I am a software developer who started out programming in 1976, in BASIC on a Data General Nova 1200, using an ASR-33 teletype connected with a 110 baud dial-up modem with acoustic coupler.
Nowadays, I do Groovy and Java, and Linux DevOps.
In my spare time, I do retro-computing! Growing up using ZX81, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC464, my CPU heart belongs to Zilog Z80. My interests have since expanded into the 6502, 68K and the PDP-8 (using the PiDP-8 emulator).

I love the addition of being able to follow hashtags. I've added so many hashtags to follow now that my Home is starting to feel populated by good brain food.

Just a few ideas...

Hello everybody!
