People that are on #Mastodon since a few days because of Musk and his antics, writing long essays on how Mastodon is better or worse - don't. Please don't. Your first impression mixed with your hopes and fears are not the objective view you think it is. Give it some time.

So here's what I've learned.
Mastodon isn't Twitter.
And that's by design.
You've grown used to things designed to give you that anger rush.
Mastodon is very deliberately built to avoid that.
The temptation is to replicate your Twitter experience.
Picking arguments, amplifying trolls.
Please don't.
This isn't your house, people here put time into building it.
Content warnings, ALT tags.
Don't turn it into a replica of the mess you just left.
If you miss the fights, the birdsite is still there.
Hello everyone! Here's my #introduction! I am a senior lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, mostly teaching biomedical #ImageAnalysis and #DataScience ( #machinelearning #statistics and all that jazz) using #rstats and #python. My research interests revolve around #neuroendocrinology that is, understanding how your brain controls the production of hormones in your body. I am particularly interested in the role of #heterogeneity of cells in the #pituitary gland and how that contributes to generating the right pattern of hormones at the right time!
