meta social media 

It seems clear to me that one consequence of the shift from Twtr to Mastodon - for me - is that I will be spending less time on social media, but better.

Better in that there will be less anger, but also less triviality for the sake of being part or the viral, the moment.

IMO big unmoderaded servers, driven by big media companies, could be changemaker here.
But I'm sure it will be good for Mastodon's idea.

Hey guys. New here, I do work on the verge of social science and machine learning. Me and my team were thinking about scraping some Mastodon servers to analyze the progession from Twitter.
Can you recommend any nice python based Mastodon scrapers? I have seen the "official" api for managing the profiles, but didn't see anything to directly scrape the Toots.

My latest #ecoevo publication is an intro to the Extended Evolutionary Synthesis, commissioned by the John Templeton Foundation. It is a 60 pg document that lays out the assumptions of the #ModernSynthesis according to the #EES, the diverse origins of the EES in multiple disciplines, and the current status & objections to the #extendedsynthesis. A friendly & illustrated review for anyone interested in knowing what it's all about.
