We're all gonna need this sooner than expected so here is my proposed APA 7 style citation format for citing a Mastodon post

Lastname, F.M. [@mastodon@handle.tld] (20XX, Month DD). Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut ... [Mastodon post]. Name of instance. [URL of post]

As with the format for citing a Twitter post, the correct reference list title is the first 20 words of the post, and the correct short title is the first 5, both using an ellipsis if necessary.

existing as a slavic queer on birdsite be like:
>reply to a post outside your circle
>"""discourse""" on gendered verb conjugations starts
>"I don't know if [the word "had" conjugated with neutral pronouns] is in polish"
>"this form doesn't exist same as your 'non-binary'" [shows screenshot with conjugations which include the neutral one for 3rd person 🤷]
>
>
>
>dear reader, the neutral conjugation in 1st person can be found in textbooks for polish from 1796 and 1824 next to female and male, in texts by very well-known writers such as Adam fucking Mickiewicz (1840 - yes, 1st person) or Stanisław Lem (1976 - yes, also 1st person), or even a fucking Christmas carol (this one 3rd person only; because people used to refer by them to kids more often)

I've been using #AnnotatedEquations in my recent papers. I think it really adds to the readability and understanding of the math.

Here are some examples. It uses #tikz in #latex.

Let me know if you like it. Happy for any feedback.

I'm pretty sure the story of Albert Einstein having bad grades in school is false. The good thing is that we can still tell the inspirational story of Alan Turing, whose report card once read: "I can forgive his writing, though it is the worst I have ever seen, and I try to view tolerantly his unswerving inexactitude and slipshod, dirty, work, inconsistent though such inexactitude is in a utilitarian; but I cannot forgive the stupidity of his attitude towards sane discussion on the New Testament." (Source: turing.org.uk/scrapbook/early.)

picking a mastodon server to join is easy -- just think of it like you're allying with one of many families in a war-torn medieval land, each with their own histories, feuds, laws, blood rituals

A student of mine is going to speak about the history of the Axiom of choice at a seminar. She's got all the facts, but she asked me if I knew any juicy gossip about the Axiom of choice. I have to admit I don't, but perhaps Mathstodon can fulfill its purpose. #axiom #choice

I keep seeing lots of long-time #fediverse users saying 'don't favourite posts it does nothing' but actually when you favourite my posts it makes me smile and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

transmisia, chasers, no actual advice just musings, possibly misunderstanding the problem 

@moonbolt I'm wondering how much you really have to worry about that. If I understand what the problem with chasers is (and I very well might not) recognizing them shouldn't usually be an issue. If you are trying for a long-term relationship you'll figure out that they see you one-dimensionally, as whatever feature of you they are chasing, rather than as a fully fledged person (or more :>) pretty quickly, no? And if it's something less serious... it might not matter as much?

But I am not the target of any chasers afaik, so I might terribly misunderstand the problem. If you are up for that I would be curious to hear what the actual shape of the issue is. If we get lucky trying to write this down might also help you figure out a solution, as most problems contain their solutions if sufficiently carefully stated. ;p

@theodote Huh, that's a cute game, haven't heard about it before. Although it's single-player and we are trying to have a family game night, so it doesn't quite fit. Anyway, thanks for the recommendation, we will possibly check it out at some point anyway!

Apparently Skullgirls is a very enjoyable game for a 4 and 6 yo, who would have thought?

@AubreyDeLosDestinos Zapewne połączenie "nie widziałem homofobii" z przyznaniem że czytał post Sośnierza. Stwierdzanie że tamten post nie jest homofobiczny samo w sobie jest homofobiczne. Choć czy @mrk faktycznie miał na myśli to pierwsze to całkiem jednoznacznie z postu nie wynika.

100 Mastodon myths:

1. Mastodon is hard.

FALSE. It’s a "soft"ware. Not hardware.

2. You have to use Linux to post on Mastodon.

FALSE. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are also supported.

3. You need to learn to use the Vim editor before posting on Mastodon.

FALSE. There’s also an emacs plugin.

4. Mastodon is only for computer nerds.

FALSE. As you can see, we sometimes try to make jokes that everyone could understand.
