@zleap yup - frankly, I'm appalled that no one in Aotearoa NZ's gov't even investigated using locally hosted BBB for schools and businesses during lockdown rather than paying through the nose (with $ & privacy) for Zoom. The NZOSS actually have a companion BBB service to this Mastodon, hosted here in NZ, available gratis to local businesses/education since the first Covid lockdown. It's a no-brainer.

I wrote a simple guide to the very basics of Mastodon — feel free to send to any newbies who are thinking of coming on board: clivethompson.medium.com/come-

Other fun recovery activity: built a custom Lego train based on the Rhätische Bahn railcars of the Bernina line 🥰 used to ride these as a toddler when we would visit the Swiss family

@adamdavidson @mogul @jeffjarvis @tchambers @Danhon@mastodon.cloud @jayrosen_nyu I should say that unions and other institutions should be creating instances, too. The NUJ in the UK, for example.

Hey all! New to #Mastodon!

My name is Arthur Lorenz and I am an illustrator and concept artist from Germany. Looking forward to this new #art community!

I'll share fanart as well as personal art here of various projects I came up with.

I am now on the job hunt and want to tackle the game industry!

I love Mastodon because it reminds me of when the internet was weird and fun.

Me, a #Mastodon newcomer: "I'd better not follow too many people until I get the hang of this"

You, driving by my feed: #introductions I like #Linux and #FOSS and #Coffee and #Coding and #ElectronicMusic and #Science and #Socialism and #Cats and #Games and #AllTheThingsYouLike and damn I'm hitting that Follow button again.

Woah - German government has got its own Mastodon instance and most of the ministries and many agencies already have accounts.
Verification problem at least partially solved - just need to check the domain is right!
I've also seen newspapers like theatlantic.com set up instances themselves. Looks like verification will be worked out sooner or later.

Been here for over an hour now and I haven't seen a single argument take place yet. This place is freaking me out a bit

Why is Mastodon, a free platform run by volunteers that I didn't even know existed last week and has experienced explosive growth in a few days, slow?

Ok folks who are some of your favorite people who have been on here for a while tooting about technology and online culture? Looking for smart people to follow and would love recs!

My #introduction - I am an immigrant #scientist supporting professional development of graduate students and postdocs for academic thriving & diverse career goals, and broadly think about Grad Ed reforms. Prior to this life, was RNA biologist.

Hope to build (and learn from) a vibrant and supportive #academicMastodon #scimastodon community, similar to one I found on #AcademicTwitter #ScienceTwitter .
