Chromebooks foisted on students? Teachers monitoring what children do outside of the classroom via nonfree software? Surveillance of children is common, and it's at your child's school, too. Support #FreeSoftware https://u.fsf.org/32h

Great scientific discussion from UK's @davidlrobertson and @stuartjdneil explaining why all #SARS-CoV-2 evidence points to an ordinary #zoonotic explanation for its #origin.

Also, Scottish accent just has a certain flair when explaining #science 😂

Frankly I don't think we should care about brands in order to enable some arbitrary measure of "growth". I want this place to stay human-focused and empathetic, and allowing brands a space to advertise or the power to mold this place will take it in the wrong direction.

@plugusin observe your peers. Ask them to let you come to some of their classes. Take notes and ask questions after it.

#Mastodon features that #Twitter doesn’t have:

* Temporary muting (e.g. for a day)
* Self-verified URLs in the profile
* Hiding spoilers etc. via content warnings
* URLs must start with protocols (fewer false positives, e.g. in code).
* Everyone can edit posts (in v4+).
* No ads (which doesn’t come for free = donate if you can afford it)

More obscure: I like that you can search for post URLs to “transfer” them between accounts.

i am trying yoga course german (online) but don't understand anything lol

A rich guy with a bruised ego shouldn’t have the power to disrupt your life online. Building an interoperable social media could cut them out of the equation. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/fediverse-could-be-awesome-if-we-dont-screw-it

#Twitter is presented by an algorithm that is designed to keep you on the site. #Mastodon has no such algorithm. It's just the content you ask for, no more, no less.

This creates a whole different feel. It's subtle at first. 4/

Like many people, I'm new to mastodon

I'm a #Paris -based independent policy consultant & advisor on #China and its #decarbonisation

I also worked as an investigative journalist, covering China's environmental crisis in the early 2010s

I used to write long analytical threads on China's #energy and #climate policy on #Twitter

I guess from now on, I will also post here

For a brief introduction to China's #climate pledges, check out my #TED talk here: https://www.ted.com/talks/hongqiao_liu_can_china_achieve_its_ambitious_climate_pledges

See you around🙂

I want to start Canadian member-owned cooperative to run Mastodon servers in Canada.

Similar to social.coop but Canadian.

Just caught up with the latest episode of The Infinite Monkey Cage. Really interesting discussion on #Covid, and how we've all witnessed #science happening in real time throughout the pandemic. Well worth a listen.

Currently Masto.host is experiencing the highest volume of traffic that has ever reached the infrastructure.

The service is partially degraded and I will be doing fast upgrades on the platform.

These can lead to partial downtime, errors and large delays in support requests.

Really sorry. Doing the best I can on my end. Hope you understand. Thanks.

#Introduction: I'm a historian of gender, trauma, & medicine, specifically interested in the experiences of British & Irish women during the First World War. I teach Gender & Science at Pitt, and live for interdisciplinary conversations about how the history of science can improve research outcomes. Also a scholar of the horror genre. I live with a cat named Dr. Fintan & several garden gnomes, all of whom are cleverer than I am. #histodons #history #WW1 #academics #HistMed #Gender #Science
