Im not even going to mess with federated - Ill stick with local posters.
@freemo Thanks for the warm welcome Professor
@freemo Looking to avoid nonsense, and streamline to academia as much as possible.
@higharchmage Then you have certainly picked a great place to be. Though keep in mind there are also many great servers that fall under the STEM umbrella that might be worth interacting with from your account here. Or not, up to you :)
@higharchmage Glad to have you.
While the local users here are pretty awesome (though im a bit biased) I do recommend spreading out into the federated feed. There are many amazing users and servers across the fediverse as well.
