It’s funny how different the mood is on the two apps.

Here, people are excited and curious, helping each other figure things out, making connections, offering advice, re-assembling communities & networks, and an overall optimism about non-corporate social media.

Back on birdapp, it’s a mix of gloom and doom combined with comments about how awful Mastodon is.

Maybe this will combust, implode, fail, and be forgotten. But I’m glad we’re here together, now. #TwitterMigration

@kawulf Yes, but also the star has no effect on the algorithm for promoting a toot (unlike the twitter heart). Boosting is the only input for the algorithm. Replies are not part of the Mastodon algorithm.

@elonmusk Twitter is a private company and First Amendment protections do not apply to it. The same goes for advertisers who vote with their money. In order to fix an issue, you need to understand its parameters. You clearly do not.

Hello good people - can we get a retoot or whatever so as to find the #geomorphology #cryosphere #glacier #geohazard and #satellite researchers? Let's build a community.

Dear #ScienceMastodon, you guys toot from around the world. Let me hear your opinion on this:

Imagine someone in her thirties. She has lived a chaotic life due to her ADHD she never knew she had. Finally she goes to university to graduate. She will be in her fourties when she's done. Her fellow students call her Ma'am.

Will she make it as a scientist?
Will science people laugh at her?
Would you?

Do you know scientist with a CV like mine? I'd love to know them.

One of the things I occasionally get paid to do by companies/execs is to tell them why everything seemed to SUDDENLY go wrong, and subs/readers dropped like a stone.

So, with everything going on at Twitter rn, time for a thread about the Trust Thermocline /1

@EubieDrew We on the left are always wringing our hands about being open minded and considering other points of view, but how do we deal with this ... is psychosis the right word? If it were just a few people, we could ignore them, but it's literally most of one of our two major parties, and therefore a good fraction of the country.

cw: good but scary article on QAnon

"When you peel away all the 'genuinely batshit crazy prophetic aspects,' LeCaque explained, QAnon at its core is a 'mass murder fantasy' about the coming 'storm' when all of the MAGA movement’s enemies will be arrested and lynched."

We’re on day 5 of recovery after the cyberattack that made us close observing operations at #ALMA… many thanks to all people at the observatory that left all their plans on a long weekend to help assess, contain, and now recover operations… bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu
