Friendly #Mastodon Tip of the Day 8

There are third-party tools to find the Mastodon accounts of people you followed on #Twitter :

Twitodon
https://twitodon.com
FediFinder https://fedifinder.glitch.me 
DeBirdify https://pruvisto.org/debirdify/

Each site will search through your lists of Twitter accounts looking for Mastodon account information (if available), and produce a downloadable .csv list.

With that list you can follow everyone here.

Follow and 🔁 repost for daily tips.

Friendly #Mastodon Tip of the Day 3

Filling in the text description for pics posted is really appreciated.

There’s a big community of visually impaired people here and doing it means they’re not excluded. (shame on you #Twitter )

If you’re on your phone, tap on the pic and start typing. On desktop you’re given a prompt.

It’s easy, fun to do, helps the community and increases your following.

🔃Reblog and follow me for more daily tips.

Friendly #Mastodon tip of the day:

🔃If you want people to see a post, you have to reblog it.

❤️Giving a favourite is only a personal appreciation but it is not as strong as the reblog.

💡This is a fix and major improvement to #Twitter, which uses likes as measurement to push the posts in people’s feeds.

🤝Follow me if you like these little tips. More will come.

Friendly Mastodon Tip of the Day 7

You can always check other Mastodon “planets” (servers/instances).

You have subjects you are interested in. They might be discussed on other servers or servers dedicated to those particular subjects.

Remember: you can also change servers and you will keep your followers.

Follow and 🔁 repost for daily tips.

Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.

On Twitter, some people are warning that Mastodon server/instance admins can read your DMs. As if this would somehow be worse than Musk and Zuckerberg reading your messages.

More importantly: if Twitter & Facebook have taught us anything, it's that you shouldn't use a *public* social media platform for exchanging *private* messages.

That's what Signal is for.

Kia ora. A short #introduction to myself. I'm a volcano-seismologist at Te Pū Ao | GNS Science, currently based in Taupō. I'm keen to understand volcanic activity in Aotearoa and beyond using #seismology and #acoustics.

Curious about real archaeological evidence we have for Ice Age civilization?

Check out my video, "The Landscape of Early Greece" which discusses how Stone Age humans in the area of modern Greece adapted to climate change at the end of the Ice Age

My most well known photo from the field, and well timed being very nearly the anniversary of the 2016 Kaikoura Earthquake sequence. This is the "Wall of Waiau" on the Leader fault. This scarp is actually a bit of a quirk of nature, no prior rupture here and effective localised normal movement due to topography on an oblique thrust and right lateral fault.

I am considering adding the following phrasing to QOTO's ToC.. Before I do I'd like some feedback from the community

> While QOTO aims to provide a community where our users do not fear being punished for their personal opinions, that does not mean we allow people to disseminate ideologies that are abusive or violent towards others. Demonstrating support for or defending ideologies known to be violent or hateful is a bannable offense. This includes, but is not limited to: racial supremacy, anti-LGBTQ or anti-cis-gender/anti-straight, pro-genocide, child abuse or child pornography, etc. While we allow questions and conversation regarding these topics in general, doing so in bad faith will result in immediate expulsion.

Evolution doesn’t look how it’s depicted in pop culture. We often picture the famous “March of Progress” illustration where a series of apes stand in line leading to a modern human.

But evolution is not linear. It branches and branches. Divides in some places and recombines in others. #science

Do not waste your time on people who are talking about compassion, but when it is needed from them just laugh in your face making comfy excuses why you doesn't deserve it.
You're making much more for this world and this network than they.

For any followers who are interested in following the latest #earthquakes, the #USGS have an absolutely fantastic service where you can see all the latest events on a world map (red within the last hour, orange if older) with circle sized according to magnitude. It is a life-long habit if you first get into following it!

On a clear night in Kinlochleven in November, the Milky Way is visible down the loch. This shot took several attempts as the high road to the village runs to the left of this image. A 30 second exposure meant it took a bit of good timing to avoid light trails from the few cars which did venture down that night. This image was taken next to the slipway area in Kinlochleven.
