Also, here's some useful fedi info, #Feditip
Swap https://nitter.net/ for twitter.com and you can get the basic same content! So if you really really want to embed something interesting, you can do it!

e.g. that MosquitoCapital twitter thread.

https://nitter.net/MosquitoCapital/status/1593541177965678592

Also an easier way to read Twitter content without it forcing you to login, etc.

Your local server admin appreciates when you setup Automatic Post Deletion in your account settings to save on storage space. One of the options in the settings is to preserve posts that you favorite. So while it might be a bit embarrassing on the #birdsite to be Liking your own tweets it seems quite useful to fav your own toots that you want to save from auto-delete on #mastodon

Shortcut: your.instance/statuses_cleanup

#MastoAdmin #FediTips

I'm truly pained for the countless small businesses, authors/speakers, & free lancers who rely on Twitter to market their products or service. Twitter's death will devastate incomes for too many people to count.

All for the whims of a maniacal elitist. smh terrible.
#RipTwitter

It might be a good time to run #Debirdify or #Fedifinder one last time to find all the folks you were following or followed by on #Twitter who are now here on #Mastodon.

✅ Twitodon: https://twitodon.com

#RIPTwitter #TwitterMigration

Yesterdays's *daily* migration to Mastodon was a record.

The picture doesn't capture fully what happened in the 24 hour period after Musk's 'hardcore' deadline. In that particular 24hour period there were 240 thousand registrations!

A few weeks ago, back in October and prior to Musk being in charge of Twitter, there were only a few thousand daily registrations to Mastodon.

Hey folks! If you know someone currently waiting for approval to PeopleMaking.Games, we’re getting applications a bit faster than we can process them. Please let them know we appreciate their patience, and will continue to work through them throughout the weekend. We are temporarily pausing new application till we work through this group.

I don't want to just be posting about numbers like a clock, but the 2 million mark of monthly active users across the network is a pretty big deal. This is going big numbers! Shout out to all the server operators who are absorbing this wave.

Can you use #ContentWarnings when you boost someone’s toot that doesn’t have one and if not, is there a way around this?

I’m feeling really concerned about doing the right thing here on Mastodon because I’ve seen people argue for and against content warnings.

In particular, I’d like to know the opinion of those to who it most affects. Does anyone from #BlackMastodon #Indigenous #Aboriginal #Trans #Disabled #MultipleIntersections have opinions on this.

Mistodon: these spooky characters -- a #Frankenstein-ian mad scientist and His Monster (plus a few friends) -- were drawn in #ANSIart by Batfeula and Polyducks for the latest Textmode Friends jam, included in last month's spooky MIST1022 artpack collection.

"digital news consists of two ecosystems. The study found that the two ecosystems, while separate, do not fall neatly along right-left partisan lines.

Instead, the scholars found a divide between “the right and the rest”: an asymmetrically polarized mediascape with a discrete right-wing ecosystem that operates in a fundamentally different way from the rest of U.S. media."

Hello, world!

New server so now seems like a good time for introductions. After 14.5 years on that other site, it feels odd to start over.

I lead technical teams by day, I read transit reports by night, and I curl on the weekends.

I’m a #computers #transit #elections #publichealth nerd, an amateur contributor to #curling #cycling #politics #cities #urbanism #sustainability, and a #science #data #democracy #lgbtq #gaydad #publictransit #equity advocate.

Anti-fascist, anti-racist, feminist. He/him

Hi!

If you want to see Mastodon at its best, strongly recommend these options:

Android - Use apps Tusky or Fedilab

iPhone/iPad - Use apps Metatext or Toot!

💻 Computers - Log in through your server's website

Mastodon was designed for websites and third party apps. These are *still* the best ways to use Mastodon!

(Official app exists because new people were only looking for an official app in app stores, and giving up when they didn't find one. You don't need to use it!)

For all of you who are curious about how language and social norms evolve on the internet with different contexts and different technology substrates, I want to recommend @gretchenmcc 's Because, Internet.

This book has done so much to help me understand how language use on the internet is both important and ever evolving. And to be aware about how my language is perceived across different groups. And it's just a really fun book on top of that!

#Introduction. I'm a theoretical neuroscientist at U Mainz Medical Center and co-affiliated with U Bonn Medical center. Primary focus on cortical circuits, their network activity, synaptic plasticity and protein dynamics in dendrites. Broadly interested how circuits learn e.g. neuro/AI interface and want to understand how neural networks compute, both algorithmically and intracellularly. Occational posts about societal and academic issues.

Also, I'm sorry if you followed me there and suddenly aren't following me anymore/if I was following you but aren't following me anymore. Migrating from one instance to another seems to have cleared my follows.
