Twitter was never a positive "public square". For any of us. The last thing we should do is treat the #Fediverse as a Twitter 2.0.

We had to deal with violent neo-Nazi radicals there.

They endangered our children.
They publicized our home addresses.
They threw swarms of racist trolls into our replies.

We need to defend our community.
We need to encourage moderation and constant vigilance.
The only place that is truly safe is the place we make safe through effort.

We safeguard ourselves.

The Jews are tired. Please leave us alone. We just want to fight about #Jewish food takes and make fun of questionable #Hanukkah merchandising.

Since Mastodon is the elephant app, that makes all other social networks irrelephant.

one of my students wrote a literature review on PCOS in transgender men and the NUMBER of the researchers who were like “uh, yeah, sorry, we can’t compare this to anything because no one really bothers to study this in cis women” 🙃

#COVID19 cases in LA County have nearly tripled over the last month.

If hospital indicators stay high for two weeks in a row, ⁦@lapublichealth⁩ says “another indoor mask mandate is on the table,” reports ⁦@JackieFortier⁩: https://laist.com/news/health/covid-is-sending-again-more-angelenos-to-already-stressed-hospitals

I can’t get over people saying “labor can’t do that, it’s illegal”

Please learn something about the history of organized labor. Steelworkers at the homestead strike had a fucking cannon, they literally shelled Pinkertons

It occurs to me that boosting is probably much more crucial in the Fediverse than on Twitter, because there's no algorithm to surface things you might like.

Today we should also remember those who fought to get medicine for their love ones. At a time when nobody cared about the gays.

In the process of migrating from @BarboftheBay to @barbara

Since transitioning to Mastodon from birdsite, I've had a positive experience connecting with Mastonauts.

I'm not clear how or if my 907 Follows and 630 Followers will merge over.

Currently under construction and very much looking forward to my new instance here @qoto.org

(Friends: My reach on Mastodon is very limited. Please boost this if you think one of your followers may be able to help me.)

C'mon, #quantumphysics #quantum #quantummechanics peeps. QUTO only works if you share what you know. please help me out here!

How can one efficiently normalize a multi-fermion wave function composed of a determinant of single particle orbitals which are not orthogonal to each other?

TW! I am an old pacifist and what follows is pacifist in content. You have been warned.

I'm reading "The Machiavellians" by James Burnham. It's dated, but still relevant. At the beginning he uses a historical example to make his point (which is what Machiavelli did in his work "The Prince.") Burnham's point is that politics is about the struggle for power and that a powerful tool for the rulers is the public lie that the slaves believe, that leads them to participate in their own exploitation. I am reminded of how strange it always seems to me that soldiers and their families parrot the idea that somehow being a soldier and fighting for your country is noble, selfless and right. When, clearly, if ordinary people, all of them, simply refused to participate in war, wars wouldn't happen. You know, the question asked in the 1960s and 1970s -- what if they gave a war and nobody came? Anyway, I'm enjoying the book. I found "The Prince" really interesting, too, when I read it. It isn't at all what I thought it was. It's a clear analysis, with the emotional content removed, of historical examples of how people obtained and kept power.

Anyone out there successfully used #LWC to override embedded chat pre chat form? SF has a nice code sample to do this, but it has an uncaufht js error when the user clicks to start the chat.
