When I first signed up at mastodon I had no idea what the different instances were, how I would choose one over another or what difference any of it made. When you signed up, which is closest to your experience of choosing a server/instance to use?

Seems as if people are coming here for different reasons. I want more friendly conversation even if I’m discussing politics. When people attack each other, it is completely unproductive, and alienating. I’m hoping we can avoid that mess.

Die U-S-A-Rufe nach der ersten Landung haben mich schon skeptisch gemacht.

Ich tue jetzt so, als würde mich Fußball interessieren. Dann wirkt mein Qatar-Boykott glaubhafter.

Selbst die Fans der DDR-Automobilindustrie setzen die Antriebswende um :-)

In next release, we planned to automatically put the visibility of replies to "Unlisted" instead of "Public" (other visibilities are not concerned).
It will be possible to turn off that feature in settings. #Fedilab

Manifest ist nach knapp 2 Folgen raus bei mir. Hab damals schon 3 Staffeln Heroes gesehen. Das reicht.

Welches zurechtgeschüttelte Szenario stellst du dir vor?

Morning folks, time for my first Mastodon thread (!)

Ahead of the #midterms tomorrow, I want to talk about the tragic politicisation of science in the US.

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when the Republicans became the anti-science party, but the process probably began in the 1980s, when the Christian right first emerged as a major force in conservative American politics.

Since then, the journey has been smooth and swift, and there is now a stunning partisan divide on confidence in science 😥
