I hold the philosophical position that if two things are indistinguishable, their difference is irrelevant.

"What if we live in a simulation?" -- irrelevant
"What if you couldn't tell the difference between taking to a computer and a real person?" -- irrelevant

But more precisely, it's begging the question to say "imagine something was indistinguishable, now how would you treat it differently???"

A month ago I became #NewOnMastodon, still learning, but liking it more and more here.

As an #EarthSystem scientist I am fascinated about the #CarbonCycle, especially in the #ocean and how we quantify it with Earth System #models in past, present, and future climates.

#ClimateChange is essentially a #CO2 problem. It is virtually impossible to be a #ClimateScientist without becoming deeply concerned about #ClimateEmergency.

Watch this space for my extended #IntroductionPost.

I am with you @f3ttt , if I find a troll, I block it. I too have never been subject to big attacks but may be my use is very limited or use case is different from those who have faced such harrasment and there must be good reasons for such actions.

I believe some thing are best left to the choice of individuals who are using the medium. Another good server you can find where they allow good sense and good science to thrive is qoto.org tagging

@freemo

May want to try it out.

If you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between a seal and a sea lion then HAVE I GOT THE CHART FOR YOU.

I wanted an instance
- in #english
- with reasonable and #openMinded rule set
- #LGBTQ+ friendly (even if I am not, but most of my #friends are)
- that did not block other #instances, at most muted but open
- with open minded #admins
- with extended functionalities
- #STEM oriented

I ended up with #qoto, pretty happy about it!

Have also considered:
- #Japan, #Linux, #art, #3D, #vfx, #FOSS, #FLOSS, #blender oriented ones.

At #today, would also consider their aderation at the #UnitedFederationOfInstances ( #UFI )

I know for a fact that @freemo might want to participate in the #conversation @thibaultamartin @matrix

@freemo hey Some good news ! I’m seeing a lot of folks from my field joining qoto 😅👍🏻

@toplesstopics Hi, there is an initiative for a new server list underway and i see an issue with a proposed rule. The thing is that nudity and pornography are proposed to be treated the same, and that feels wrong.
I thought before i say something, you might be a lot more qualified to propose a better solution. I hope this is a reasonable request, if so please share your thoughts on this.

Easy to read pdf:
https://jeffreyfreeman.me/files/united_federation_of_instances_proposal.pdf
Please see chapter 3, rule 6 for what i mean.

Github repo:
https://gitlab.com/ufoi/constitution/-/blob/master/proposal.tex
(line 173 is what i mean, currently:
\item Nudity and pornography must be posted either unlisted, with a content warning, or both.)

Does Elon Musk have an account on Mastodon? I'd like to follow him.....
