To the newcomers to Mastodon and the Fediverse:
When you ask to follow someone that doesn't accept followers automatically, please have your profile filled out and some posts in your feed by you. I'm not going to follow anyone that hasn't taken the time to get their feet wet and write some posts, so I can know what you're about.
#DogsOfMastodon this is my little rescue dog, Folly. She likes to help me work and sees herself as a future bioinformatician 🤔🐶
Now that I have the opportunity, let me #introduce our quality-diversity #compchem algorithm to Mastadon. It's based on @janhjensen 's generative algorithm. We avoid stagnation issues, and illuminates opportunities across chemical space, and outperforms #deeplearning approaches!

Not sure if there are any #TB folk here yet but if so "hi"👋 Looking for #TB, #Globalhealth accounts to follow/like or whatever the term is here! Please share recommendations
Holy hell the twitter exodus is **still** accelerating. The influx of new users is up about 33% from yesterday, our biggest day so far. We are now seeing over 1,300 new users every day on QOTO!
@gaymanifold wait are you seeing the avrxiv posts int he main feed without following too? It is supposed to be silenced.
@whynot I saw your report about the bot showing in your feed. That should **not** be the case. The bot is silenced by default and can only be seen if you subscribe or follow it. Is it possible you subscribed?
The nice thing about Twitter self immolating is that folks who would otherwise never even look at alternative platforms seem to be kicking the tires and trying to make things work on other sites. Really helps with the chicken/egg issue. If Twitter -> Mastodon works, no reason to think there isn’t hope for Facebook -> Diaspora (or similar). At that point, only thing left to do would be to make friends to connect with. Exciting days ahead!

@freemo I opened ticket behind qoto.org to remove it from blacklist at https://github.com/hachyderm/hack/issues/8#issue-1438976763 (don't know if it will work, but mayby will) In case of questions it will be good sth more involved with server look at it.

On a related note.. Seen Bean is a decent actor,
@bykimbo Luckily for Ireland I do not value either of those things.. in fact, sanity is quite the burden to be honest.
