Have you packed your bags and relocated here from Twitter? You might be interested in reading this paper about what happens when communities migrate across platforms. :) cmci.colorado.edu/~cafi5706/CS #twittermigration

@chjara Oh, ok. *That* makes sense, and I can definitely see that.

Thanks for clarifying!

Really? I was under the impression that most Finnish vocabulary had changed over the millennia with borrowings from other languages. Now that I think about it, that was probably something I misread.

And here's a well known Twitter employee posing with said code twitter.com/leahculver/status/

With today's developments at Twitter, we have some new faces at QOTO. If you are one of them, welcome! Please take a minute to familiarise yourself with the [rules](qoto.org/about/more#rules).

I'm a fluid dynamicist and a volunteer moderator here. Mostly this just means I spend some time deleting spammers, but I also deal with reports of rules violations. If you're considering reporting another user, please read [this post](qoto.org/@khird/10819448806540) for a description of how users from different instances are subject to different rules.

If you have questions, ask away! We have a genuinely helpful community here and it's likely someone will be able to point you in the right direction.

I am looking for more moderators for mastodon.social. Please e-mail staff@mastodon.social if you are interested, but please only apply if you have consistently been here for a while.

> CEO Parag Agrawal, chief financial officer Ned Segal, and Vijaya Gadde, head of legal policy, trust, and safety, were all fired, according to the people. Sean Edgett, the company’s general counsel, was also pushed out, one of the people said. The top executives were hastily shuttled from the building, the people said.

Today, $META fell under $100.

In one year, it's lost 68% of its value—it's down 22% this year.

Analysts are blaming the metaverse, but the problem is more profound than that.

My advice to anybody coming here from Twitter to escape the Musk purchase:

This is not Twitter. Take some time to feel out the vibe, follow the examples of people already on here.
Be mindful of others and use content warnings. Caption your pictures. Don't be a tool.
This is not a walled garden. The site you first sign up to may just be training wheels. You might find another that suits your interests better, no problem. Mastodon.social isn't for everybody and that's fine.

#welcome

@iankenway
Holy shit! I'm so saddened to hear that! You have my condolences and my sympathy

@PawelK
He's going to drive the birdsite straight into the ground, isn't he?
On the bright side, as I have been saying, this could be very good for the Fediverse.
