We're happy to be here and look forward to great interactions with the residents of the fediverse. (🧵con'td)

#Introduction #Texas #Journalism

Here's your irregular reminder that:

Twitter was a multi-billion dollar company with thousands of employees.

Mastodon is a niche hobbyist product run by volunteers

The fact that we're being seen as a viable alternative to them is an admission that a federated, decentralized future is not only possible, but desirable.

Mastodon is not one thing, or one place. It's a network of many things and many places. We don't have a spokesperson (I mean, there's me. I'm the official spokesperson for 💯 of the fediverse, but beyond me there is no spokesperson) we don't have consensus on moderation or blocking or tools or what is good and what is bad. Some of us are professional SREs and Sysadmins, some of us aren't. Some of our instances have been around for 5+ years, some won't be here in six months.

And that's good! All of it, every last bit of it is good.

We're wrestling power away from the billionaire class, in real time, and reclaiming it for the People.

Just want to say thank you to all my new followers here on Mastodon! If you’re not familiar with me or my work, here’s a quick #intro. I am a historian of philanthropy in the United States looking at its development during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era alongside the growth of modern forms of financial capitalism. I also direct the development of #careerdiversity programming for the Humanities Without Walls consortium https://www.humanitieswithoutwalls.illinois.edu

🌏 Introducing https://mapstodon.space, a new Mastodon instance for the mapping & geospatial community 🚀

Mapstodon is intended to be a gathering space for GIS, mapping, geospatial & cartography professionals and enthusiasts, regardless of the tools you use. Ask questions. Share your maps. And above all: enjoy the @qgis emoji 👀

Hey all! I hope everyone had a great Saturday!

For tonight's evening read, I wanted to share an article from earlier this week. It's an important story that hasn't gotten a lot of attention. I'll let the title speak for itself.

Tribes in the Colorado River Basin are fighting for their water. States wish they wouldn’t.

Trying to rebuild my tribe of great practicing #Teachers #Principals, #Edchat thinkers and sharers on #EduTooter #Education #Teacher. #Edutwitter was such a great resource for free PD and sharing of ideas and resources for 10 years before it started to devolve into a clout-chasing marketplace. If it crashes, I'm going to miss interacting with great #Educators , but I won't miss all of the people who don't work in schools or someone forever trying to sell me yet another book.

Interesting way to think about data. #education #edtech #edutoot

The great #TwitterMigration is in full swing. Awesome to see and begin connecting with so many passionate educators committed to making a difference in this space #edutooter #education #pedagogy #edtech #edutooters
