It’s sometimes incredibly obvious that parliament has no former software people, but is full of lawyers and journalists. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-64584001

"Follow hashtags that make you happy," they said. I followed #DogsOfMastodon, and they were right. It was a good suggestion.
@mrnathannelson Cheers. Glad to be on the other side. 🖖
@kaimatai Just a whole bunch of unexpected/painful/oh-ffs/😱 stuff which have been complete time/energy/brain/life-sucks. Thankfully nothing completely tragic, although it had potential to come close on occasion. La vie, or so it goes.
@skanman Don’t ask me; I’ve been MIA until about 5 minutes ago. Hello and welcome back!
Somehow still alive. That was certainly a couple of months.

A randomized control trial to determine whether parachutes prevent death when jumping from aircraft.
Don't understand clinical trials and all that other statistical/epidemiological stuff? This will help.
@david_colquhoun Indeed. Twitter invested heavily in enabling push-based promotion, both algorithmic and paid-for, so became well-suited to news-type content.
I don’t think that Mastodon serves that kind of content very well, being more akin to a traditional personal pull-based microblogging platform which is more ephemeral than the primarily promotional platform that Twitter later became.

@ShortyMcStompy I don’t follow it at all, but knowing “people”, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was like voting to keep watching a car crash over and over, which Hancock clearly is.
@david_colquhoun That’s a limitation by design. Mastodon’s #search is limited to #hashtags, usernames, user URLs and post (toot) URLs. This is why use of hashtags is strongly encouraged.
It’s more about finding connections than about finding content. For searching general information or #news, one would be better off with one of the larger search engines.
