Welcome to democracy.town, a new instance on Mastodon for progressives and allies.

Our previous instance was resistance.social, which we created as an alternative to Twitter for The Resistance earlier this year. We joined Mastodon in February, 2019 on another instance.

Most of us have known each other for 4 years. We also have met many new friends along the way whom we value highly.

If you have questions or need help, please tag me or one of our moderators. You can also see democracy.town/about for more information.

It's time to move on to having fun, helping people be active in their communities, and helping others vote.

- Tony, instance administrator

All we need to do now is get spacex and nasa on the fediverse so posts can be 'official' :)

@johnabs Awesome thanks for this, I don't mind at all, one of the things I like about mastodon is this, old school info sharing and collaboration.

@zleap Hi Paul, I hope you don't mind if I hijack this post a bit to plug a similar tool (though it's not collaborative in the same way as Overleaf) called RMarkdown! It has nearly all the features of LaTeX (since it compiles to LaTeX as an intermediate file type) but works with R to allow for seamless integration of code, typesetting, and reproducible data analysis, via loading R-Scripts. It also gets rid of a lot of the annoying markup syntax (\begin{} etc.) in most typical use cases(though they are still usable if necessary).

For anybody who's a fan of LaTeX, I HEAVILY suggest looking at this tool, and similar ones for languages like Julia's Weave etc. In RMarkdown specifically, you can also mix multiple languages into a single RMarkdown file that runs analysis and compiles your document!

Here's a link to the documentation and overview of the tool, and I've also included a Github link to a thesis template I wrote a while back to make it much easier to automate the figure making and typesetting process, in case anybody is interested!
