Push back with decent content, ignore bad content, some celebs thrive on attention, just don't give them any.

We can have intelligent conversations here, like in Science forums you can't post self promoting stuff, but if you want to make an argument for / against something you need to back it up with evidence.

"A point was made recently that celebs probably don't give a shit about local cultural norms. Most comedians in particular make their trade by working against established norms."

This is a good point.

We're going to need to push back hard against this kind of antisocial behaviour by celebrities and comedians, to keep the Fedi a nice place to be

I am all for more servers, simply as it spreads the load for users, but I think the momentum has started now and hopefully won't stop.

Looks like investors are losing faith in facebook too, so maybe, just maybe the tide is turning,

Granted we could be going back to the way the internet was in the 90s, more personal, individual etc.

@gretathunberg

I would hope that on here everyone who is interested in can start to really think about what we can do to help the environment etc.

If we can get away from corporate control we may have a better chance to succeed.

How cool is it that you don't have to play mind games with some stupid algorithm when sharing things on here? I can put a link to an external site in a toot and don't have to think about how it might affect anything. Love it.

A new job, a new instance, a new #introduction.

Hi, I'm Jim. 👋

🎓 I study epistemic practices in #ecology and #AI, their tensions and interconnections, and how they help us to think about the roles of #knowledge, #ignorance and #expertise in society. In September this year, I began a two-year postdoc in the Department of Technology and Society at Lund University.

While my research is in #STS, I am not so well embedded in the field. I've previously held positions in #geography, #sociology and #genderstudies departments, and draw on work from #politicalecology, #environmentalhistory, #mediastudies and #culturalstudies. If it looks interesting, I'll give it a read. 📖

My university profile can be found at portal.research.lu.se/en/perso, and a list of my publications at orcid.org/0000-0002-6735-3893.

🩳 In addition to academic stuff, I will likely post about 🦄 #parenting, life as an immigrant in 🇸🇪 #Sweden, and my nerdy hobbies: reading and watching 🚀 #scifi, self-hosting 🐧 #linux servers, designing ergonomic ⌨ #keyboards, #foraging for 🍄 #mushrooms, and experimenting with 🍺 #fermentation.

You can find out more about my amateur #making and #coding at github.com/jimmerricks.

@FediFollows Moved from Twitter a couple of says ago. Maybe add me to the astronomers list ?

Hello science community, did you achieve something today you want to share? Everything counts, from "Got nominated for the Nobel prize" to "Got out of bed". ✨

Indeed, quality over quantity.

@HolgerHellinger Your little company? 100,000 people? Hah, you think so small! :) Think Google running one. Think millions and millions of people. Now we’re talking. Yum! Think new proprietary features that Google adds on top that people love. Think embrace, extend, extinguish.

If you embrace the success criteria of Big Tech you will end up being replaced by Big Tech. No one does Big Tech as well as Big Tech. You want to build true alternatives? Embrace the opposite success criteria: go small.

Hi, this is Greta. You are welcome to follow me here, if you prefer planet earth to planet mars.

Here's a random question for you guys!

Do you remember game books? Like fighting fantasy stuff etc? Choose your own adventure kinda jam.
Well, I had a couple as a kid that I absolutely adored. Each bookcase with a blue and red die. One for the hero and one for the enemies. They had faces and swords on them etc.
They weren't separate, they came with the books. For the life of me, I can't remember what they were called. Absolutely no idea whatsoever.
Do you know? Could you share this if not?!

@cwebber I am immensely sorry for the person from QOTO who responded to this and your other post with a middle finger and disrespect. I suspended them for hate speech. I am talking to my other mods to make sure they dont object, but with it being clearly against our rules I suspect their suspension will stick.

Once again very sorry for that uncalled for behavior, he hasnt acted like that int he past.

@tomasino Excellent, will share on my blog etc

Lets share this out there :)
