A rich guy with a bruised ego shouldn’t have the power to disrupt your life online. Building an interoperable social media could cut them out of the equation. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/fediverse-could-be-awesome-if-we-dont-screw-it

#Twitter is presented by an algorithm that is designed to keep you on the site. #Mastodon has no such algorithm. It's just the content you ask for, no more, no less.

This creates a whole different feel. It's subtle at first. 4/

Like many people, I'm new to mastodon

I'm a #Paris -based independent policy consultant & advisor on #China and its #decarbonisation

I also worked as an investigative journalist, covering China's environmental crisis in the early 2010s

I used to write long analytical threads on China's #energy and #climate policy on #Twitter

I guess from now on, I will also post here

For a brief introduction to China's #climate pledges, check out my #TED talk here: https://www.ted.com/talks/hongqiao_liu_can_china_achieve_its_ambitious_climate_pledges

See you around🙂

I want to start Canadian member-owned cooperative to run Mastodon servers in Canada.

Similar to social.coop but Canadian.

Just caught up with the latest episode of The Infinite Monkey Cage. Really interesting discussion on #Covid, and how we've all witnessed #science happening in real time throughout the pandemic. Well worth a listen.

Currently Masto.host is experiencing the highest volume of traffic that has ever reached the infrastructure.

The service is partially degraded and I will be doing fast upgrades on the platform.

These can lead to partial downtime, errors and large delays in support requests.

Really sorry. Doing the best I can on my end. Hope you understand. Thanks.

#Introduction: I'm a historian of gender, trauma, & medicine, specifically interested in the experiences of British & Irish women during the First World War. I teach Gender & Science at Pitt, and live for interdisciplinary conversations about how the history of science can improve research outcomes. Also a scholar of the horror genre. I live with a cat named Dr. Fintan & several garden gnomes, all of whom are cleverer than I am. #histodons #history #WW1 #academics #HistMed #Gender #Science

This next wave of Twitter refugees is going to contain a higher percentage of bad actors, I’m afraid.

📢Notice to anyone previously involved in Twitter disinfo, harassment or trolling:
Unlike Elmo’s World, this is not friendly territory. You have no advantage here.

Don’t even think about it.

new to Mastodon- haven't got a clue what's going on! here for the #archaeology 🙂

My heart goes out to all those system admins who were thinking "wow this is kinda neat" and are suddenly holding a piece of communication infrastructure other people are intent on depending on.

That moment when you start getting 502’s and immediately understand that a tsunami of new users just made landfall.

It's time to #introduce myself! ✨

I'm a PhD student working with #neuromorphic computing and control systems. I've worked on spiking neural networks (https://github.com/norse/norse) and event-based vision (https://jegp.github.io/coordinate-regression/). I enjoy talking, thinking, and working towards better abstractions, reproducible #science and #FOSS.

Here's a demo for closed-loop control systems 🤖 https://uzh.mediaspace.cast.switch.ch/media/NEUROTECH+TutorialA+Real-time+neuromorphics+with+Norse/0_hynhzm4b/12519

Each new generation on the web needs to learn that there’s no such thing as a permanent web identity on a commercial web service.

The only long-term solution to maintain your identity is:
1. your own domain name
2. Your own website/blog
3. Several backups

Everything else is temporary. Your accounts on myspace, facebook, medium, twitter, google plus, youtube, tiktok, mastodon will one day disappear or become useless.

You don’t have a "community" on those websites. Only ephemeral discussions.

We're wrestling power away from the billionaire class, in real time.

This is bigger than some technical standard.

This is cultural, political, and economic.

We represent an existential threat to the business model of some of the most wealthy corporations on the planet, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let anyone take that away from us without fighting against it with everything I have.

We are standing on the precipice of a transformative shift in the way we, as a society, relate to one another through the internet.

We are moving away from a Broadcast and Toward a conversation.
