Photograph of #Mastodon founder #JoanMastodon from the early 1960s. Mastodon is seen manually transcribing telegraphed toots into the first ever instance (in background). Mastodon gained late fame when she was banned from Twitter while being mistaken with a guy called #JohnMastodon who actually never existed.

@johannesgrunert I actually believe Joan Mastodon originally started building Mastodon in the 40's to help transfer messages back and forth to allied commanders. Dwight D. Eistenhower famously delivered the first Toot.

Nice photo. But she was only successful because one of her anchestors - #JoelMastodon - had experimented with first still hand-stamped toots on dried #Mastodon skin years before.

Attached: 1 image On this invisibilised and therefore rare photo, #JoanMastodon and #ClaudetteMastodon (respectively the wife and daughter of #JohnMastodon, too frequently erased from the History of the federated network!) are seen hard-wiring some toots to some hashtags, in an early prototype of instance. (ca. 1926)

Liebe Kommentatoren, nein, es ist NICHT Katherine Johnson sondern lt. WIKIPEDIA Melba Roy Mouton: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melba_Roy_Mouton
überlegt doch bitte, ob diese Gleichsetzung "Frau" + "schwarz" + "Computer" = "Hidden Figures" nicht extrem klischeebehaftet ist. Es gab (und gibt) mit Sicherheit mehr Frauen, auf die diese Attribute zutreffen.
@johannesgrunert ich will dich damit nicht persönlich angreifen aber diese Bilder fluten zur Zeit meine Timelines.

@as63b Danke für deinen Post, ich werde darüber nachdenken. Mein Ansatz war, dass für viele klar war, dass diese imaginierte Figur "John Mastodon" für die meisten männlich und weiß war. Das geht ja schon damit los, dass der Autor aus join John macht und nicht z.B. Joan. Dem wollte ich gern etwas entgegen setzen. Den Film bzw. das Klischee war mir, um ehrlich zu sein, bislang gar kein Begriff, auch wenn ich natürlich die Unsichtbarkeit von Frauen in der Wissenschaft im Kopf hatte.

@johannesgrunert Actually Melba Roy Mouton was one of the mathematicians working for the NASA as computers. If you can watch the movie “Hidden Figures” describing the work of many colored women working for NASA.
