Hi @CSchmert . Let’s see if we can quickly organize a Demography group here at Mastodon. I saw you launched a google spreadsheet on Tweeter, but many folks are actually missing your post as you release new tweets. Any idea? Also, we are using different instances (mstdn.social, mastodon.social, econtwitter.net), although I know they communicate freely with each other (federation). Is there a way to create a demotwitter.net instance or something along these lines?

Pakistan 236m
Nigeria 219m
Brazil 215m

Global population projected to exceed 8 billion in 2022; half live in just seven countries

China has the world’s largest population (1.426 billion), but India (1.417 billion) is expected to claim this title next year.

By Census Household Pulse Survey, 26% of US households had at least one of four basic hardship indicators in October. By the broader definition (e.g., had enough to heat, but not what they wanted), the index was 59%.

I really hope we can foster an #academicmastodon community as vibrant as the one we had on Twitter. Staying on the other platform for academic conversations less sustainable by the day.

I made a map in the car this morning, which is a first for me and also a sign of my dedication to the #30DayMapChallenge — reported Ukrainian ancestry in the US, between 2016 and 2020, from the American Community Survey
