@paulnatsuo additionally, it's important to take in mind that C-IAMs can be exclusionary for the global south/activists because of how computationally heavy they are.

Often there's little chance for these groups to investigate their own exploratory scenarios WITHOUT help from those with access to large processing power (i.e., institutions developing C-IAMs or large ESMs).

I'm not blaming the modeling teams for this, but I am saying it's crucial to develop structural ways to account for it.

@cnsyoung I'd be interested in knowing more about those patterns in academic Twitter/Bluesky...

I didn't use Twitter until recently, and I quickly stopped because it's all the misinformation/hate floating around. So I never experienced academic Twitter in it's prime.

@Akshay @Unknowable @davidho that's a
valid concern.

I predict it will be very server-dependent. Big public instances (w/subscription with little checks) will struggle more.

However, admins can and do ban users permanently, making it harder for wackos to gain popularity. Most moderation will be curbing attempts to sideline bans.

A HUGE advantage of Mastodon is that admins can choose to sever communication with troublesome servers. See the huge ban list of @mstdn

@Braveheart @MCDuncanLab @thesiswhisperer @Zeb_Larson @Svetlana2 oh I do have a LinkedIn, and it works great for career/publication stuff. But not for "human" interactions.

It's very corporate and stiff, in general.

A friend called it "a website made exclusively for humble bragging", and they're spot on.

@MCDuncanLab @thesiswhisperer @Zeb_Larson @Braveheart @Svetlana2
similar situation in energy and sustainability research. People stay in 🐦 because finding folks here is hard, and because most publishers and news orgs are absent.

A positive of Mastodon is that conversing feels more productive. I only made a Twitter account to push a paper and I've hardly used it since because it's hard for new accounts to be noticed. Here I do get into actual conversations, but with people in other fields.

@AmyZenunim that's... A lot of space junk...

Is there no international regulation on this sort of thing? 

. @kathhayhoe very true, and also very hard for those of us neck deep in the topic to come to terms with.

I remember how puzzled the first chapters of "Don't Even Think About It" by George Marshall left me. Reading how victims of climate disasters often didn't change their minds on the topic felt horrific.

I agree with @sewblue. All this horror won't do a dent unless we connect 3: it WILL get worse, here's how to protect yourself when it happens, and here's how to eventually get rid of it.

@DrPlanktonguy this is pretty nuts.

I must know: for how long was the ship meant to stay flipped? And what was the main advantage? Having stable sensors deep underwater? What about storms? Where below sea level movie nights possible for the research team?

@danyork @pieist @mjausson @ct_bergstrom seconding Obsidian. Pretty good cross platform integration, future proof format, active community, and you can automate stuff like pulling metadata from Zotero. I've used it for 2 years and I'm quite happy with it.

Joplin is also good, but Obsidian feels way more customizable.
