💡 Switching on a new era for GBIF!
Yesterday GBIF went live in a new data centre, on new hardware and moved from our Cloudera-based data warehouse onto Stackable.tech!
This is the result of a huge amount of work from engineering team who work tirelessly to keep GBIF serving billions of records a day. ❤️
There may be teething issues, 🦷 so please bear with us! 🐻
A kind observation that exclusively calling this place "Mastodon" has a bit similar energy as saying "I just sent a GMail."
"Fediverse" (or "fedi") is a more inclusive, general term.
Mastodon is just one of many software projects that talk to each other to create this multi-instance social network:
https://axbom.com/fediverse/
(kudos to @axbom for this fantastic infographic!)
There are blogs, Reddit-like communities, video instances and many more, all part of fedi.
As more and more people are asking me about Mastodon I felt a need for a picture to point at, showcasing how the software known as Mastodon fits into the much larger concept of the Fediverse. I made this infographic to help myself and others explain the many different use-cases
A nice addition to the @ORCID_Org website to help integrate with Mastodon would be to support the use of the rel="me" attribute in a way that Mastodon users can use it to #verify academic identities.
This would let links to ORCID's show in green with check marks on user profiles, thus quickly proving that the account is run by the person associated with that #ORCID.
There's already an issue open, so go up vote if you'd like to see this supported
