I told a joke on a Zoom Meeting and no-one laughed.

It turns out I'm not remotely funny.

People choose to adopt or read a textbook because (a) it's on a topic of interest and (b) they trust the author(s) to have curated and synthesized info into a single representation (the textbook). Now, imagine this: subscribing to a curated, synthesized, online source where the author is actively, frequently updating their curation and synthesis based on new evidence. Would you pay for that? Would you adopt it (perhaps a cheaper, time-limited version) for a course?

Shuts down laptop: I think that’s enough internet for today.

Picks up phone: Let’s see what the pocket-sized internet is doing.

Hello Mastodon art people! I’m Julia, an illustrator and naturalist from Germany. I’ve quit all social media a few years ago because addictive algorithms, ads, infinite scrolling and tracking surveillance were killing my creativity.
Mastodon is likely the last social media experiment I’ll try. Here are some birds for you, because although I’ve left Twitter, I love drawing birds.

Edit: Since this post, I've made my home here. :-)

dear #mastodon,

which timeline/feature do you tend to spend the most time on?

p.s. please consider boosting for a more meaningful sample size.

I came across a neat browser extension today. It looks for "rel=me" links pointing to mastodon profiles, and puts it in a little list for you to review.

In other words, you visit a website, and if tells you if there are any mastodon accounts associated to the website.
