Brian Klaas*Sheepish request* I'm new to Mastodon, but a lot of my former Twitter followers don't know I'm here yet. Someone suggested I could simply ask you fine people to boost me. Would you be so kind? (I promise to post a photo of my dog to say thanks). #WelcomeToMastodon

Luke MacNeilI don't only take #milkyway photos, but I like them a lot. This one is stacked and blended for focus. Wide Hollow Reservoir at the Petrified Forest State Park in Escalante Utah.

Tim SmalleyHave you ever seen an oak tree dance?
Britain is full of 'lost' rainforests, predominantly in the southwest and northwest of England, western/northwestern parts of Wales and the west coast of Scotland. There are other areas where the conditions are perfect too, like this one in the Peak District National Park.
When the rain starts and the cloud base drops into the rainforest, the trees come alive. Everywhere you look, there is magic and mystery.

Bottom line: There is no such thing as "mild Covid".
Peter KalmusThis leaked Chevron memo is infuriating.
The company spent $2 billion on lawyers to evade the Ecuador pollution liability, but in 1980 refused to spend a paltry $4m to fix its toxic waste pits because it wasn't "economical".
Chevron played God with Indigenous peoples.

KathyF (Kathryn Barrett)I've been here a couple of weeks, so here's my #tip: Before you start following people here, create a profile with a profile pic, some info about what your interests are, or even a pinned #intro post. Why? Because when someone follows me without any info, I'm reluctant to follow back, but I don't always check back later to see if they've updated their profile. (Maybe I should share this on the other site, lol!)
Brent Toderian“If we all rode bikes like the Dutch, annual global emissions would drop nearly 700 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia & Australia.” Via @euronews

🇺🇦 Sean Prophet ⚛Seeing some posts talking about fediblocking turning Mastodon into a "filter bubble." No. We absolutely do not need abusive or fascist views to have a high level of intellectual diversity. Full stop. That hate can fester somewhere else.
After 20 years of social media, the experiment has been run. Hateful people are unconvinced by rational argument, so there's no point engaging with them.
This is a rotten, disingenuous, meritless argument, from A to Z.
Fascism is to be defeated, not debated.

Community moderation of content is messy.
Adding millions of new users to a small community over the course of a couple weeks is going to lead to all kinds of conflict, overreaction, and confusion. Assume good faith, try to resolve issues in good faith, and use the robust tools #Mastodon offers to make changes if you can't resolve things.
