Paul VoosenFor a long time, I had grown despondent of the web ever escaping the trap of the corporate network effect. Mastodon feels like a way out; I'm glad to be here
So, #introduction. I'm Paul Voosen, the earth and planetary science reporter at Science magazine. I cover #climate, #NASA, #geoscience, Mars rocks, foram tales, gyres, ridges, slabs, clouds. And mostly, I'm here to listen in. So I'm going to try and convince as many geoscientists to join us here as possible.
JeffBeen using @ivory for a few days and find much to like. It may be my favorite Mastodon App thus far, and worth the money to support it.
Thumbs Up 👍
André NattaJust because we don't get information a certain way doesn't mean everything's completely broken. It means things are shifting + we have to determine where journalism (as a profession) fits into the scene unfolding.
There's acknowledging the role journalism adopted in the info infrastructure 100+ years ago has changed in addition to the places where the exchange of this info has taken place (parks, churches, central gathering spots in all of their forms).
MarioI tested several Mastodon clients on iOS and have a favorite: Mona! 🎉

Annalee Newitz 🍜Let me put a phrase into your mind: nonconsensual virality. It's why quote-posts on Twitter led to harassment. People's words stolen, taken out of context, used purely to incite a mob of griefers. The answer is to give #Mastodon users control over whether someone else can quote-post them, with a simple "quote or not" setting that can be set before or after the post goes up. We should be allowed to stop people from taking our posts viral without our consent.
