Happy #Halloween mastodon! If you don’t know me yet this is probably a good introduction. :)

How's it going over here? I'm still learning the ropes. Was on KQED Forum (radio show) today talking about our Noema article with Adrienne Williams and they asked me about #TwitterMigration. What other platforms are y'all on? Dusted up my Linked In but who has time to be everywhere? The Twitter dumpster fire seems to only be getting worse.

The Exploited Labor Behind Artificial Intelligence

Supporting transnational worker organizing should be at the center of the fight for “ethical AI.”

Today, I teach interactions in my stats class and this example by @[email protected] is still my favorite

Finding new ways for explaining interaction is a passion of mine.

Just put in my official "notice" on the other site.

No more personal use of that account, and I hope to wrap up my professional use of it as more colleagues migrate to other locations.

As a woman in STEM with a relatively large following I often dealt with harassment there, and I'm not willing to "wait it out" like others.

The community here is so positive, kind, and inquisitive and a big thank you to all of you for being so welcome to everyone who has made the leap since April ❤️

I've made a deliberate choice against a quoting feature because it inevitably adds toxicity to people's behaviours. You are tempted to quote when you should be replying, and so you speak at your audience instead of with the person you are talking to. It becomes performative. Even when doing it for "good" like ridiculing awful comments, you are giving awful comments more eyeballs that way. No quote toots. Thank's
It looks like the #TwitterMigration is keeping mastodon.social so busy that I can't upload videos.
That's congestion I can get excited about.
Welcome everyone!

I have encountered more image descriptions on Mastodon in 24 hours than I have in Twitter in a couple of years. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
As a blind person, this means a lot to me. If you read this and you describe your images, thank you so, so, so much on behalf of all of us. If you don't, now you know you'll be helping random Internet strangers make sense of your posts by typing in a few more words than usual.

Text might be the most neglected part of #dataviz. We talk a lot about how the right chart type and colors can improve visualizations – but not enough about how to use words well.

So I wrote about that in my latest article: https://blog.datawrapper.de/text-in-data-visualizations/

What to consider when using text in data visualizations

How to make your data visualizations easier to read (and more interesting to look at!) with the right use of text.
