READ THIS piece about the infrastructure of the #Internet ! The author raises excellent points in the comparison of online and physical infrastructure… and about how while we chase the bright and shiny new things, the *maintenance* is actually the key…
My greatest professional accomplishment of the year: I got my exec & manager teammates saying "point positive," a term from whitewater rafting and kayaking.
Meaning: when facing hazards, point people toward where to go/what to do, rather than drawing attention to everything to avoid.
I will say this again: Science isn’t just something that nerds do, it’s the foundation of the modern world.
It’s why this app exists. It’s why child mortality rate isn’t 50% anymore. It’s how we’re able to launch people to the moon. It’s how we’re able to grow food that feeds half the world’s population.
Friends, if you haven't already, it would be a big favour to me if you could enable tags.pub to boost your public tagged posts.
Just search for @_followback in your Mastodon UI. Click the follow button there. (Don't try to follow from the profile page; it doesn't work yet.)
It will follow you back, and when you make a post with a hashtag in it, the server will boost your post from the appropriate hashtag.
Meeting minutes from the last Social Web Working Group call, which covered topics like discovery, groups, trust and safety, and more.

Reminder that the fediverse is a "group project" and really does take a village.
Care to join in and help?
