Welcome new cville.online users! I'm the primary admin here & thrilled to see #cville peeps creating an awesome community gathering space.

I believe in supporting collective endeavors to navigate through our ongoing climate emergency. If we all pitch together, this could be an awesome place.

My interests include research/teaching about tech (my day job), eBikes, land use, backyard chickens, a neighborhood art gallery, photography, vicarious gardening, and being online

Another design consideration re: Mastodon is that it works well for ephemeral asynchronous communications, but for many reasons should not be counted on as an archival resource. Media attachments are periodically purged and may not be available after a week, or a month, etc. While some servers may try to preserve content forever, this may be costly and unsustainable. Creators, researchers should treat this as an ephemeral resource and make provisions for self-archiving anything important.

Give her what she really wants this holiday season. Death to the patriarchy, an ancient tome of curses from the forest witch, the hearts of her enemies, and deep pockets in every dress and pair of pants.

Um, I love this place. I didn’t want to lose the med community from the bird site, didn’t realize how important it was to me. This feels like it could be that and more.
