A very good intro to Mastodon for academics by @humcommons; especially good on the thorny which-instance-to-join question for humanists and soc scientists. https://hcommons.org/docs/mastodon-quick-start-guide-for-humanities-scholars/

Mastodon habits I'm trying to lock in, rather than revert to my Twitter habits:

1) use CWs liberally
2) when threading, set first post to "public" and the rest to "not listed"
3) don't forget the description text when posting images (had to work on that in Twitter too)
4) throw in hashtags like it was Tumblr or Instagram when you want to reach beyond your followers
5) pin and visit hashtags to find more people
6) boost a lot

for the #interdisciplinary #academic folks, here's a compilation of mastodoners in the fields: https://github.com/nathanlesage/academics-on-mastodon

and don't forget if you're #LitStudies or adjacent, add yourself to our sheet here: https://forms.gle/Ap78vRKK1oTxhFgx5/ (updated so no gmail account is required!)

Not quite sure what to say by way of #introduction except that I’m grateful for the option of this space. Interests include #archives (especially in re: #afrofuturism, #machinelearning, #bookhistory, & #biodiversity / #naturalhistory); #archaeology (classical especially, including #romanbritain); #gaidhlig / #scotsgaelic; and grief, resolve, & #mutualaid in the #anthropocene.
Oh, nice. People are starting to trickle in. Let me expand my hello hashtag set in case we find each other. #digitalhumanities was the first one I used. We can probably add #bookhistory #literature #history #digitalhistory #minicomp (that one is probably new, but hey, all about that jazz).
Where the QTs at?
