I do find it interesting that of the matches on my blocklist, -none- share a server.
If you've been using fedifinder, I encourage you to also give debirdify a go. It'll have its own heuristics for finding fedi addresses, but more importantly, it can export your blocklist, which you can import into Mastodon. I don't have a huge number of hits there, unsurprisingly given the use of sock puppets & throwaways by The Worst People, but nonetheless, it did still get some matches.

The Lunar Curve. A composition of 28 photos of the moon through its cycle, taken at the same time of day, at the same point (over the Cridola Group of mountains, in Italy). By Giorgia Hofer.

Sometimes I feel like this: in the same place at the same time everyday, and yet, different.

Does anyone have a good list of covid-19 scientists that have made mastodon accounts? I follow many on Twitter but most don't have an account listed in their bio. If you have a good list of covid-19 experts/scientists on this site please send it my way!

Whenever I think "This person in the Python community is so awesome, surely they've already received the Community Service award/already a PSF fellow member", and when I looked into it, turns out I was wrong.

Then I make it right by actually writing up the PSF Fellow/Community Service award nomination for them so that they'll be properly recognized.

You too can nominate people who are doing great work in the #Python community! PSF Fellow nominations are due Nov 20!

Like, c'mmon, especially on a computer, you could easily show the base word definition alongside a definition for the particular inflection. If there are any non-standard connotations, then sure, include something more specific.

Dictionaries love to give definitions like this, and I will never stop resenting them for it.

Wotagulation
noun
1. The act or process of wotagulating.

White people:

You have an opportunity right now in this space. Follow some BIPOC. Open their threads and listen. Keep your opinions to yourself. Unlearn tone policing. And for fuck's sake don't demand education or emotional labor. You aren't owed either.

how do i get back to the federation timeline
Would love to hear from folks who have moved instances multiple times. What did you appreciate about the experience? What was hard or annoying? What did you gain and what did you lose?
Boosts appreciated!
