I just walked into my local public library with a curiosity and walked out with a bag full of books to satisfy it.

Quick Tip 💡 for all the #data #datascience #machinelearning #datadon folks on Mastodon,

✅ There is nothing cheesy and attention-seeking about using hashtags on Mastodon.

We don't have an algorithm that makes people whose posts we fav more visible so either someone boosts your post on their server or you use hashtags so as to be discoverable across instances.

✅ Use hashtags freely. With more folks joining Mastodon on newer instances, hashtags are your best friend 🤝

In the UN #Biodiversity Conference, #cop15, countries agreed to reach effective conservation and management of at least 30% of the world’s coastal areas and #oceans.
