Charles MontgomeryAt COP they are debating how to stop climate change. Here is a another machine for cutting GHGs: a mixed use neighbourhood where everything you need is steps from home.

I'm a technologist, turned urban planner, turned technologisturbanplanner. Also PhD student, in geography, at University of Toronto. I think about computer simulations and their ontologies, and building them in participatory ways.
Hey Urbanists of Mastadon! Great to see you here. I'm going to be posting and learning from you about cities, online spaces, happiness and social trust.
My dream: that urbanists think as much about wellbeing in online spaces as they do about bike lanes and architecture.
It's going to take me a second to get up to speed.
Esteban MoroAlmost 180k new users joined #mastodon yesterday, a new record. This third #twitterMigration wave happened after Musk's Twitter 2.0 ultimatum to #Twitter workers. Each wave is stronger than the previous one. Here is my updated plot showing the three consecutive waves.
David AmadorThis website is amazing, linear algebra with interactive examples. Vectors, matrix, dot product, etc, cool resource for learning. #GameDev #Math http://immersivemath.com/ila/index.html
Jay Rosen"What I’m finding most satisfying about Mastodon, and I’m seeing a lot of other journalists feel this, is that it actually forces you to ask and confront some of these questions and to make active choices. Even if Mastodon were to remain Twitter’s very tiny stepbrother, I would still like to be part of a Mastodon journalist community because I think we got lazy as a field, and we let Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and, god help us, Elon Musk decide..."

I can't help but notice many toots from helpful newbies encouraging you to support the Mastodon Patreon.
It's fine to do that but understand it goes to just two big instances and the official Mastodon dev team.
It does NOT trickle down to YOUR instance. If you want to support your server, donate to it directly. Nearly all the costs of the explosive growth of the past few weeks is borne by local instances.
Mastodon is decentralized. There is no Mastodon Inc. This is not Twitter.
Eugen RochkoI don't want to just be posting about numbers like a clock, but the 2 million mark of monthly active users across the network is a pretty big deal. This is going big numbers! Shout out to all the server operators who are absorbing this wave.

Thinking of moving to a different, more quiet instance of Mastodon. I wish there was an instance for Arabic-speaking technologists to congregate.
