I screwed up a prior post, didn't 🧵 right. See *2nd post* below for GoogleDoc file! The image on this post=just a partial screenshot

👇#Covid19 flyer on my office door. Most ppl I work w/are highly educated, but NOT #covid savvy--& there's no mask requirement. Perhaps *someone* has walked by, read it, & decided to #WearAMask

Includes some US🇺🇸 data--but that could be modified for any place

#CovidIsNotOver

Letting #covid rip has consequences, especially with repeat infections. This study shows an increase in after effects on major organ systems, increase in hospitalization, and increase in death. Best strategy is to #WearYourMask, and prevent the first infection, and if that's too late, prevent reinfection. #covid19 #covidisairborne

Hello #TwitterMigration friends, ideas for curating your timeline, which is quite like #gardening: what you plant will be what grows here for you.

1. If you mainly follow others who arrived with you, you depend on them staying. Balance with people who post regularly and there will be new growth here when you check.

2. Follow people who boost others. The serendipity of their associations will seed new ideas for you.

3. It’s a new home: you don’t need the same garden you had in your old home.

When I joined #mastodon, I just wanted an open-source #twitter clone.

I got more than that. Subtle design differences made for healthier conversations in ways I wasn't expecting.

Here's a blog post to try to capture those differences and why they matter. https://scott.mn/2022/10/29/twitter_features_mastodon_is_better_without/

Dear #TwitterMigration folks, an important tip on #privacy on the fediverse:

There is none.

This is a public medium; please treat it as such. Just as you have no privacy on Twitter (Elon Musk can read all your DMs), you have no privacy on the instance you’re on (your administrators can read all your posts).

You can set the visibility of a post but that’s a viewing suggestion, not a privacy guarantee.

Think of your posts as postcards, not sealed letters, and you should be fine.
