Header image: a photograph of part of the Milky Way, roughly spanning the region from the North America nebula (right) to Cassiopeia and h and χ Persei (left). Image taken on 2024-09-04 with a SONY DSC-RX100M3, 30s exposure using a tripod, f/1.8, ISO 1600; rotated, cropped, and mildly contrast enhanced.

Do you know #scientists or #researchers, who are interested to start on #Mastodon?
The #university #library of #Groningen @Bibliothecaris has published a short introduction that might bei helpful for that

Most people in brightly lit countries probably take for granted that clouds are bright at night, but this is completely unnatural. You can see it better in this pair of photos we published in a later paper (titled "Red is the new black"): https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.21559.x
This probably matters a great deal for nocturnal animals, because it's a reversal of an environmental condition that existed during the hundreds of millions of years that life evolved.

According to the listings of @sabrinkmann we have nearly 60 #Mastodon accounts of #universities in Germany
👉 https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/
In addition, there are nearly 150 #research #institutes / organisations
👉 https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/?liste=institute-DE
Their followers sum up to exceed 200k and they are constantly growing.
Recently, we realized that 4 #universities are also acitve on #PeerTube

It can thus be concluded, that Mastodon / the #Fediverse became a central pillar in #SciComm in #Germany.

Hi, I approve follow request manually in order to keep my followers list clean of spam accounts. Deciding based on what vibes I get from your account profile. Overall, I am not really aiming to be restrictive at all.
However, chances are I am quicker to deny a follow request originating from mastodon.social, which is ill-moderated; for more see https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server/
Mastodon.social has no advantages over any other Mastodon server. It has no special status or privileges, it uses exactly the same software as other Mastodon servers.
In fact I'd strongly advise people *NOT* to sign up on mastodon.social, here are the reasons why: https://fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-idea-to-join-a-big-server
TL:DR - It's far far too big, it's putting the entire decentralised nature of the Fediverse in danger.
If you want help choosing a good reliable server, have a look at https://fedi.garden
