The folks @[email protected] in India were on this from the beginning but got basically no support and no press because tech media wanted to focus on a white savior narrative and tech bros making useless 3D-printed masks and Arduino bag stomper ventilators.

Use CWs pls.

But if I choose not CW a post about racism or misogyny, don't police me about it either

I said that in 2019

And it seems to me that new users to #blacktwitter or #Blackmastodon think that they have to do that. You don't

If you're concerning about fellow Blk folks mental health and wanna CW I get that. Do it. But don't hide for white fragility. Forget that

Atmospheric and air quality scientists on Mastodon

A list of atmospheric and air quality scientists on Mastodon

Wow. This needs to be read by everyone who joined Mastodon in the last week: https://www.hughrundle.net/home-invasion/

The fediverse is dealing with a huge wave of Twitter people bringing toxic ideas with them.

Hi everyone! I'm an #airquality scientist/ #urban #planner based at the University of Colorado Denver. I'm relocating from the bird site. Let's see how this works.
@subu_caps It is unhealthy to have servers like qoto.org, which federate with all other servers because there is a bunch of far-right and illegal content out there. A minimum of moderation is important. That's why we have a list called #fediblock, which should be taken seriously by admins.

What do new users find most confusing about Mastodon?

I wrote a thread about what I've been hearing, while in conversation with @pam9000

@[email protected] Very good question! From what I can tell (my very subjective view) I most often hear people complain about ... 1) they can't figure out what server to join, and/or the servers are full. Also unsure which server is "best" for them. Often unaware that one can follow/be-followed by anyone on any server 2) sign-up hangs/doesn't work. Seems to be a problem of servers being overloaded and/or apps not being able to talk to servers 3) once on, difficult to find who to follow ...

A cryptobro DMed me to ask if I wanted to join his mailing list.

I spent slightly too long making this to send in reply.
