Why is Mastodon the best social medium in 2026?

Picture 1: If I share a post with some objectively good news, it gets 97 boosts and 140 likes.

Picture 2: If I share the same post on Threads, it gets zero interactions — zero! — because it contains a link to the competing social medium YouTube, and on Threads, Mark Zuckerberg has decided that the algorithm should not promote such content.

Threads is where the rich decide what we can talk about.

On Mastodon, we decide.

Climate models show considerable discrepancies in their future projections around the Atlantic, mainly due to uncertainties in the fate of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (#AMOC).

#Climate models have previously suggested a reduction in AMOC strength of 32±37% by 2100.

But a closer examination, however, gives an estimate of the AMOC slowdown of 51±8%.

This refinement mainly results from correcting a bias in South Atlantic surface #salinity, consistent with recent studies emphasizing its role in the proximity to an AMOC tipping point.

This more substantial AMOC weakening has key implications for future #adaptation strategies.

BOOM!
South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less.

THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis.

There was a strong temperature anomaly gradient across the Arctic in March, with anomalous warmth over the northernmost areas and much colder conditions relative to average over land areas (more than 5°C departures for both areas)

Will Hollingsworth is his name

Give him a listen

Talking against a #dataCenter proposal in Ravenna, #Ohio

Speaking eloquently on how he trained the #AI that replaced him, bad #regulations, lying #techBros...

Witty, passionate, persuasive

Will is a #citizen in the finest sense of the word

"I am not a cynic when it comes to #technology. I am believer in #community. I believe that a drop of clean #water for a Ravenna child is worth more than a billion #AI generated images"

#MASH on #war

Hawkeye: War isn't Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

What an amazing view of Earth from Artemis II.

The Sun is behind the Earth, illuminating a thin crescent. This low-light shot, taken by Reid Wiseman using a Nikon D5, shows auroras over the poles, city lights, and the glow of the atmosphere.

And yes, there are stars!
