Della ✔️I keep seeing lots of long-time #fediverse users saying 'don't favourite posts it does nothing' but actually when you favourite my posts it makes me smile and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Since Twitter is embracing double checkmarks, Tumblr is mocking them by allowing users to purchase double checkmarks—or in my case, quadruple checkmarks! 😂🤣😂
It only shows up on the Tumblr social display of my site, though.
So it does not show for https://www.darnell.co but it will for https://tumblr.com/Darnell (I wonder why‽)

ptigas*mic check! one two! one two!
here's my genesis block #introduction
I'm a PhD student working with @yaringal in OATML at the university of Oxford.
I'm working in bayesian sequential decision-making, experimental design and causality. I'm also interested in generative design and architecture, artificial life, cybernetics, biology and music. More about me here https://ptigas.com/
David PfauLooking back on the last decade, it seems clear that Twitter caused some pretty significant shifts in how ML/AI research was driven. Papers could go viral in a way that wasn't really possible at conferences or on arXiv. This incentivized lots of work in areas that could grab your attention in a tweet - anything with cool videos or visuals. The current wave of generative AI probably wouldn't exist if it wasn't for social media. Was this a good thing? Will academics moving off Twitter change that?
Eugen RochkoDeveloping Mastodon, I strive to use terminology that is familiar to as many people as possible so as to not put up unnecessary barriers in understanding. For this reason I am happy that we went away from calling posts "toots". It has always been a point of friction for people. Not that I dislike branding, quite the opposite, but in my experience receiving feedback over half a decade, it had a negative effect on the platform for little benefit.
