Amanhã começa o #SciComPT23, o congresso nacional de comunicação de ciência (este ano em Bragança).
A minha missão? Trazer mais scicommers pró #mastodon!
Por isso, no último dia, na última sessão paralela, podem encontrar-me na Biblioteca da ESA para uma "Introdução ao Fediverso".
#GreatMigration
Thank you, @feditips!

'The Warmth of Other Suns' is a thorough history of the Great Migration. The span of years and places are far more extensive than I realized. Ms. Wilkerson's telling of this history is from a human perspective. The lives of three real people from different backgrounds and different times are brought to the pages. The inhumanity of the Jim Crow South and the challenges of the reluctant North and West are described as vividly as the perseverance of the people.

"I pick up my life and take it with me and I put it down in Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Scranton...

I pick up my life and take it on the train to Los Angeles, Bakersfield, Seattle, Oakland, Salt Lake, any place that is North and West ---

And not South."

- Langston Hughes, 'One-Way Ticket'

IMO, another example of how one story in the #nytimes is worth more then 100,000 #twitter or #mastodon posts

200,000 African Americans have left #NYC in the last decade and many have moved #south reversing the #greatmigration

one wonders if the insanely hi prices of NYC real estate, driven by the FINSEC are helping turn #georgia purple if not blue

Re: #Twitter being a ghost town, I saw the same thing within a month of the #GreatMigration. Almost all of infosec Twitter pulled up stakes and came here, and a lot of other people started posting less too. There's a few very online people who are still fighting for the scraps, hoping that their post will go viral and they'll get those huge numbers. They're addicts, chasing the next dopamine rush that comes from a giant pile of likes and retweets.

Coincident with a large decline in the monetary income of the microblogging giant #Twitter (controlled by techno-oligarch Elon #Musk), there has been a recent impediment to access to third-party applications.

Use #mastodon instead.

So, now I'm starting to do the main part of my #work about how migration law in the #USA was influenced by inner events, such as #GreatMigration, #GreatDepression, #McCarthyism, #KKK infuence & #demographic situation for the period 1921-1965
There is already an excellent work by Jia Lynn Yang about the topic, but I wanna to do the things in some other way, using more materials from the #Senate & #TheHouseOfRepresentatives pappers, incl the debates about some particular laws and some other things

@AbandonedAmerica
So when are you going to do a photolog of the abandoned bird site? #GreatMigration

#FF #followfriday

Happy to find @andrei + @cody and their #artbots here in #Mastodonia. You're reading along -- sad this, struggle there, oh dearie me here -- and suddenly! A #Kandinsky or #Krasner or #WmJohnson appears and things are better for it.
Thanks to arthaus for braving the #greatmigration 😘

This article is foundational, as the #GreatMigration continues:

#Mastodon is hurtling toward a tipping point https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/12/mastodon-is-hurtling-toward-a-tipping-point/

The subtitle says it all:
With rising popularity comes rising costs, culture shifts—and potential legal risks

Most users are aware of the invisible labor of the #instance managers, but we tend to focus on cost, not thinking of the legal/bureaucratic/ liability issues

So: huge thanks to @kawulf @lizcovart & @jmadelman for creating this space for @histodons!

@phillip @BigAngBlack @majorlinux
Y'all are the best! 😆😆😆All along the Gulf Coast, you'll find common threads in cuisine, music, and heritage, so I'm going to say the #GreatMigration for the win. It's good that you know that connection, Phillip. Follow it. Have you ever been to Mississippi?

another sign of the #greatmigration: my birdsite notifications have reverted to the new-user, random tweet suggestions phase, because no one i follow is actually using it.

Awwww. Y'all leave my Phillip alone. I believe being from Chicago is a good defense for just about anything😏, but our southern Louisiana cousins also eat spaghetti as a side dish. We may have a #GreatMigration link here.
That's all I got. Be strong, Auntie's precious! 😆😆😆

“[…] would a larger amount of smaller instances with a small number of people in each make life easier for the moderators?” …aaand we invented #fediverse together 😉😀
But seriously, thanks for interesting discussion. In the 1st days of the #greatMigration I was considering a small, local instance, thus having a meaningful job. But then saw our #Mastodon instance operators’ issues and said „nope, I’m good”😉

Hi so greetings #birdsite refugees. Welcome. This is not #Twitter. If you give it a chance I think you will like it better than that, but it is different and you need to treat it different.
This is the #greatmigration part seventeen… Please leave the toxicity at the door. Yeah I know you grew a skin over there but it's truly not needed here. This place is truly what you make of it. There's no endless scroll drama feed. No algorithms. You chose what’s here, so choose wisely.
My suggestion? Curate a new feed. Don’t just re-follow everyone from over there here. Stay there but move on also. We all had some great memories there, but that’s over now.
Recreate your feed.
Follow old friends but pick new ones too.
Isn’t it exciting? It’s like if you were among the first new tweets when MySpace was dying. How cool is that?
Be the change you wish to see.
