We’re charged with driving innovation for BBC News. Our team of technologists and journalists explore how new tools and formats affect how news is found and reported.
I think this is my first time being on the other side of a #TwitterMigration. It's pretty cool! For all the new folks here making an #introduction for those concerned about not being able to find POC, I strongly recommend starting by following hashtags and using those to follow people who use/are associated with them. I did that and found a really active, engaged, diverse, and vibrant Black community here. Use the following hashtags in particular:
There are other hashtags associated with other communities - our Indigenous siblings use #Indigenous and maybe #NDN, not sure. And every once in a while, someone will tweet a bunch of good accounts to follow. Personally, I could do with more #french#francais or #spanish#espanol content, but that's kind of on me.
Hey folks, we’re really excited to be trying out Mastodon, starting off with this #introduction and finding out more about what’s going on and what questions and comments you have about our work! 🎉 🎉 🥳 🥳
We’re the part of @BBCRD that takes care of MakerBox, connecting curious minds to the community, tools and resources to inspire them: from interactive storytelling to adaptive podcasting and beyond. Explore more and let us know what you think over here: http://bbc.co.uk/makerbox
Time for a re-#introduction to the new folks here:
We are a trustworthy, nonprofit #News source, sharing the knowledge of academic experts on many topics.
Our team of editors identifies researchers studying topics that are timely, important or just plain interesting, and helps them write understandably for the public.
Someone kept bringing up Mastodon so I decided to join. Y'all can just call me Collard Green Dreams, or CGD for short. Here are some relevant things about me:
I'm African-American
I'm Bi and Non-Binary
I'm pretty sure I have ADHD, Autism, or both
I have a ton of interests that vary, such as VNs, books, film, vampires, ATR, history, science, and food.
We are the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research (WCFTR), an archive preserving materials from the entertainment industries. We are home to over three hundred collections from playwrights, television and movie writers, producers, actors, designers, directors, and production companies.
Housed in the Wisconsin Historical Society’s Library-Archives Division, the WCFTR is one of the world’s most accessible #archives and is regularly visited by researchers from around the world. Research undertaken in its collections has revolutionized the scholarship of American #cinema, #theater, and #television.
We use social media to share news about new collections, upcoming events, interesting materials we've found, and projects that we're working on -- as well as learning about what you're working on!
Hey I'm Alicia, an artist who really hasn't been feeling social media lately (especially IG and FB) so I thought I'd try Mastodon out and see if I like the simplicity of it more. I think I picked the perfect server, since I'm much more likely to be in my sunny garden than anywhere else. :BlobCat_Love: 🌞
Unlike #Twitter, this place isn’t set up as a race for RTs & likes & feels more like an ongoing conversation. Engagement is high & on the whole, there’s less outrage & more thoughtful content. I’ve been enjoying the chance to get to meet interesting new folks.
Tip: Start with an #introduction & share your interests. @feditips is a helpful follow to get oriented too.
Hello! I’m a professor of planetary science based at Harvard, interested in rocky planet evolution, #climate, habitability, and related topics.
Finally decided to get a social media account and Mastodon seemed like a logical choice right now. Looking forward to figuring out what this site (or sites??) is all about…
#introduction Hi, I’m new here, but I’m giving this Mastodon thing a try! I’m an ecologist by training, currently teaching intro bio to undergrads. I’m an #insect enthusiast with particular love for #bees, #wasps and other garden critters. I have a chaotic good #vegetablegarden and plant lots of #nativeplants for the yard critters. I’m also a #twinmom and #vegetarian#cook. Don’t have a #dog yet but I love to see photos of your #dogs. What are you #reading right now?
Hello everyone
This my first post on Mastodon. I'm really excited to join.
I am a French professional photographer and digital artist, and I hope you will like my work.
Thought I'd do an #introduction
I'm Ellie, a #ceramicist specialising in #birds and #wildlife
I am #actuallyautistic and trying to be brave by branching out into the big wide world a little more.
Figured the best introduction would be one showing off my newest piece out of the kiln, this tree full of the #owls of the UK.

Hi everyone. I'm going to share a new #introduction.
I'm a #nonbinary (they/them) movement journalist in my 40s, currently based in Central #Texas. From 2022 until today's layoffs, I was Digital Editor at the @TexasObserver. I've been a writer, journalist and editor since at least 2011, when I got my start on the primordial political blog Firedoglake. My involvement with the Occupy Wall Street movement helped make me a journo and I've always worn my bias on my sleeve.
