I’m very adamant about using “toot” instead of “post”. I’ll die on this hill, but hopefully not today because I have lots of errands to run, like buying stamps at the toot office.
Also, for the new people, a little bit of history.
The founder of this site was John Mastodon. Toots were originally delivered by town crier, but the mode of delivery has evolved with technology…telegraph, ham radio, and now internets.
:Scott_Pilgrim_Face:: so it's like Twitter but decentralized and nobody owns it and we are all just posting nonsense whilst being anticorporate haha. Did you know big tech is like spying on you??? Mastodon doesn't! It has no ads or algori...
My suspicion is that most non-science people don’t realize that just coming up with a definition “this is a kilogram” and then being able to make a measurement in a lab where you can say with confidence “this is a kilogram” has involved an unimaginably huge amount of work and gazillions of dollars
Wow…Catch-up on #phanpy is really great for, um, catching up!
It’s really nice to be able to click on a particular person to see their stuff that you missed or to sort your feed by likes or boosts to just see the popular stuff at a glance
