Anyone have a suggestion of a good Mastodon for ResearchForTheFrontLines.ca?

We're a organization that provides support to communities and movements fighting for environmental and justice across Canada.

@jamesglave Thanks! The geographical focus of mstdn.ca could be good. Do you have any other orgs on your server that are explicitly resisting settler colonialism in Canada? Any Indigenous-led orgs?

@myeyesaredim, we're always looking for new volunteers!

“It’s a really disproportionate impact when Indigenous people only make up 5 per cent of the population in Canada but 42 per cent of wildfire evacuation events occur in their communities,” said Amy Cardinal Christianson, a Métis fire research scientist.

The list of First Nations under either an evacuation alert or order on the BC government website is really shocking.

I really appreciated this feature in by a (under a pseudonym).

Welp I think if I want to stay on Mastodon I need to move servers, the one I'm on was just down with no explanation for days and there's an annoying amount of drama associated with it now. Ecoevo.social is a possibility, as is scicomm.xyz, but are there any other science/nature/scicomm/bird focused servers I should consider?

@r_heisman I'm thinking the same thing. I've already switched once and didn't want to have to do it again.

I really hope my Actual Science People continue to use this platform and it can be walled off as a place to talk about The Really Hard Shit. Not all science communication has to be for everyone, and it would be nice to have a TEH VACINES DID IT free space that is also actually populated with people I'd talk to more than once.

@jamesheathers, I'm not sure about wanting it to be walled off, but I agree about talking with Actual Science People!

You can also participate in this training in-person in and meet the hosts from ResearchForTheFrontLines.ca. We’re thinking about coordinating something for folks from around to get together in-person too, followed by some social time, so let me know if you’re interested or have a suggestion for a good space.

I'm excited to confirm that we’ve added a satellite location for the (R4FL) training on Tuesday July 11th, to bring together folks from our network in and around for the first R4FL event on the west coast! This will be a rare opportunity to join some local R4FL folks in person and learn together.

Please send a message if you plan to come in person so we know how many people to expect.
