mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06I am currently active at @judell@social.coop.
This relationship graph maps the servers in my recent home timeline. The arrows mean that someone on the origin server boosted someone on the target server.
I think it's a good way to answer the question: "Is it really possible to interact effectively across a network of diverse Mastodon servers?"
"Ultimately, to figure out what we really need to worry about, we need better AI literacy among the general public and especially policy-makers. We need better transparency on how these large AI systems work, how they are trained, and how they are evaluated. We need independent evaluation, rather than relying on the unreproducible, “just trust us” results in technical reports from companies that profit from these technologies." -

I exported the list of people I follow from mastodon.social to social.coop. I guess I'll wait a while before transplanting the people associated with those lists. Meanwhile I'm interested to hear from others who've done this. Did everyone show up? After how long?
Hmm. I suppose some of those will show up as requests to follow so I'll need to wait on approvals for those.

An excellent conversation between @bigdata@mastodon.social and @c@hackny.social that unpacks the shifting meanings of a set of terms including statistics, big data, machine learning, AI, and ... blast from the past! ... pattern recognition.
Hey @steveyost@mastodon.world I was just chatting with @gvwilson@mastodon.social about how, back in the day, *Internet Groupware for Scientific Collaboration* (https://jonudell.net/GroupwareReport.html) used QuickTopic to anchor per-paragraph discussion.
QuickTopic was and remains a great idea, and I'm grateful you kept the service running for so long.
What would you use today?
@fncll@social.coop Here's one way, using https://hub.steampipe.io/plugins/turbot/mastodon.
You could install #Steampipe plus the Mastodon plugin to run queries like this. Alternatively you could do it in cloud.steampipe.io.
