Oh ah, FYI, I tend to follow anyone who interacts with me, 'cause I figure I probably will enjoy interacting with people who thought things I said were worth interacting with. If you wanna deny that I won't hold a grudge. 😉

I also often do followbacks. Though today has been very high traffic on all counts so it may be a while till I get back to looking at that.
twitter migration
I do find it interesting that of the matches on my blocklist, -none- share a server.

If you've been using fedifinder, I encourage you to also give debirdify a go. It'll have its own heuristics for finding fedi addresses, but more importantly, it can export your blocklist, which you can import into Mastodon. I don't have a huge number of hits there, unsurprisingly given the use of sock puppets & throwaways by The Worst People, but nonetheless, it did still get some matches.

The Lunar Curve. A composition of 28 photos of the moon through its cycle, taken at the same time of day, at the same point (over the Cridola Group of mountains, in Italy). By Giorgia Hofer.
Sometimes I feel like this: in the same place at the same time everyday, and yet, different.

Does anyone have a good list of covid-19 scientists that have made mastodon accounts? I follow many on Twitter but most don't have an account listed in their bio. If you have a good list of covid-19 experts/scientists on this site please send it my way!

Whenever I think "This person in the Python community is so awesome, surely they've already received the Community Service award/already a PSF fellow member", and when I looked into it, turns out I was wrong.
Then I make it right by actually writing up the PSF Fellow/Community Service award nomination for them so that they'll be properly recognized.
You too can nominate people who are doing great work in the #Python community! PSF Fellow nominations are due Nov 20!
Like, c'mmon, especially on a computer, you could easily show the base word definition alongside a definition for the particular inflection. If there are any non-standard connotations, then sure, include something more specific.
Dictionaries love to give definitions like this, and I will never stop resenting them for it.
Wotagulation

Now is probably a good time to say this:
If you're a blogger or artist, don't trust *any* social media as permanent.
No, not even here.
Create a website.
Keep it updated.
Manage the infrastructure.
Take regular backups.
Post links.

White people:
You have an opportunity right now in this space. Follow some BIPOC. Open their threads and listen. Keep your opinions to yourself. Unlearn tone policing. And for fuck's sake don't demand education or emotional labor. You aren't owed either.

Would love to hear from folks who have moved instances multiple times. What did you appreciate about the experience? What was hard or annoying? What did you gain and what did you lose?
Boosts appreciated!

Who Is “Web3” For?
https://strangematters.coop/web3-vs-fediverse-decentralized-internet/
> Like radioactivity, blockchain can be a useful tool in solving certain kinds of problems. Like dental hygiene, the decentralization of global communication platforms is an important problem, but not necessarily the right application for the instrument. Like Doromad Radioactive Toothpaste, web3 has little to do with solving the stated problem, and everything to do with profiting off of a buzzword, resulting in more harm than good in the process.

Wish I could remove boosts from my lists... "Home" is actually the only place I want them..

Having feelings about the movie Sneakers it's the true xenial/geriatric millennial generational divide
And finally I was doing stuff with an artists pose doll. None of th results was my goal, but some are pretty interesting.
After the anime variations I had the brainstorm to ask it for versions of my portrait in Lisa Frank's style! And as a bonus treat, what happens when you ask it to mix Murakami and Frank together.
Contrast that with these two, which use d the same source image but a much older method. Also they were generated on someone elses server, rather than on my desktop.
Then I decided to play with my current profile pic and the original version of it. From this pic came this weird maze face. The rest originated with the source for my current avatar. All of these are "anime" style according to Stable Diffusion.
