Dr Pen<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@thedisciple" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>thedisciple</span></a></span> I'd choose <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a>. Because:<br>- it's open, anyone can see all posts, without having to log in. <br>- it is decentralised. No one will ever own all of it. I could host my own. I could host yours. <br>- ppl are more interested in each other. <br>- there is a lot more alternative culture going on.<br>- there is more interaction. More trust. More equality.<br>- It's a lot less corporate.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensource</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensocialweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opensocialweb</span></a></p>

Der Pepe (Hubzilla) ⁂ ⚝The very fact that this announcement had to be split into two postings because of the 500-character limit should make you wonder whether Mastodon might be the wrong access software to the #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.hu/search?tag=fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fediverse</a> for scientists.
Tombe la pluie - Theespookje<p>My end goal is to stop using twitter totally and post casually here, but I already use my secret private account more than the main public one so cross posting is easy. For now I cross post there and on <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/bluesky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bluesky</span></a> because for some reason people think it's better than here when it sucks ass because there's not the awesome <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/hashtag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hashtag</span></a> system nor is decentralised like <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> and the <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> are so people give up their autonomy for something HARDER to use I want to bang my head against a wall.</p>
