there are instances related to visualization, HCI & digital humanities on the #fediverse, but what about folks into #Urbanism #UrbanDesign #Cycling #WalkableCities #UrbanPlanning #UrbanFutures you ask? there seems to be a friendly place just for you, too: https://urbanists.social

for folks on http://vis.social following a certain sport event over the next three weeks, please, go easy on sharing your excitement in posts. we're a tad concerned that our little s̶t̶a̶d̶i̶u̶m̶ server might reach capacity too quickly

you can also start with the 2nd step to find the instance where most of your peeps are. but the choice of instance is not that big of a choice as it might sound. the #fediverse is all about connecting across instances. and if you want to move: account portability is built-in

the 1st step to #joinMastodon is to find an instance. most peeps in my bubble are here: http://vis.social http://hci.social http://openbiblio.social http://post.lurk.org http://fedihum.org http://chaos.social http://fediscience.org http://hcommons.social

for your daily brain pickings: Maria Popova—author of https://www.themarginalian.org—is now also very well #fediverse’d as 🐘[email protected]

it's a bit ironic that birdsite recognizes .social URLs as links, while Mastodon does not seem to bother… oh and by the way: our lab is now also here 🐘[email protected] 🧪

FeDiHum https://fedihum.org/ is a brand new instance on the #fediverse devoted to #academicChatter among "researchers, teachers, students, and those interested in the field of #DigitalHumanities" – run by the fine folks at 🐘DHd@https://fedihum.org/

i wonder when we'll reach the point where we consider the #fediverse to be part of basic communication infrastructure as email and the web

#introduction: Hi all, i'm a research professor at #FHPotsdam, where i work with wonderful colleagues on #datavis projects and have the privilege to teach (and most often learn with) talented students of #interfacedesign and #urbanfutures.

if the #fediverse has the potential to become a relevant public infrastructure for online communication, what could research and education contribute to its success? thinking especially of #interfacedesign #datavis #hci #digitalhumanities

apropos setting the bird free: removing twitter app from mobile device #twittermigration

Transatlantic service tweet: European summer time ends this Sunday, while daylight saving time lasts one more week in US & Canada. Yes, there are (always) more important things. And sure, i appreciate the reminder of time being socially constructed, but consider all the hiccups!

Die #Vergesellschaftungskonferenz hat die Eigentumsfrage mit Ausrufezeichen gestellt: Alternativen zum Kapitalismus müssen demokratisch legitimiert, dem Gemeinwohl verpflichtet und sozial-ökologisch transformativ sein! Warum ist das eigentlich radikal? #vgk2022 @Vergesellschaf1

So sad to hear that @BrunoLatourAIME has died. I am thankful for having met him discussing monads, folds, and data visualization. Great loss!

The jam-packed longlist of the #IIBAwards has just been released with a strong presence of #datavis projects by folks from @FHPotsdam published over the last three years. 🧵
