New people, welcome to Mastodon and the Fediverse!
Here's how to get started:
1. Find some people to follow over on @FediFollows, and through Trunk (https://communitywiki.org/trunk)
2. Find out your Mastodon/Fediverse address so you can share it with friends (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107248252715651564)
3. Invite people to join you on here by telling them to go to https://joinmastodon.org and click on "Get Started". It doesn't matter if they join a different server because the servers talk to each other (here's a bit more of an explanation https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107021461185874594)
4. Find out what the Fediverse is (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107044096139091624)
5. Find out why Mastodon being on so many different servers/instances is a really good thing (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/107083735491993183)
6. If you see anything nasty, you can report it to your friendly server admin (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106540152842368591)
7. You can (sort of) verify your account if you own a website (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106274105538953001)
If you have any questions, @ me or DM me!
This is a really wonderful explanation of transformers (the # mlpfim architecture behind the boom in #NLP) for software engineers. For me, vastly clearer than other “visual” explanations. https://blog.nelhage.com/post/transformers-for-software-engineers/
I'm also going to completely open up #WritingExchange registrations for the next couple days, so people don't have to wait for approval.
Voice and video calls are now available on Session.
The beta for our calls feature has now gone public, marking the final step before our full release of HQ onion-routed calling — a world-first for a messaging app.

We don't need to passively accept it when conceited billionaires buy up social media.
We can create and use our own social media instead:
https://growyourown.services/grow-your-own-social-network
There are thousands of community-owned servers on the Fediverse with millions of registered users.
We can take back ownership of our online social lives, if we choose to.
