@nancybaym Homophily. It looks like most of the social computing researchers are finding their way to octodon.social.
How do people decide which instance to be on? How do you work through confusion of same acct names on different instances? Should we namestake on every instance we can and see which one seems best suited to us? How did you pick?
wow this community is so PLEASANT
people are kind
and i like it
How long do you think we can keep this space straight up nerd?
technical note about this tech as I see some confusion/misconceptions:
Admins of your instance have complete control over your account. Really, we can read all the posts (including DMs) and we can even impersonate/hack your account with ease.
Make sure you trust your admins.
Here on toot.cat we have a CoC that applies to both admins and non admins. Admins are expected to abide by the CoC and not oppress users as well.
love to toot in the morning
