  1. Yeah, I got featured in the Project Mushroom Newsletter!
    Thank you @crimini !

    newsletters.projectmushroom.xy

    In addition, they're talking about #SciArtSeptember which blends #art and #science, as well as all the new features of #Mastodon v4.2, including full search text.
    Also, an important reminder about how to use hashtags best. Remember people #Hashtags are Mastodon's superpower, both to find new people and to be found by new people.

  2. Unfortunate news, it appears that #CurrentlyWeather, which runs a semi-federated #Mastodon instance, (#ProjectMushroom, with public side of spore.social) seems to be shutting down. I hope they have the decency to let their users migrate to other instances (!). Unless they plan to keep running Project Mushroom? (they fundraised for the expenses for that instance). #MastoAdmin

  3. @bronakins @Teri_Kanefield I picked #SporeSocial because it's focused on climate change, has rules & moderation that I support, and isn't too big. It was founded by journalist & climate scientist @EricHolthaus who I greatly respect. As an introvert in suburbia, I feel very isolated in my concern about the #ClimateCrisis, hoping to be part of a community to develop my activism.

  8. After experimenting with a bunch of instances, I'm happy to be on spore.social now :) I'll write a proper intro below soon

  9. @raccoon @[email protected] i’ve just been reading it! I signed up to #ProjectMushroom 🍄 but whilst it was being set up joined mastodon.green, not realising mushroom was going to be on mastodon, too - by then couldn’t be bothered to change instance but keep on wondering whether i should, as i miss the climate Community i had on twitter - though v much like my new one here too. For some reason i can’t look at the spore instance timeline as i can with other instances- am i doing soemthing wrong?

  10. Twitter Blue? No thanks.
    Facebook/Instagram is preparing a similar feature? LMAO.

    How about I become a paying member of @projectmushroom instead??? I already got an awesome Mastodon instance thanks to them (this current one), and I can't wait to be able to move my newsletter to them too.

  11. Hey #projectmushroom have you heard about Funguary?

    It's a February #drawing challenge based around fungi 🍄 I don't have the time to do this but I would sure love to see more #fungi #sciart here!

    Here are the rules and all the prompts for the month:

  12. Okay, just went down the #ProjectMushroom / #spore rabbit hole because I tried to follow someone who said they were on Mastodon, and listed their PM handle...and of course I couldn't find them at all.

    What is the point? Why create an instance that can't interact with the fedi?

    All I can say is, aptly named instance, because everyone there will remain in the dark.

  13. A #Mosstodon #LichenSubscribe #frostodon crossover episode: snow melts on a rocky PNW forest clearing.

    FYI #ProjectMushroom and #Spore folks: This image uploaded directly from my iPhone with no problem, while I was getting errors trying to upload it from my desktop.

  14. A cool finding from this week's meanderings and #Mosstodon contribution to celebrate image sharing.

    FYI #ProjectMushroom and #Spore folks: I can't find info on a hard limit for image uploads, but currently it seems that it gets rejected if it's 1.5 MB or more. (This one was 1.4 MB and uploaded quickly, no problem.)
    ...
    EDITED to add that a different picture won't upload even at < 1 MB, so not sure yet how to avoid the 413 Request Entity Too Large error.

  15. @raccoon Example, if I can increase the #energy efficiency of my home, and thus pay less for heating oil (or wood or electricity) and then take those savings and spend them on something helpful to the #environment and the world, like supporting #ProjectMushroom and #Spore financially, It would have double the impact by saving emissions and helping the people who are doing something about the problem, instead of sending more money to those that are perpetuating the #ClimateCrises . 🧵 2/2

  16. Alright, when I started becoming active on Mastodon, I created a few different accounts (to see how the whole thing works, to test several instances, etc). Time to merge a bunch.
    I want to use this one as my main "serious" one (and merge other accounts here), but there are two problems.

    1. I really struggle with the color choices (yellow on white! am I really the only one for who this is an issue? @spore any news about allowing default colors as an option?)

  20. Time to leave #Substack. I have a bad feeling about it and it's getting worse and worse to the day.
    I see three possible replacements:

    1. Go back to blogging only and integrate a #newsletter thing in my blog (it's kinda what I used to do with MailChimp back in the day).

    2. Any #Fediverse option that I'm not aware of?

    3. @EricHolthaus I know you want to start one as part of #ProjectMushroom. Any rough idea about when it'll be launching?

  21. @MinAdrianne

    The moderation policies at #projectmushroom are impressive, though they have a wait list:

    tryprojectmushroom.com

    I have had good luck finding servers for friends by searching for their interest by hash tag and looking for people who seem chill into the things they like and see what #servers THEY are on.

    For example if you know any people who like: biology, art, dinosaurs, prehistory, geology and who want a good server the one I'm gone is good.

  22. Fixin to switch instances and cast my lot with the #ProjectMushroom folks at spore.social. Knowing me I'll fuck it up, but here's hopin' to see y'all on the other side.🤞

  23. CW: Bird site, migration

    I know someone said this some time ago, but it's now nearly Christmas and after weeks of #TwitterMigration and users moving to #Mastodon instances, #ProjectMushroom, photographers and artists concentrating on Instagram... I've not seen a single post saying that someone is moving to or concentrating on Facebook. I'm not really sure what that says, but it's curious.

  24. I’m confused. How is Project Mushroom related to Mastodon? Is a completely separate entity? I thought I would be able to find and follow someone on #projectmushroom by searching for their handle on here, but it hasn’t worked so far for me.

  25. Slightly belated but HUGE congrats to
    Eric Holthaus and his team!

    The #ProjectMushroom Mastodon server was FULLY funded this week on #Kickstarter, with just 3 hours to go! 🥳

    Their Mastodon instance is a fully-moderated #Mastodon hub for #ClimateAction, dedicated to finding #climatechange solutions and building a global community.

    It's also 100% free to use, with NO trolls! 🥰

    What an amazing accomplishment in the #ClimateCrisis fight!

  26. So I got an account on #ProjectMushroom and on #SporeSocial, but don't really how the latter is supposed to be a bridge to the #fediverse if boosted posts don't cross.

    Definitely feels like a walled garden, maybe with a window looking outside, but you can't even open it.

  31. Is it just me or is Project Mushroom just making a walled garden but without outright saying it? This whole "bridge" to the #fediverse sounds so convoluted.

  36. Eric #Holthaus, ein international bekannter #Klimawissenschaftler und #Publizist, ist gerade dabei, eine moderierte #Fediverse-Instanz für die #ClimateJustice-Bubble aufzusetzen: das #ProjectMushroom. Es wird neben einer #Mastodon-Instanz auch weitere Dienste anbieten, die #Campaigning unterstützen, wie #LiveEvents (#Audio, #Video) oder einen Ort für #Newsletter. Interessierte User können sich dort aktuell auf eine Warteliste setzen lassen. Mehr Infos zum Projekt:
