Title A name given to the resource Mastodon Subject The topic of the resource Social media; Free computer software Description An account of the resource Mastodon came online in October 2016. It's a microblog, replicating many features of Twitter, with short posts and follower/followed relationships. Its major distinction from Twitter is that it is federated, meaning it has no central server, but rather a collection of servers run by volunteers. Each server administrator can set rules for accessing and using her server. Mastodon is a modification of GNU social software, which is the underlying software of other federated microblogs, such as the Independent Microblogging Service.

This instance is hosted and maintained by @mykola@a.weirder.earth, so if there's a problem please reach out to him. Anything awesome you find here, though, is the result of a wonderful community! :) a weirder earth itself is meant to be a community that skews thoughtful and weird. Everyone who abides by the code of conduct is welcome, thoughtful weirdos most of all! :) If you run into trouble registering, ping @mykola here or on twitter for help. Home to 256 weirdos Who logged 11,210 eccentricities Connected to 949 other earths Welcome! Please feel free to join us here, but if you do know that we ask everyone to keep a few things in mind. The following list is not exhaustive, and will be modified and expanded over time. Look, if you get it and you you're good with it, great. If you don't get it, figure it out - we can help! If you don't want to get it, maybe find somewhere else to hang your hat. Own Your Weird - This is a space to celebrate our diversity. Be true to yourself and let others do the same. Share Your Weird - Talk about the weird shit you're into! Talk to other people about the weird shit they're into! Make weird shit together! Post your art! Bots welcome! Cultivate the Weird - Harassment will not be tolerated, oppressive behavior will not be tolerated, and while failure to recognize the boundaries of others may be met at first with a gentle attempt to educate you, repeated failure will not be tolerated. Keep A Weirder Earth Weird! - no brands, no marketing, no data-miners. You're here to use it for its social function, not to exploit it for some other purpose. Banal Bullshit Unwelcome - there's nothing interesting about homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism or any of the other unexamined default settings some people grow up with. Being a nazi isn't weird, it's shitty and aggressively boring - take it somewhere else. You can feel free to disagree somewhere else where none of us have to hear you. Enforced strictly. Future updates to these rules will clarify what that means as necessary. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
