@chrisstoecker Thus solving the problem European academia has now, that we're swimming in research money but don't have enough PhDs to mop it all up?

@evan Fair point. I'd edit in *public Mastodon posts, but I'm already at the character limit. The Threads federation and Bluesky bridge that people are worried about of course does not affect followers-only posts either.

With #Threads and now with the new #Bluesky bridge, I'm really worried that #MastoAdmin s are doing a bad job of communicating what "federated" means.

Your Mastodon posts are PUBLISHED on the internet. As you read this they are being downloaded, legally, by hundreds of other computers. These computers belong to people you want to share with (other fedizens) and people you don't (surveillance capitalists). There is no reliable way to differentiate them.

This is by design. You cannot opt-out.

@FlintDibble It's a shame, because I've seen some really cool stuff when image generators are trained on real archaeology by people who know what they're doing.
