I appreciate my sister's parenting tbh.

Good news, folks. I was just informed they took down the archives.

Matteo Zignani, Christian Quadri, Alessia Galdeman, Sabrina Gaito andGian Paolo Rossi from the University of #Milan scraped all english speaking instances (363) listed on instances.social, wrote a paper about it and are distributing the dataset.

“In this context, we release a dataset gathered from Mastodon, […]“

https://aaai.org/ojs/index.php/ICWSM/article/download/3262/3130/

“These data have been collected by implementing an ad-hoc tool for downloading the public timelines of the servers, namely instances, that form the Mastodon platform, along with the meta-data associated to them.“

“The spider exploits the instance list obtained from the previous step and makes a pool of requests to the instance endpoint 4 which returns the latest toots of the local timeline. Since the time-lines implement a pagination mechanism, the spider extracts the URL for the next request and repeat this procedure till it reaches the end of the timeline.”

“In the terms of service and privacy policy the gathering and the usage of public available data is never explicitly mentioned, consequently our data collec-tion seems to be complaint with the policy of the instance.“

Wrong.

"Excuse me," the stranger behind in the queue said, "don't take this the wrong way, but what is that scent you're wearing? It smells amazing!"
"Scent?"
"Is it a cologne or perfume, a body wash or shampoo?"
"Oh, that! I'm a librarian."
"Um... So?"
"I smell of books and stories."

pass a law that all discontinued products and services must release their source code imo

Hello .
We're a system of 4 people (Elise, Morgane, Hel, Nora).

Elise : Host | Trans woman (she/her) | Truck driver | Lego Nerd | Historian | Book writer.

Morgane: Rally Driver | Trans woman (she/her) | Car Enthusiast

Nora : NB woman (she/her | they/them) | Cyberpunk robot girl (don't mess with them). She's so present that sometimes we wonder if she's not the host. Nora is the caretaker of the system.

Hel : AFAB (she/her) | Named after the goddess of Death in Nordic Mythology, she is the source of the system's instability.

Others :
We suffer from chronic pain, depression, RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) and social phobias.

Elise speaks with "I".

I'm not new to the fediverse as I was on eldritch.cafe before (​ Hello @Sylvhem ​ ❤️​).
Either that I'm not new to plural.cafe as well (Hel created her own account some time ago but deleted it).

(We're speaking French and English.)

Have a good day ❤️​ ​!

Do not worry
nothing is breaking
it is just settling. Like old wood
changed by the sea wind.
It creaks
and moans
but it's still holding.

Hello! We're the Amethyst Constellation. We only discovered we're a system recently and are looking to just interact with other plural folx so that's why we've joined. Nice to meet you all

Hi! We are the silly system. We only found out we were a system around a month ago. I have no idea how many members there are. We have come here for hopefully a bit of guidance and information.
