Whoa, #MetaFilter is in pretty deep financial trouble. I am not a very active member of that community anymore, so I'm a little torn. I don't want the site to go away, but I also don't feel like paying a monthly subscription fee for a site I don't visit very often. I'd be willing to give a one time donation, but would that really make a difference in the long term?
Via #mefi, this is too good not to share!

Things I've noticed about myself:
I'm more likely to follow people with:
Gamer, #MeFi or #MeFite, #roleplayer in their profile
I'm almost entirely unlikely to follow people with reference to belief in magic (I'm a SCIENTIST for crying out loud), anarchists, and libertarians. (I'm a democratic socialist)
Looks like it's time for #introductions. I'm Mara; I've been here for...a while now. My degree is in #linguistics; I work in #NLP in #Seattle but am trying to find a better job in #editing or #documentation/#technicalwriting. You can also talk to me about:
#knitting/#fiberarts
#scifi/#fantasy/#sff
#music
#pokemon and various other #anime

In further proof that we live in a cyberpunk future already, 113 GWh of electricity have "gone missing" in Kosovo/Serbia, and as a result all the wall clocks in continental Europe are six minutes behind.

Posted my explanation. A bit rushed as I have to get to work, but #mefi members can post corrections or clarifications, or send them to me to post. https://www.metafilter.com/172764/RT-alexismadrigal-1-63#7336606
Another twitter post on #Mefi #Metafilter so I'm going to be posting up what Mastodon is, since it has been mentioned as an alternative a few times without explanation. Which means you've got a few minutes to send me links or things I should point out.

@KitRedgrave (The thread. If you don't know MeFi, um, very helpful community that keeps trolls out with a $5 entry fee to post, and paid mods. LOTS of crossover with Mastodon: Several of our big migration waves are people writing #MeFi posts about us.)

I think people on Masto will appreciate this: The Web Began Dying in 2014. (I think it was earlier, when people started moving from blogs to Facebook for communication, but this has a good argument.)

Anyone who want to join us the #metafilter #MST3K club just started up for the evening. We watch MST3K on Cy.Tube and chat. Open to anyone who wants to come by, you don't have to be a #mefite , we are friendly (and behind quite a few of the mass immigration waves to Masto from what I can tell)
OK, I put a lot of work into this #mefi post so please go read it https://www.metafilter.com/170294/Mapping-race-and-segregation
