@Klappspatack Ohne jetzt irgendwas davon selbst getestet zu haben, würde ich ein zweigleisiges Vorgehen empfehlen.

Zum einen Twitter auf Koks: Sharkey. Sollte verspielt genug für junge Leute sein. App dazu, falls nötig: Aria.

Zum anderen für Diskussionen in Gruppen: Mbin oder PieFed. App dazu, falls nötig: Interstellar (nur für Android).

Pixelfed ist eher für Künstler und nicht der 1:1-Drop-in-Instagram-Klon, als das es gern hingestellt wird. Loops ist unfertig und immer noch nicht dezentralisiert. Und Friendica, sorry, ist noch altbackener als Mastodon, auch wenn es zu den mächtigsten Sachen im Fediverse gehört. Außerdem treibt sich auch auf Facebook, wofür Friendica eine Alternative sein will, kaum einer rum, der jünger ist als die ersten zwei Millennial-Jahrgänge.

台北時報 · Private rocket terminated mid-flightBy 台北時報

If we could live forever, imagine drifting through the endless vast sea of the cosmos for billion of years. Not staying in one place but always moving. Of all the things we would have seen.

I'm excited to learn more about this visitor.

Space · Astronomers say new interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS is 'very likely to be the oldest comet we have ever seen'By Robert Lea

3I/Atlas, possibly much older than the Solar System.

Kudos to Hopkins and Lintott for making a _prediction_ (about the composition of the object).
That is something that separates proper science from stamp collection, to borrow a famous quip.

Note how interstellar objects have the privilege of a single letter ("I") in their designations.

Mystery interstellar object could be oldest known comet
<bbc.com/news/articles/cx23g5jp>

ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) has obtained new images of 3I/ATLAS, an interstellar object discovered last week.
www.bbc.com3I/Atlas: Mystery interstellar object could be the oldest known cometScientists have been racing to discover the origins of 3I/Atlas since it was spotted last week.

For those of you who have been distracted by other (bad) news, our good friends at ATLAS (hey, LarryD!!!) just spotted what looks like the 3rd ever interstellar object ever discovered.

Known as 3I/ATLAS (and now, C/2015 N1) it's coming it hot in a very eccentric orbit before it'll blast past Mars and out of our solar system again.

A timelapse of #interstellar comet ATLAS in the sky from the VLT: youtube.com/watch?v=IXJ221XXPv. And there are already three papers: arxiv.org/abs/2507.02757 (Discovery and Preliminary Characterization of a Third Interstellar Object: 3I/ATLAS), arxiv.org/abs/2507.05252 (Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS: discovery and physical description) and arxiv.org/abs/2507.05226 (Initial VLT/MUSE spectroscopy of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS).

📸 Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
This rare visitor is only the third known object from beyond our Solar System. Currently approaching from Jupiter’s distance, it will pass inside Mars’ orbit in late October. Though it will not come near Earth, it offers a rare chance to study material from another star system.

Rewatching #Interstellar for the first time since I last saw it years ago.

Maybe it’s because I’m a parent now—and to a precocious daughter, no less—but this is so much more emotionally brutal than I remember, and I remember it being pretty brutal.
