Wow, just learned that @scott (the author of *the* book on #d3js, http://alignedleft.com/work/d3-book-2e) hasn't just joined Mastodon but has even set-up his own data-#visualization focused instance at vis.social!
If you're at all interested in data and its visualization, you should really head over there.
@arx You flatter me with your *asterisks*! Thanks, Alex, for helping get the word out. I'm hoping to ensnare any of the data/vis folks not already on 🐘. :)
