Hi Sven,
I am not 100% sure but "econtwitter.net [3]" should be the server on
which the gretl account was opened. Mastodon is a decentralized social
network, so from what I understand, it runs on different servers
unlike classic social networks like twitter or facebook.
The fact that there is "twitter" in the name should just be a choice
of the administrator.
Artur, correct me if I said something wrong and thank you.
"#econtwitter" is a well-known hashtag to flag economics-related posts
on, originaly, twitter. Indeed, @econtwitter is just the name of a
server. This server is supposed to be the meeting place for economists
coming from twitter.
Actually, there was a debate whether to replace #econtwitter by
something related to mastodon, but #econmastodon does not sound very
fancy :-D
Best,
Artur
