@freemo It's Orwellian and Authortarian, exactly the thing most "progressives" say they hate. I don't get this instance thing when the tools to block entire instances are in the app, (web browser). Haven't checked to see if Fedilab has that option, but that's the way it should be done. Let the user decide!

A pretty inconvenient truth. The price of scientific visibility is paid with air travel and the associated damage to the environment.
Sadly, it looks like not even an ongoing pandemic can change this unsustainable privilege (after all, researchers of low and middle income countries tend to be excluded due to high travel costs and visa issues).

@pandian Many teachers do not instil understanding, only learning facts. Their students cannot reason and take themselves forward and enjoy it.

I just had a light-bulb moment about academic assessment.

Thread? Mega-Toot? Tootle-Wave?
