Hey folks, I’m a social lead at a leading university in Canada and am trying to figure out whether it’s feasible to set up an instance for staff, faculty, and students.

Recognize that this is a big undertaking without many examples to draw from. So, if you’ve encountered any schools or Higher-Ed institutes (or are one!), I’d love to hear about it/you.

This is the most accurate characterization and narrative of Musk I have seen. A worthwhile read, and much appreciated.

Does anyone know why I can't see all of someone's followers or the people they follow? I only seem to be able to see one or two.

Twitter users, as of this morning (12/18/2022) can no longer add #mastodon links in their Twitter profile, because any link to any mastodon instance is apparently considered #malware by Elon :-( cc #edtechSR #ConCW #ElonMusk #MediaLit #ElonsWarOnMastodon

A front page article on the Washington Post telling people how to get started with Mastodon?

That’s a big deal.

I’m calling banned journalists, for instance, to never ever go back. You do not need to be on Twitter to cover it. I’m frankly agnostic about holding onto an account. Right now I’m doing that, but use it to criticize Melon until I’m somehow banned at some point. I deleted my DMs and almost all my posts and don’t communicate via DM anymore. I post a fraction of the volume I once did. At some point I’m sure that will end, too. There’s no utility to it.

Good Morning Mastodon.
