My Teaching Philosophy (because what could be a better use of bandwidth than one more person telling you how to feel about public education?) - bluecerealeducation.com/my-tea #teachers #education #pedagogy @edutooters #edutooter

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.

@dj @oliverdarcy just block this account if you don’t want to deal with the account . Welcome to Mastodon! 😃

@girlanachronism The Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday. A few other books by that author, too.

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

@wfryer @SandyKendell Deleting isn’t same as bye. Bye means deactivating account and then logging in periodically to keep your username then repeat. I suspect many want to have their cake and eat it too. 😃 we are social media gluttons, perhaps due for some disengagement from gluttonous ways? 😆

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.

@idletim it is to protect followers by design. You can start with over 450 folks - tinyurl.com/joinedutooters and I have some tutorials here go.mgpd.org/feditoots

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

@SandyKendell @wfryer same, but you can’t tweet any Mastodon link now. Some have suggested using QR Codes, and there is a URL shortener that works (e.g. SpaceKaren.sucks). But I won’t be using either. Time to say bye on Twitter and leave. Those who are choosing to remain to see it burn or because they want to continue enjoying its benefits under the radar have chosen their path.

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.
