CNN: Elon Musk’s Twitter blocked links to rival Mastodon. That could raise alarms among regulators >>> https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/16/tech/mastodon-twitter-links/index.html

In addition to suspending journalists who had been covering a controversy related to the third-party tracking of Musk’s private jet, the platform also suspended the official Twitter account of rival Mastodon after it tweeted about the ElonJet account.

Introduction: Hi! I am an educational technologist, podcaster, tired mother, and gin enthusiast. I write and speak about edtech ethics, good teaching and learning practice, and university culture. My makeup is roughly 78% Doozer, 22% Fraggle.

"Be useful. If you can't be useful, be nice. If you can't be nice, don't be a nuisance." Wise advice from a grandmother who ignored all three. 🙂

I tried a couple different #twittermigration tools. #movetodon is hands-down the best. Super-easy, very clear in what it does, done in 60 seconds. Hey, found some old friends! Try it now. https://www.movetodon.org/ Thanks to @Tibor

The surge continues.

Averaging 3000 to 4000 new users per hour. Mastodon continues to run pretty smoothly. Over 70,000 new users in the last 24 hours puts us on track for over 80,000 today.

Great appreciation for Mastodon instance operators! Most instances are funded entirely through donations, so if you can swing it, think about supporting your instance. Check out the /about page (eg https://[instance name]/about) for a donation link.

Greetings from Japan! I've just set up a 🦣 Online Education group for digital pedagogy or the educational application of technologies such as social media, video, podcasting, online classes or conferences, and what have you.

If you follow @OnlineEducation like you follow a person, you can see or share posts addressed to the group. I set it so that I and others cannot see who the members are until you comment or post to the group.

My publications in the field of online education are linked from https://wilmina.academia.edu/SteveMcCarty/Online-Education or https://japanned.hcommons.org/e-learning

Watch for my article on #podcasting very soon. A culmination of 27 years is "Online Education as a Discipline" (2021): https://doi.org/10.20935/AL434

An introduction: I'm Joseph, a teacher in Canberra, Australia; my teaching areas are Legal Studies, English and Textiles (it's a long story!) I'm passionate about student wellbeing and data based approached to education. I like to garden and listen to comedy podcasts. I recently finished my Master's degree in Education where I specialised in student behaviour and educational leadership. I'm a big fan of Gert Biesta. I look forward to meeting all the educators in the fediverse!

Help your friends come over here to the promised land. Here's a post I wrote that takes folks through it, step-by-step.
