Today I said goodbye to Twitter (at least until things... doubtful... improve), and I think #TwitterMigration will increase, so another introduction!

I'm an information science professor who researches #techethics #aiethics #onlinecommunities #hci #cseducation and #fandom (also, at least once, all of those things at the same time!)

I also do a lot of science communication (and occasional silliness) on #TikTok (@professorcasey) and my #YouTube (CaseyFieslerPhD) is full of #gradschool advice!

Mastodon relay functions download all subject matter posts from relay server/instances.

I think the user algorithms add enough general posts.

So, I'm working on adding something that will just grab #Native #NativeMastodon #Indigenous #IndigenousMastodon posts from other selected server/instances.

These posts will import into the Federated timeline for https://Mvskoke.social users.

Hi folks! New here so I'll post a little #introduction. I'm an activist, musician and writer based in Boston. I help run @team . I write poppy queer political punk songs and have a few albums out on Get Better Records & Don Giovanni Records (read more about that here https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/evan-greer-spotify-is-surveillance/). I care a lot about the ways tech policy impacts LGBTQ+ folks & other marginalized communities. I'm starting to think through a book project exploring abolitionist tech policy. Happy to be here! <3

Hey y'all: Given Twitter’s turbulence we want to build our platform here on Mastodon to make sure we can continue our conversations on a public social media platform.

Can you please BOOST this post and FOLLOW our account and encourage your followers to do the same? Thank you.

I have a surprise for you all. 😏
I've committed someone to create a proper logo for #Sengi.

I didn't go the "contest" way because it leads to make people work for free. So I found someone that has a nice portfolio and paid upfront.

He just sent me the result, I'm waiting for the final files but... here it is! 😀

My Teaching Philosophy (because what could be a better use of bandwidth than one more person telling you how to feel about public education?) - https://bluecerealeducation.com/my-teaching-philosophy-0 #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.

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.
