If you're hearing a lot about the fediverse these days, you should know: Mastodon is not the whole fediverse and the fediverse is not simply a Twitter replacement. The fediverse is an entire ecosystem, built on something called ActivityPub. Learn more: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/11/leaving-twitters-walled-garden

Proposed resolution:

When Tumblr joins the fediverse by implementing ActivityPub, we should:
- Defederate Tumblr if they inject ads into the federation for our users, and
- Defederate Tumblr if they place federated posts (our posts) alongside ads.

No ads on fedi.

Edit: This is a PROPOSAL. The intent of this is not to dictate terms, but to encourage admins to develop and consider policy before the crisis happens.

Want an introduction to #CulturallyResponsiveTeaching, not to be confused with #CriticalRaceTheory?

You need to watch this 2017 webinar via Corwin.

In anticipation of reading Zaretta hammond’s book, Culturally Responsive Teaching and The Brain, I decided to watch her webinar (twice, it was that good!).

Any other High School Game Design Teachers on Mastodon, let's connect #edutooters

@aus_teach @AlliFlowers @edmunds_t @edutooters that, and also how we define “engagement” are always fun conversations to have.

Great article from @dajb about governance on Mastodon servers. Like social.coop, Friend Camp has started using Loomio to make group consensus decisions around things like non-obvious defederation, and it's working out really well.

I recommend instance admins look into Loomio. Once we have used it a bit more on Friend Camp I am going to post a how-to and best practices for small servers.

There is a history behind each sign.

Funny how if billionaires leave b/c Govt raises billionaire taxes, it’s Govt’s fault—but as teachers leave because Govt won’t raise teacher salaries, it’s the teachers fault.🤔

Protecting billionaires & exploiting teachers in poverty is class warfare against working people.

Is new Special Counsel Jack Smith investigating:

- Who planted the pipe bombs?
- Who disabled Pence’s key card?
- Who removed the panic buttons?
- Who shared the location of the non-reinforced windows?

If you enjoy someone's post on #Mastodon go ahead and click the star. If someone tells you that's meaningless because there's no #algorithm, ignore them. Sure, boost the post too if you want others to also see the post, but don't think telling someone you like what they posted is somehow unimportant. In real life I don't tell someone, "good job," or "well said," or "I love that," for the sake of some algorithm, I do it because I'm human and they are too. It's fundamental to being truly social.
