Re last: For me the same, this is my only account so far. I'll tell everyone loudly and clearly I'll move. Most probably it'll be to a self-hosted instance because few people seems to like my political views recently, but anyway everyone will be warned several times. #Fedi #Mastodon

I notice that #mastodon just does not want to hear about #blockchain or #crypto. But things are happening. The dollarization (literal replacement of local currencies) by "stable coins" in high inflation countries that print money is real. People will gladly pay for 50% devaluation to pay the USA public debt PROVIDED it is more stable than say, the Argentine Peso. Look at El Salvador, Ecuador and a score of others who officially adopted the actual dollar. #econ #uspol

Can I just say what a simple pleasure it is that #Mastodon has a chronological timeline 💙 🧡 💙

hey @Gargron, loving the idea of this new "Quote" feature I've noticed on #Mastodon. What would be the best way to provide a suggestions to the the dev team?
In a lot of posts, the quote option is not allowed - in those cases it'd be great if clicking 'boost' just did what it used to instead of opening this single option prompt. When the option to quote is possible, I think then it would make sense to have the options show.

J'ai décidé de migrer de serveur Mastodon. L'ancien, mastodon.xyz m'a accueilli dès mes débuts ici en 2017 et je remercie chaleureusement https://mastodon.xyz/@TheKinrar d'avoir si bien géré pendant toutes ces années.
Je suis en train de migrer progressivement les références à l'ancien compte, mais la majorité devrait se faire automatiquement (sauf les messages bien sûr).

Oops I did it again... published another paper about #Mastodon through the lens of the asstodon hashtag
This one's not very rosy, it's about how a motivated harasser had a lot of room to perpetrate harassment in a decentralized network where big servers were not very inclined to intervene ...

I'm doing a peer evaluation of an excellent colleague's teaching. The form we have gives me some thoughts. Not always happy thoughts.
As a psych researcher I have to wonder, first: how valid are these categories for "good teaching?" I suspect nobody ever checked anything like #reliability or #validity for this, but just went with "it seems OK to me." Essentially, this is kind of a psychometric nightmare.
Second, as someone who has had a few friends and acquaintances, and who has been Very Online, and specifically on #Mastodon for a few years... what the fuck?
We're going to potentially deny tenure to people who don't have "appropriate" eye contact? Who don't "use gestures and move in the classroom effectively"? What do either of those mean? What is "appropriate" eye contact? Who has studied optimal classroom-moving strategies or gestures? (Note: Somebody might have, but I don't know what those are, and I suspect nobody in my department does).
#Autistic people, people from any #culture with different norms about eye contact, people with different background experiences regarding how to lecture, how to move, how to... gesture (?!) are potentially disadvantaged here. Okay, realistically nobody here knows what "appropriate" or "effectively" means in any valid sense, so they will go with their gut, base things on their own experiences, and give a rating.
This might be a small thing, but this is one of many examples of how less-valid #assessment opens the door to personal biases.
