    Yes! This is it right here, this is how you grow the fediverse. Props to UoG for figuring this out early! Here’s to hoping that other universities catch on that providing Mastodon hosting to their employees and students has more value than offloading all of that discussion onto Twitter or Facebook where it can be shaped by a potentially hostile corporate owner.

    What a glowing review. When I see these articles I always expect that they will experience one issue and give up or treat their posts exactly like the old platform and be disappointed when it’s doesn’t work.

      “A quick follower analysis revealed a significant shift from a primarily local audience on X to a diverse international one on Mastodon. Our followers include academics from various disciplines, open science and open-source enthusiasts, library professionals, historians, and advocates for a better online ecosystem. This broadened reach has opened up new opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing.” 💓 This is exactly what information sharing is about.
