Latest #FOSSAcademic post: Researching the fediverse from the perspective of individual or instances. In which I draw on an article Christina Dunbar-Hester to talk about researchers' perspectives on the #fediverse, including my own.
Latest #FOSSAcademic post: I experimented with applied #ethics in my media ethics class, asking them to come up with a #CodeOfConduct for our experimental #Mastodon instance. The results were really good!
