Connecticut Law ReviewHi #LawFedi & #lawprofs. Given the exodus of #legalacademia and #lawtwitter from our usual hangout, we thought we should make an account here. Please be gentle with us as we get used to posting (tooting?) on this platform. π
Sarah Fackrell@connlrev Welcome!
ππ¨π§ πππ«π ππ«@connlrev My least favorite feature of Mastodon is the word "toot," which always makes me think of the little poem about "Beans, beans, the musical fruit." But I suppose it isn't any sillier than "tweet" and we all got used to that.
King Beauregard@jonberger @connlrev My server says "Publish!" which I suppose is intended to sound classier than "Toot!" Personally I voted for "Ass-Blast!"

Cassandrich@jonberger @connlrev "Toot" admits a delightful term for shitposting.
David Colarusso@connlrev welcome. FWIW, if you're looking to find #LawFedi follows and get a sense of the discourse, you should check out @icymi_law It's feed is a good replacement algo for things #LawFedi that don't use the hashtag.
CaseyLWelcome! Happy to have you join us!
Aaron Moshiashwili@connlrev followed as a welcome!
tobie@connlrev Post away! I never liked the word 'toot' so I always say 'post.' I look forward to seeing you in these parts.

FediTips has moved!Hey there! π
If you need help getting started, there are a lot of beginners' questions answered at https://fedi.tips
Also, feel free to ask for help if you want!
MakeItSo@connlrev Welcome! Great to have you. Following you immediately. Bring your friends! Mastodon is not nearly as hard to use as reputed. And it has the advantage of not having a fascism-adjacent billionaire owner!
Smythe@connlrev Welcome. Toot βem if you got βem! And donβt forget your ALT-text!
