Please sign up.
Moderators are essential to our conference.

#SummerSchool Moderator Signup Form

Hello! Scholar.Social is hosting #SummerSchool, an interdisciplinary online academic conference covering a variety of topics, loosely around July 26 - August 6 Our goals are to: 1. provide scholars with a venue of talking about our work when so many things have been canceled and we need feedback 2. provide all of the Fediverse knowledge and insight from people of multiple backgrounds 3. carry forward the ethics of Scholar.Social which is that knowledge should be free and accessible to all. As a moderator, your duties will be to: * At the beginning of the session announce the presenter by their name, handle, and title of the presentation. If the presenter wants to record the talk, ask all audience members if they consent with the recording, and if not, don't. * Tell the audience the rules: No vocal interruption of the presenter, hold all questions and comments until the end, use the text chat, turn off your camera, turn off your microphone until the end of the talk. * During the presentation, use the text chat as time keeping for the presenter. Announce 10, 5, and 0-minute marks. * Because the talks are going to be relatively short, we are operating on a one strike rule. If someone makes a comment that is offensive or out of line, mute them or kick them out of the session. * If a presenter is unable to host a meeting, you may be asked to do so via either Zoom or Jitsi. This form closes at the end of the day on July 4, and we'll put you in contact with the presenter you're moderating for shortly after. Contact @SummerSchool@scholar.social if you have any questions!

yo, i'm mostly on @csepp nowadays, because this timeline is getting overwhelming and i want a clean start.

probably follow me there if you want to. i don't post much original stuff here now.

i might not follow you back from that account though, at least not until i put together a client that makes larger follow lists more manageable to sift through.

the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world that irc networks have ever had any stability at all aside from illusion and luck

"Hey check out this new podcast!"

OK, sounds interesting! Maybe I will!

"It's exclusively available on (insert proprietary platform here)!"

Well it's not a fucking podcast then, is it?

Hung out with some pigeons today.

(I was careful to not scare them)

hot take mastodon may or may not be crumbling and it's full of problems but the sense of community i've found here is invaluable and i literally wouldn't be who i am today without it. there are so many of you who i can earnestly say i have so much love for even though we may never meet, and that whips ass

apparently the reason why windows font rendering looks so much better than everything else is because microsoft owns patents on cleartype

fucking hell microsoft why can't we have nice things

daily reminder fuck patent law

It's very hard to fathom this moral vacuum. They can't imagine that the EU didn't try to stop vaccine exports and do "EU first" because it's the right thing to do? And would have wrecked supply chains?

....people's mask is literally slipping on covid, just like in the 1960s on "separate but equal" and on important issues of the day before that.
