Wegen zu vieler #OneLove-Binden disqualifiziert zu werden, wäre wohl der würdevollste denkbare Auftritt des #DFB-Teams beim #FIFAWorldCup gewesen.

Whenever I work with English-speaking patients I’m amazed that psychological assessment tools are generally open access. This is a big contrast to the German-speaking clinical world, where you have per-test fees for many widely used scales. I can recommend this website for a wide range of assessment tools: https://www.psychologytools.com/download-scales-and-measures/

And this one for trauma assessment: https://istss.org/clinical-resources

Psychological Assessment Scales And Measures | Psychology Tools

Psychological scales and measures play a role in diagnosis, hypothesis-testing, formulation, and ongoing assessment of a client's progress.

@eikofried At our place we say content advice. It is not a warning and it is not a trigger, but rather advice that sensitive topics are coming up. Two reasons. One to not surprise students with sensitive stuff. Second is to remind them to be careful of those around them and think before they speak. But language such as warnings and triggers suggests these topics are something to be scared of, so worry, anxiety and fear should accompany them. Advice invites respect, for the topic and each other

Precedents like the German government running a Mastodon server are important beyond the obvious reasons. They reinforce the urgency of serious public funding for open code.

If we treated open code as part of the essential infrastructure of the 21st century and funded it at billions of USD/EUR as opposed to tiny grants here and there, the "fediverse" model of interconnected, self-governing communities would become the norm, not the exception.

I’m just a girl signing up at Mastodon to talk about Twitter
It's not algorithms per se that make Twitter bad, it's non-transparent algorithms that exist to serve a business model. We can build algorithms that are open, and user-tunable, with sensible defaults that encourage better behavior.
There are so many obvious shortcomings on Mastodon that are cast as advantages. The idea that not having a basic, table stakes search feature will prevent harassment is just silly. "If we keep Mastodon unusable, no one will join, and it won't become Twitter." Maddening.
Guten Morgen ihr Lieben.
Ich habe mir einen kleinen Mastodon-Exklusiv-Content überlegt. Ihr könnt mir bis morgen 7.11. 10h hier jede Frage stellen und ich versuche sie zu beantworten (persönlich wie inhaltlich, solange nicht übergriffig, eh klar). Also: was wolltet ihr immer schon mal wissen?

The Mastodon momentum is remarkable and I think it can work very well, not as a full replacement for what Twitter has become but for certain communities and uses.

But even then, let me emphasize: learning from the past, resources, governance and accountability are no bad things.
