Reasons for optimism at the turn of the year: reflections on the fediverses, the ATmosphere, and whatever comes next

@thenexusofprivacy
I voted for the things I'm predominantly more interested in, but really, I'm interested in almost all of it. Don't care about sports, but the rest of it... -
@thenexusofprivacy Rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, rats, mice, and other little friends
There is a very unused #RodentsOfMastodon tag. I’m sure how to revive it as I don’t have rodents to contribute but maybe some hype so others use it.
Edit to correct hashtag spelling

@Hawaii
And probably RabbitsOf, BunniesOf, MiceOf, etc. -
What are you looking for in social media? (3/N)
The first in a series of polls ... you can check more than one response, and if you've got other suggestions please leave them in the replies.
@thenexusofprivacy @josemurilo
I ticked 3, 5 and 10 but mostly it’s a space for seeking solace at what we’re doing

@thenexusofprivacy Small note: We have #AcademicChatter. Not as big as AcademicTwitter but we have lots of academics and scientists here.

@thenexusofprivacy Build them, and they will come. @Hawaii @owlsintowels
@Tooden This. And we have Fedigroups - everbody can make one! https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/

@raederle Perhaps it's unused because of the spelling? #RodentsOfMastodon You find more at #rodents and #RatsOfFediverse.

Could we use groups to: a) communicate privately and or publicly within working groups? b) create an opt-in social.coop members only group?
Do we already use this, and I just didn't know ;-)? Do you already use this feature elsewhere? -

We migrated to Zulip for private conversations last summer. Are you on Zulip? -

@thenexusofprivacy I come here mostly to listen to experts talk truthfully about current affairs, without the pressure of 'bling'.

It's not just a rhetorical question, I really am curious!
You can respond with a reply to this post, via the pol.is conversation here, or -- if you're on fedi -- in the polls below.
@thenexusofprivacy no algorithms.

Seems like you can create a group there, accept members, who follow it, then posts to that address notify followers. Maybe I will set one up for fun and see how it works.

@Matt_Noyes @CaitlinWaddick @hollie @edumerco @dphiffer @django @sam @ktoddbrown @MarieVC Fwiw, my understanding is that fedi groups basically boost things that mention them, not an alert. You would get the same effect (non privately) from following a hashtag. Also since they work by boosting, i don’t think you can have private groups

What are you looking for in social media? (9/9, for now)
Whew, that's a lot of polls. But I'm sure there are options I didn't include, feel free to make suggestions in the responses! And if you're looking for another way to respond, check out the pol.is conversation in the post at https://privacy.thenexus.today/what-are-you-looking-for-on-social-media/
The polls are open for the next ... after that, I'll write up the results -- along with (in at least some cases) suggestions about where to find what you're looking for.
@thenexusofprivacy Accurate, weird information about things I didn't know I would care about.

@ansate @Matt_Noyes @CaitlinWaddick @edumerco @dphiffer @django @sam @ktoddbrown @MarieVC My understanding is the same, I don't think there's a way to make it private. Can Bonfire do that?

@hollie @ansate @Matt_Noyes @CaitlinWaddick @edumerco @dphiffer @django @ktoddbrown @MarieVC I use them for a few other things (#BikeNite, mostly). They're always public, but the benefit over hashtags is that you get *every* post to the group, even if you're not normally federated with the server of the user who posts it. You can also use alerting rules (ie. always show a notification when this user posts or what not) which I don't think you can do with hash tags

I think that is, using circles.But don't we have already zulip for this?
