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

Another poll in the series ... you can check more than one response, and if you've got other suggestions please leave them in the replies.
@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/

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
@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!

@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?

@sam @hollie @Matt_Noyes @CaitlinWaddick @edumerco @dphiffer @django @ktoddbrown @MarieVC Thanks Sam! I forgot about federation making you miss hashtags. And i should look into alerting rules
