@Hawaii hmm I know about #asstodon and @owlsintowels but not sure if there's a #gerbildon or ratsInHats account (etc) yet. Then again it's probably only a matter of time!

@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... -

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

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.

@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.

@ansate @hollie @edumerco @CaitlinWaddick @dphiffer @django @sam @ktoddbrown @MarieVC
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. I'll write up the results later this month.
@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

@thenexusofprivacy Birds.

@thenexusofprivacy Accurate, weird information about things I didn't know I would care about.
@mildlyunreasonable great phrasing!

@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
