Agreed, it makes a better community, as we can interact with a much wider and diverse community.

It's amazing how on Mastodon even with 1/10th of followers I get way more comments and meaningful interactions on my posts. I feel that no algorithms deciding who gets to see what really makes a difference.

Indeed, my argument those teachers who make excuses like this in effect condone child rape / sex assault should be on the sex offenders register,.

Would make em think twice.

Child safeguarding is paramount so add said individual who committed crime to the sex offenders register, would be a major wake up call having,for the rest of your life disclose your offence committed at 15/16 +

There is some odd policy to remove crime records at 18, this has to be an exception due to back ground checks.

This is fine in some cases, but not in the case of sexual or violent offences.

@bryankam

Makes life a little easier and it can pick up unclosed tags for example.

You can still download projects for offline use, lots of templates which are really useful

@zleap Ahh very cool, I love LaTeX but have not tried Overleaf

@rataflechera Yeajh and there is always that one package that isn't installed if done manually.

Plus overleaf take care of the updates. I got upgraded my account near the start of the academic year so can have 10 collaborators, which could be handy.

@zleap I've found it very convenient for my current limited usage of LaTeX, not having to keep installing the whole pack in every machine and nice for collaboration.

@BabsSheKing @stux

According to the panorama programme one girl was raped, the person responsible was jailed (well youth jail) then ALLOWED back in to the school when the victim was still there

Another example from the website is that they didn't want to take a prefect badge away from a YP who committed sexual assault as it would affect his future.

Thankfully we have moved on from the first example BUT it this is still happening.

Not sure if can keep blaming the internet, end of the day it is the parents job to parent their kids not the job of the Internet.

On a side topic, interesting report on the BBC I think suggesting that this economic crisis is impacting kids pester power, so parents are having to say NO.

My new Mastodon app ‘Mammoth’ is now ready to beta test.

If you’ve found that all the Mastodon apps out there currently haven’t been great, you’re in luck. 😏

Looks like I might just hit 30K followers in the next 3 days or so at current rates... Who wants to have a beer to celebrate?

@gcluley

Try adding a few interest tags e.g
for example, the topics you're interested in.

Migrated from Twitter to Mastodon but finding it hard to find the folks you used to follow?

Fedifinder can help. fedifinder.glitch.me

Cool tool for finding your old Twitter buddies that have moved to Mastodon (and what you can do on your Twitter account to help others find you here)

Please reblog/boost to spread the word. (Liking/Favouriting won’t help)

Free book!

I haven't read this (yet) -- it has just been published -- but the topic is compelling at first glance it certainly seems worth a look. Also it is Open Access, so why not check it out?

How about courses in hosting federated social networks such as etc
@joinmastodon @joinpeertube

Get the skills for when the fediverse really takes off and makes FB, Twitter go the way of the DoDo.

#introduction Well hello Mastodon! Having a look around, very nice, very nice. I very much like the ‘Toot!’ button 😄

@freemo

Just joined the labs programme so that may be a good way to reach them.

@freemo

I wonder if we can get them on the Fediverse. There are enough science people here.
