Working with the great folks at Tremau, we launched the first of our regulatory guidance materials.

“There may come a time when we—#students, #faculty, #administrators, #artists, and parents—will have to fight hard for #education, fight hard for uncorrupted #science (not the ideological or racist science); for sound social #history, apolitical anthropology (not strategies of #control); for the #integrity of #art (not its celebrity).

There may indeed come a time when #universities may have to fight for the privilege of #intellectual #freedom.”

For #Fediverse #Administrators after the last spam run we learned that the following instances have been abandoned by their owners. Feel free to suspend them if you haven't done so yet.

kitsui.life
transforthe.win
indiegameskey.net
seda.social
cryptodon.lol

There were other instances involved but their administrators replied to me, and have taken action. Closing their instances completely or did the wise thing and removed open registration.

#Meldepflichten bei #Cyberangriffen sind wichtig – doch was passiert, wenn sich #Cyberkriminelle diese ebenso als #Erpressungsmittel zunutze machen? In der aktuellen Ausgabe des IT-#Administrators klären wir darüber auf, welche Meldepflichten nach deutschem #Recht auch jenseits von #NIS2 und #KRITIS bestehen, warum es wichtig ist, diese zu erfüllen – und was passieren kann, wenn man diesen Pflichten nicht nachkommt: https://intrapol.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Artikel_Recht_ITA0424.pdf

@hannu_ikonen What you are seeing is Conservative and pro-Israel groups #weaponizing #policeviolence and #Politicalpressure on #university #administrators aimed at #trampling on #student's #constitutionalrights.

They are using pro-#genocide #propaganda and #misinformation to try to shape the public narrative.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Russia wasn't involved somewhere in there by fomenting discord in the US to distract from their actions in Ukraine.

Are you an Microsoft 365 Administrator interested in learning how to deploy, manage & support "Copilot for Microsoft 365"?

What if I had instruction for such a course video recorded with written docs & available for FREE?

Die Administratoren von Mastodon Social beschweren sich, wenn man potentiell antisemitische Accounts meldet. Es waren übrigens 2-3 Accounts, die ich heute gemeldet habe. Nicht wirklich viele.

Aber die administrative Arbeit von Admins und Moderatoren scheint selbigen vielleicht zu viel zu sein.

Und vielleicht sollte man noch einmal ANTISEMITISMUS nachschlagen. Ich bin zunehmend von der Firma Mastodon Social enttäuscht ...

#Mastodon #administrators @Mastodon the instance I operate uses a different web access address (mastodon.faithtree.social) than its fediverse address which skips the subdomain. I'm migrating to a new server and would like to simplify by dropping the subdomain, since it throws off some Fediverse tools. Is this possible without messing everything up?

In the year 2023, I'm very grateful for #mastodon #administrators around the world and their investments in a vision of advertising free #socialmedia !
#fediverse
Donate to your instance for the growth and expansion of this vision in 2024.
#thankyou

"Faculty don’t need bosses to do their work: they can #teach their classes and conduct their #research without any interventions, thank you very much. And, there’s no reason why #democratic self-governance and confederation can’t facilitate all #university decision-making. But, #administrators often convince themselves that the faculty are “out of control” and require discipline, which they are more than happy to offer."

Well, it has been exactly one year since joining the #Mastodon and the #Fediverse, and I'm glad I did.

It should go without saying that certainly don't doomscroll anymore, but rather get inspiration and hope.

I see so much more grassroots organisation, non-corporate posts, and genuine in-depth discussion without trolls.

I truly enjoy it.

Thank you to all the #Moderators #Administrators and #Developers

A culture of mutual respect and listening on #college campuses doesn’t appear magically: some suggestions for making #highereducation a haven for #FreeSpeech #FirstAmendment for #students, #faculty, #administrators and lawmakers. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/08/opinion/israel-war-colleges.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
