Robert W. Gehl's latest activity

It's happening! My book about Mastodon and the fediverse is now entering the production phase!

My editor at Oxford is asking what sort of cover image I would like. Any suggestions? Boosts appreciated!

More about the book here:

@kissane and @darius have published a major new report about governance on the fediverse:

fediverse-governance.github.io

I had the pleasure of seeing an early draft -- the final result is even stronger! It's going to be a key document for fedi admins and moderators.

My friend @seanlawson (who is not particularly active here) says we need to re-brand as organic, artisanal academics who hand-craft our research

@darius @caseyboyle

About a decade ago, Casey and I had the idea of writing papers predicting terrible futures for the academy.

He helped me come up with ResearchFlow:

It was a joke company that promised to let academics install "theoryPaksTM" into their word processors to automate writing.

And of course let admins see how productive faculty were.

The future is now, apparently.

@dansup So can individual Pixelfed.social users unblock Threads, even though the instance has a block in place?

@darius I'm on board with drawing on Galloway's Protocol, BTW. That was a big influence on my dissertation.
