One recurring challenge for folks new to Mastodon? Posting animated GIFs. Here is my workaround. I hope it’s useful to you, especially if you are new due to #TwitterMigration #Education #EdTech #EduTooter @edutooters https://www.mguhlin.org/2022/11/posting-animatedgifs-on-mastodon.html

@lucifargundam People using the stock Mastodon app on their smartphone/tablets aren't able to upload animated GIFs. No one told them to install MetaText or Tusky to get around that. :-)

@freemo @Romaq is this why Crossposter won’t work?

@freemo @Gargron @trinsec @khird As an educator (a human being) on qoto.org, of course, I'm opposed to abuse of children (and adults or animals). I'd hate to see qoto.org banned and not available at a time when I'm encouraging thousands of educators to come here. I haven't encountered anything inappropriate in my time here. My response? Do whatever is necessary to send that message and be reasonable about actions taken when necessary.

When you boost anything (such as #politics), how do you add content warning to a boost that didn’t have a CW to start with? #Mastodon #ContentWarnings? And another question is “How come suggested hashtags aren’t in CamelCase?”

This is a fascinating read…and worth the time to explore. It covers a lot I had not considered or even knew being a latecomer. #TwitterMigration #Mastodon #Whiteness #BlackTwitter #harassmentThe Whiteness of Mastodon https://techpolicy.press/the-whiteness-of-mastodon/“Being queer does not insulate one cell from the inheritance of whiteness, although one can use one’s queerness as a shield from critique, as many Mastodonians have used by presenting the history of Mastodon as grounded in queer folks attempts to avoid the harassment on Twitter….…Mastodon..will never be able to support a robust community of color like Black Twitter.It might do so by virtue of creating, say, a Black instance. But that …risks ghettoizing the Black community in a federated space. All of the Black people go here and instances have the option of engaging with them or deeding from them…You need to think about the very real dangers of a federated structure in a society organized around white supremacy. You could easily have an entire instance of right-wing white supremacists pop up that would engage in targeted harassment of users of color.”

A question for #Mastodon instance admins from a skeptical educator who refuses to leave Twitter because she doesn’t understand why. So I thought I would ask on her behalf, then share the responses with her: “I reallywant your opinion on thisplatform. Since someone hasto pay for the “server”, I amwondering what the host getsback.”What do you say, admins? #Edtech #education #Altruism #TwitterMigration

“These ministers . . . strip the love of God of its beauty, and leave the throng of religion a huge, horrible, repulsive form. It is a religion for oppressors, tyrants, man-stealers, and thugs. It is not that ‘pure and undefiled religion’ which is from above.” -Frederick Douglass (such a smart, wise person) @bookstodon #Religion #ChristianNationalism #uspol https://www.mguhlin.org/2022/07/mynotes-christians-against-christanity.html via @oberyhendricks (author)

#ClimateScam: denialism claims flooding Twitter have scientists worriedthere was a “renewed energy” coursing through the effort to spread baseless claims about the climate crisis on Twitter, particularly by high-profile accounts that fold the issue into other major clashes, such as over abortion or LGBTQ+ rights.https://flip.it/kQ00nQ

I was NOT able to get this process to work. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong (probable) or that Qoto blocks it. Either way, not working. I may have to try this on a different instance to find out. Anyone else had success scheduling Mastodon posts? BTW, this is a great walkthrough the process (even if I can’t replicate results).How to #schedule a #Mastodon post https://www.techhelpkb.com/schedule-a-mastodon-post/#Mastodon #Tutorial

ABOUT ME #Introduction #TwitterMigration Howdy! So glad to be here with you all! Miguel Guhlin here from #Texas. I’m a Director of #ProfessionalDevelopment in #EdTech with #BilingualEducation Certification. I have served as a District Technology Director and Instructional Tech Director. Not afraid to Boost.My Mastodon tutorials and videos appear here: https://go.mgpd.org/feditootsI am an #EduBlogger at Around the Corner at http://mguhlin.org, and TCEA.org TechNotes Blog athttps://blog.tcea.orgYou can find some of my work designing/maintaining online courses at https://courses.tcea.orgSome of my hashtags for your consideration:#EduTooter #EduTooters #EduBlogger #education #EdTech #EdChat #TxEd #teacher #science #philosophy #Epictetus #Stoic #dogs #Writer #Books #Westerns #SciFi #CyberSecurity #WordPress #LearnDash #iOS #TCEA #ScienceOfReading #InstructionalDesign #K12 #OER #FOSS #STEM #GoogleEdu #CTO #TechnologyDirector #Texas #LaParranda #Panama #introduction #introductions #infosecPRONOUNS Allow me to share this perspective as a Panamanian who was raised in the Canal Zone and then came to the United States when he was 10 years old to attend private, Catholic schools until high school graduation. It was a sheltered upbringing, by design of course by loving parents. Still, I want to be clear about something often taken for granted.I cannot support hatred of individuals. I do not accept skin color or LGBTQ+ as a reason for poor treatment of other people. This has never been more needed, especially in education and online spaces like this one, given the level of hate and bias.Being who you are should not result in blind bias or hatred. I reject that and the frames that people have adopted that result in such hate.As a Latinx who grew up in the Republic of Panama and then Texas, I have my own perspective.My own identity as a cisgender (he/him/his), a bilingual/bicultural speaker, a person caught between two cultures, I have not suffered the slings and arrows of bias, prejudice that I can only ally with, including #Black #LGBTQ+ #IndigenousPeoples.Since I speak and write in Standard English, I enjoy a level of white privilege due to my skin color (from my Swedish father) and my last name (“Guhlin” is Swedish, not Latino), I know that my life experience does not give me the authority to speak in more certain terms.So, I offer my perspective in this space in a tentative way, and hope that I can learn with and from others.
