Hi all, since fediphilosophy.org is shutting down, I've decided to take my talents to social.coop New intro for the new instance: I'm a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. I research ethics, metaethics, and philosophy of perception. In my free time I do anti-apartheid, anti-occupation, and (now) anti-genocide activism in Israel/Palestine, where I live. I'm originally from the US (Wisconsin). #philosophy #academia #activism #introduction #israel #palestine

I have a dumb question about the fediverse. Suppose someone makes their own personal instance. Federation is opt-in? So they have to click a button for each of the seemingly thousands of mastodon instances to get them on their "global" feed? Or it's opt out, so they start with a hellscape of Nazi instances and have to remove them one by one? And do the other instances have to also opt in? Are the admins of every instance needing to do something every time a new instance comes online?

Hi, academics, I have a question that is somewhat important for understanding the treatment of some untenured folks at a university. This question is specifically aimed for academics who are working in a country where they are not citizens: How much, if any, assistance did/does your university provide with your necessary visa requirements? (I was going to do a poll but its probably too fine-grained of answers.)Please share if relevant!#academia #academicchatter #academics #academic

@stux I was thinking about doing that - have you gotten any feedback (positive or negative)?
