New users here, so I'll start regularly posting bits of Mastodon etiquette!

One thing that might be new is having to think about what privacy setting to use for your posts

For a lot of posts, you probably want Unlisted—not Public!

Unlisted posts go to your followers and they're boostable; off-topic posts are allowed and encouraged

Public posts go on the Local Timeline; and for scholar.social, Public posts should be "on topic" (topic is: academia, teaching, learning—if in doubt, use a CW)

Following a "Research through Design" practice, we describe our process for creating SUBMERGED, we synthesize some critical insights from our experience

Do you guys realize there’s a planet in our solar system entirely inhabited by robots?

Never ask a grad student:

* How's the thesis coming?
* When are you done? / When did you start?
* What will you do after you graduate?

If there's news, THEY'LL TELL YOU

Tired: publish

Wired: perish

Inspired: an alternative system of organization which emphasizes process over result, where the pursuit of knowledge steers efforts in a sustained, long-term manner across the board, rather than the frantic scramble to live up to arbitrary numbers and estimates implied in that terrible work slogan

Starting a review of a paper and realized I am Reviewer #2 in the review system.

Well, that really changes everything, doesn’t it?

#IAmReviewer2

This is terrifying
