@Willow Hey look! You're in my facebook feed! https://octodon.social/media/Ozu2ciV0RqUQA0yhJFU
Well, I've got this chrome extension to the point where I'd rather leave it enabled than disabled. Progress!
Taking a break from facebook. How's you, mastodon friends?

So I haven't done very much with SeltzerCRM (free/open-source member management for hackerspaces) in the past couple years. But people are still using it and some of the other developers are still active. Wondering if it would be interesting to anyone if I gave a talk about it at LibrePlanet.
Giving a talk next week: "Simulating Wikipedia: Modeling peer production as networked social learning" https://www.si.umich.edu/events/201711/iar-seminar-ed-platt

Welcome to mastodon @anjuli and @tzacatzac
Thinking about moving to social.coop. What's the best way to transition between mastodon instances?
Happy Monday evening, mastodon.
Digging through obscure papers to figure out if anyone has already come up with terminology this extremely esoteric network property I'm interested in.
Happy Sunday, mastodon.
