@bit101@imbl I first came across this site a couple of years ago. At the time, the site itself was much less informative about who was behind the initiative, but even at the time it smelled fishy, and I suspected that the main point was actually to help AI rather than humans. This thread confirms it, so I guess it's time to update my write-up at the time with a link to this thread.
I'm #StillInBrussels. I had planned to take an extra day for our first in-person meeting of the Social Web Working Group, but that fell through. Which is good, because I have a tonne of homework to do for Network Science. Tomorrow I'm free and I'm going to Antwerp for a day trip, then off to London for #ProtocolsForPublishers.
@inquiline the student loved hearing about #flosstodon. He, a white cis man, has a career as a musician and lyricist and is in both my classes this term, where he contributes sensitively in a milieu (course on what it means to study our imperially-entangled discipline on unsurrendered land, centring Indigenous ways of knowing and bringing these two into conversation) where classroom climate is everything.
@imbl Nice info. I ran across this site a while ago and got interested, but didn't like what I saw there and backed away didn't catch on to all this though.
@CiaraNi these are the best. A point in time and place that can trap me for hours, possibly forever. so I'm torn: lucky I wasn't there to get trapped, but also I love it when the universe does these things, it's a power-up for the soul.
