Hi Nagarjuna,

Thanks for sharing - great to see the OER fedverse growing in all parts of
the world. Indeed, ActivityPub will become increasingly important for
education institutions promoting decentralized and fedarated services.

Nice one!

learning opportunities, and this is why we have set up an OERu 
instance  of the Mastodon software.


Wayne, it is a wonderful initiative.

Another important reason for using mastadon is it is one of the first 
popular social networking platform that supports the new open standard 
of W3C called ActivityPub. 


We have created a Mastadon site for Indian OER users at

As a federated technology there are many different instances and communities 
you can join with the advantage of being able to interact with users on 
difference instances.

If you need a little help in setting up an account and finding out how Mastodon 
works - you can consult the OERu support 
site.

Happy tooting!

Cheers

[WikiEducator] Mastodon social network instance set up for OERu

Hi everyone

The OER Foundation has set up a Mastodon instance
 which is a federated and open source social
networking alternative.  (This short video 
provides a good overview of what Mastodon is.)

At the OERu, we do not want any learner to be forced to use any proprietary
hosted technologies in order to participate in our learning opportunities,
and this is why we have set up an OERu instance 
of the Mastodon software.

It's primarily intended to support OERu learners rather than forcing
learners to join, services like Twitter. Most conversations on our instance
will be focused on OERu and OER related topics, however as open technology,
WikiEducator users are free and most welcome to create accounts on our
instance (thanks Steve Foerster for suggesting that I post this
announcement on the WikiEd list).

As a federated technology there are many different instances and
communities you can join with the advantage of being able to interact with
users on difference instances.

If you need a little help in setting up an account and finding out how
Mastodon works - you can consult the OERu support site
.

Happy tooting!

Cheers
