I feel like it would be an interesting learning tool cuz I learn a ton on here and it gets me writing without anyone having to hold a gun to my head. I mean like even essay-length or at least essay-worthy treatments of things I respond to in longer-form, and even for the shorter-form stuff

    It’s still a nice idea, we briefly talked about starting our own instance for !ubc@lemmy.ca (run the same way as the subreddit)

    I do think universities should run their own fediverse instances. Mastodon is an obvious one and I’m pretty sure my school is still trying to figure out how to move forward after the twitter nonsense. An events platform would be another good step
