The first post of 2026 on the Alternative Social Media Researchers Blog is live! It's by @jjsylviaDouble J and it presents a syllabus of a course in social media ethics. The course uses a classroom instance of Mastodon to work through ethical issues in digital media.

Teaching Mastodon: Ethics, Moderation, and the Work of Participation

NB: This post is we hope the first of several which discusses the use of alternative social media in the classroom. In this post, ASM Research Network member JJ Sylvia IV discusses teaching Mastodon in a social media ethics course at Fitchburg State University.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://sciences.social/users/altsocialmedianet/statuses/115888227913946469 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)

Interesting, Mastodon/fediverse as a teaching/learning tool.

"In the second week of the course, students were asked to compare the moderation policies of one mainstream social media site and a Mastodon instance of their choosing, other than our class instance."
