Conference Tooting Community Standard

Conference tooting is the Mastodon equivalent of tweeting at and about conferences, particularly scientific content of those meetings, where commonly a meeting conference hashtag is is used. This creates an online discussion sphere where the topic of the meeting can be discussed. Normally, participants of the meeting only use the hashtag.

Because the 'local timeline' of can get crowded quickyl, the Mastodon platform has various mechanisms to reduce the flood of that timeline, putting focus on seeds. This has implications how we tweet conferences. This Mastodon server expects the following behavior:

  1. you are encouraged to toot conferences; include the meeting hashtag in each toot
  2. toots including the hashtag can all be public; this allows people to find your toots when searching by the meeting hashtag
  3. tooting links to presentation slidedecks, articles, and other research output is strongly encouraged
  4. regular server rules apply to the toot with respect for Content Warnings, image descriptions, etc
