The first post of 2026 on the Alternative Social Media Researchers Blog is live! It's by @jjsylvia@mastodon.social 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. https://www.socialmediaalternatives.org/2026/01/12/teaching-mastodon.html Replies to this post will appear as comments on the blog. #Mastodon #pedagogy #alternativeSocialMedia
