Finding/Following CDSC social media accounts


Administration and posting

Group Blog

Our blog lives at blog.communitydata.science.

  • To get a user account, ask an existing group member (Mako and Aaron can definitely help, but most others can too).
  • To sign-in to the administrative/editing interface, go to: blog.communitydata.science/wp-admin.
  • The blog is set up to automatically post on Mastodon with a simple message that includes: (a) the title of the blog post and (b) a link to the blog post. You will need to make posts to Twitter manually.
  • Our (approximate) schedule lives here.

Twitter

Our Twitter account is: https://twitter.com/comdatasci

If you want to post things on Twitter, delete things from Twitter, live things on Twitter, etc, you can do so by:

  • Getting access to account... Most of you with Twitter accounts will already have access to the group Twitter account through Tweetdeck. If you don't yet, you need to having access delegated to your account. Ask on IRC for help. Mako and Aaron can definitely help but most other can too!
  • Log into: https://tweetdeck.twitter.com
  • Post messages should be relatively straight forward. You might need to right click and or "..." click in order to access features like "like from account".
  • If you need to access the Twitter account directly, there is a 2FA setup but Mako set it up so that it uses a key that we can use from the Linux commandline with oathtool -b --totp MAGICCODE. You'll need the magic code, of course. Mako has it and he sent it to the other faculty (Aaron and Jeremy) on Signal on September 28, 2023.

Fediverse (social.coop)

Our Fediverse home is: https://social.coop/@communitydata

  • If you need access, you will need the password. Contact Mako for the password.

Youtube

The CDSC Youtube channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp30xPnzVktEvwEMW6h2eTA

This Youtube account is a "brand account" which is a special kind of Youtube-only Google account that has shared account access from a range of other Google accounts.

All the faculty should have access to the account. If you want access and don't have it, you should contact a faculty member at your institution and they should be add you at this URL: https://myaccount.google.com/brandaccounts

There are really only two main things we would need access to the account for:

Uploading videos
This is pretty self-explanatory. Once the video is published, it will show up in our group channel.
Adding other videos to our channel page
Because videos can only be in one channel, it can't actually be in our channel if we don't upload video. That said, if there is some other video (e.g., added by a conference or a department or something), we can still add it to the page by first adding to a special playlist which is shown on that page. To do this we need to: (a) log into the brand account in the normal "switch accounts" way and then (b) right click on the three dots icon on a video and click "add to playlist" and then click the "Other CDSC videos" list.

Once we hit 100 subscribers we get to choose a custom URL. Don't forget to like and subscribe!
