CommunityData:Blog and social media

From CommunityData

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 a tweet where (a) the text of the tweet is the title of the blog post and (b) a link to the blog post is provided. Because of our Twitter/Fediverse setup, anything posted on Twitter will be automatically posted on our Fediverse account as well.

Twitter

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

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

  • 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".
  • Warning: Material is automatically cross-posted between Twitter and the Fediverse. See the #Fediverse / Twitter bridge section below.

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.
  • Warning: Material is automatically cross-posted between Twitter and the Fediverse. See the #Fediverse / Twitter bridge section below.

Fediverse / Twitter Bridge

By default, anything posted on Twitter (not including retweets or quote retweets) will be posted onto the Fediverse. And vice versa. This is being handled by the web service moa.party.

  • If you do not want to crosspost, you should include the hashtag #noxp or #nomoa in your tweet or toot. That's it.
  • If you want to disable and/or change things, you will need access to the Fediverse account and the Twitter account. Once you have those, you should be able to just log into https://moa.party which will use OAuth to connect to both sites.
