Today was the day I attended my first ever #KeepBadgesWeird community call.

With the wonderful @epilepticrabbit as host.

@aral
I was so … sad today when I learned that #KeepBadgesWeird uses Medium.

I hope I can have a conversation with them this year to learn about the motivation and whether a change would be possible.

So ePIC 2022 in October was... epic and now the talk recordings are live. Here's @dajb talking about #KeepBadgesWeird 🤘

Just read this "Tim Berners-Lee's “Oh, Yeah?” button could have changed the internet" and was thinking about #openbadges the entire time. Trust is such an interesting concept to explore algorithmically. #keepbadgesweird cc @dajb @AnneKanne

What #MastodonSkills have you found that would make a good learning pathway to orient those being introduced to the platform this month? #keepbadgesweird

Just published a post on how to be a great moderator (from the tactics POV, not the "don't be a jerk" POV) #keepbadgesweird #community #moderation https://blog.weareopen.coop/how-to-be-a-great-moderator-4be4a30b920b

Do you have a #podcast? I'd like to come on your podcast to talk about #OpenRecognition and #VerifiableCredentials. This was a great episode of the Speexx Exchange podcast with Donald H Taylor last year, but there's so many other things I want to make sure the world is up to speed about #KeepBadgesWeird!

recorded a podcast yesterday about #openbadges and #keepbadgesweird. This morning, curious with a dash of exactitude, I read this thing I wrote 11 years ago. It's called "Being loud about badges" https://www.laurahilliger.com/models/being-loud-about-badges/

Just shared a couple posts with the #keepbadgesweird community and am hoping someone gets excited - this advocacting for #openrecognition piece needs more brain-power :) https://app.participate.com/communities/keep-badges-weird/62003f3f-a7ba-4f6a-990a-64d6f893016d/announcements/829b365d-a3e8-42de-a552-2ee1b71a221c
