Could Lemmy be used as a classroom tool (like having a classroom's own instance) (lemmy.world)

I feel like it would be an interesting learning tool cuz I learn a ton on here and it gets me writing without anyone having to hold a gun to my head. I mean like even essay-length or at least essay-worthy treatments of things I respond to in longer-form, and even for the shorter-form stuff

Ya I forgot about its all anonymous. I don't see how that wouldn't free up everyone to participate without worrying about being tied to anything necessarily. At the very least, using for an after-school homework tool might work

It's still a nice idea, we briefly talked about starting our own instance for [email protected] (run the same way as the subreddit)

I do think universities should run their own fediverse instances. Mastodon is an obvious one and I'm pretty sure my school is still trying to figure out how to move forward after the twitter nonsense. An events platform would be another good step

How dialectical does Mastodon come across? How deep can discussions get in terms of nesting/indentation?
