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
I don’t know about lemmy, probably woudn’t be good. But the Idea that there is an exclusive school social media that’s reddit-like, maybe with a few tweaks so that “admin”(teacher) posts don’t get spammed out, sounds wonderful. Kids can shitpost,
gossipand make connections much faster and easier. Not mentioning the fact that some introverts won’t even make new friends any other way, thinking about the “clinically-online” types.There are already several platforms that can do this, including open source ones like Moodle.
I remember moodle from my school. We barely used it because we all hated it, students and teachers. I’m sure it’s improved in the past 15 years though.
Can you, as a seemingly more recent student, comment on Lemmy’s application to this context?
