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 !ubc@lemmy.ca (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?
