Personally, I have been thinking about the possibilities of creating an alternative feed for Micro.Blog without the heading.
Hi Aaron,
I’ve got a snippet in my functions.php that removes titles from posts categorised as micro that have less than 280 characters in the content. That could be adapted. It is number 6 in the gist. Some of the other functions in the list are a bit out of date.

Looks like a fascinating read. I didn’t find an expert. I find I learn to notice with a hint. I’ve walking same bits of countryside for years. Recently I’ve got my eye in for lizards. I see more & more basking or wriggling in the grass. #tds1856

Interesting way of getting the big links.
So what is Hey Pressto! (http://2020.heypresstoconf.org) #HeyPresstoConf20 ? Well here's some information!
More in the thread. Sounds like a great conference. @pgogy has prior: PressED – A WordPress and Education, Pedagogy and Research Conference on Twitter
You either practice social distancing or you don’t. This is exactly the vague ambiguity that Westminster has been guilty of. And, up and until now, mostly resisted in Scotland. If you practise social distancing you plan around it, instead of enacting a policy of wishful thinking https://twitter.com/Emma_Seith/status/1286297934607327239
I was disappointed by being “free to choose” to wear a mask or not. I don’t have the knowledge or understanding to make that decision. It also seems it would be better if everyone did same thing? I’ve been reassured by Scot Gov decisiveness & clarity so far…
Definitely part of it. But I think it’s also the culture of these digital tools. Free to use for teachers. And they offer and promise a lot. But, ethically, this is incredibly problematic. Says the man currently tweeting on an iPhone! Feels like there was more open source before
Personally I like open source & I like paying for software (hopefully I pay for FOSS by using, bug reporting & sharing). I’ve no problem tweeting from an iPhone I paid for. More problematic Is how I “pay for” twitter.
You really should follow Ben. Reading his research strongly influenced the way I currently about EdTech. Quick adoption of new ‘free’ tools can be a dangerous path to tread. I have been guilty of this in the past. Beware of shiny digital buttons!
Always worth thinking about what “free” means. I think there is something in the idea of teachers exploring software, finding possibilities, testing & playing with pupils and evaluating. As opposed to using software designed for education by big tech.
