@thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange @SusanOML@theforkiverse.com @Casey@theforkiverse.com @kevin@theforkiverse.com @pj@theforkiverse.com These are the guidelines set forth by SAMSHA for Trauma-informed Care in service organizations. However, the principles are inclusive of any group trying to create an intentional community. This is what I rely on for designing my classes. As you can see, they align with Mastodon values. Safety, Trustworthiness and Transparency, Peer Support, Collaboration and Mutuality, Empowerment, Voice and Choice, Cultural, Historical, and Gender Issues

@Casey@theforkiverse.com @kevin@theforkiverse.com @pj@theforkiverse.com You can’t make people do that but you can design a space that inclines people in that direction. The forkiverse is generally self selective in that way, I believe, but I think it can be even better with a little effort. fin #Forkiverse

@Casey@theforkiverse.com @kevin@theforkiverse.com @pj@theforkiverse.com This addresses the “make this go viral” admonishment that pj got earlier. In my opinion, that is why most of social media is garbage. It’s just a free for all in most online environments. What trauma-informed practices and community building boil down to — and forgive me for my academic jargon — is giving a shit about the people around you. 3/4 #Forkiverse

@Casey@theforkiverse.com @kevin@theforkiverse.com @pj@theforkiverse.com I specifically examined whether creating a safeish online learning community was possible. It is. However, this rarely, if ever, happens arbitrarily. What I learned in my research is that it is possible to create this space with some work. There are ways to design an environment like this intentionally. If you want it to be different then you need to take a different approach to building it. 2/4 #forkiverse

@Casey@theforkiverse.com @kevin@theforkiverse.com @pj@theforkiverse.com Was listening to the podcast today and hearing pj express the wish to develop the forkiverse into a thriving community, it hit me that I am a real, live expert in community building and that I might have something to contribute here. My phd is in ed tech and learning design, and I wrote my dissertation on trauma informed-practices in online learning. Trauma-informed practices are informed by relationships and in a group setting involve connection with community 1/4 #Forkiverse
