IDF.social is your home if you know:
\[
\textit{idf} = - \log \frac{n_t}{N}
\]
and... everyone else!

Dear all,
For now, I will keep the site closed for registrations; but everyone can independently invite people to join using the following link to generate an invite:
If you know someone who wants to join this instance, then please do give them an invite!
Consider the instance open for those who know anyone on IDF.social.
"Sense of community" and an initial seed of some 40 IR researchers should be enough to keep those spammers out of here and still grow the club!

@djoerd what do you think, will he have read up on REDDE after the exam?
Cultuurstrijd, maar dan niet op gelijke grond. Een vermeende strijd vol met (veelal ontoereikende) (nep-)argumenten en mensen die het woord chronisch niet kunnen spellen maar wel 2e kamerleden de les menen te moeten lezen. Maar dat is slechts die ruis. Het venijn zit 'm in de staart...
Goede column van Sheila Sitalsing: "Rookgordijn" (titel in de krant). Allemaal lezen mensen!
(Wat een week - lijkt soms echt wel jaren dertig vorige eeuw, zorgelijk.)

It's official - @mozilla@twitter.com is fully live on Matrix! http://exple.tive.org/blarg/2020/02/20/synchronous-messaging-were-live/ Helping get Mozilla going has been a lot of fun, and we'll see a lot of improvements to Riot's UX in the coming months based on their feedback (turns out they know quite a lot about FOSS usability :D)
