@ml Ooh, that sounds like fun! I’m in 🤩

@tanyakaroli Yay! I love watching it. I hope to go in person one day, but it's fun watching the webcast and sharing with others online.

@ml we should have a hashtag for it, then! #IgNobel2026 ?

@tanyakaroli I think plain #IgNobel is fine. It's shorter to type (and live tooting has to be fast to keep up).

@tanyakaroli I think I did #IgNobelPrize in the past, but shorter is better.

@ml Perfect! I have put it in my calendar and will watch as much as I can (am on a writing retreat then, and we will have dinner together around that time—but hopefully my colleagues will join the fun!)

@tanyakaroli 👍

@ml I don't know what a watch party is but I love these prizes and want to see them be awarded

@withinity Well, online it's just generally making a date to watch it live and "live toot" it with the hashtag #IgNobel

Just sharing the experience virtually if we don't live near someplace having a meatspace watch party.

@withinity I've live tooted it alone or with a few others in past years.

Oh, as I'm not using Mastodon, I'm not supposed to take part? 🙄

@fasnix You don't need to roll your eyes at me. I mentioned Mastodon because that's where I am tooting. I have no idea which parts of the Fediverse can see this or not and if you find that somehow reprehensible, you're spending time seeking out a fight to have.

@ml@ecoevo.social
I don't want any "fight" at all.
Ydu're right about you writing it via a Mastdodon software.
However, you cannot know, on which software anyone is reading your message.

So, writing "here on the fediverse" would be more inclusive and welcoming, imho.
