teh_aSak Hallo, @KASonline? Wie viel zahlt ihr so für ein Seminar? Ich als Teil der sogenannten "linksextremen Szene" habe großes Interesse daran, euch statt Gruselgeschichten über Linke ein paar Tatsachen zu präsentieren. Die Bezahlung käme auch einem guten Zweck zu. Ihr meldet euch? 😘
MittiLevel2 Hab noch nie jemanden "Ich bin kein Linker, aber..." sagen hören.

abhesrivas Asynchronous Q&A: every paper had a Q&A chatbox where everyone from absolute beginners to senior researchers could discuss their doubts with the authors. This led to, (a) non-repetitive questions, and (b) opportunity for beginners to read through the amazing discussions. (3/n)
abhesrivas Very accessible: there were active participants from a lot of countries in the middle-east, Africa, etc. A great number of first-timers with a sizeable chunk covered by undergraduates. #acl2020nlp (2/n)

tallinzen This should be the standard going forward IMO, but the process needs to be spread out over a much longer period of time. I find having to cram all of these videos in a couple of days to be quite stressful and not conducive to deep discussion.
tallinzen Preliminary thoughts about virtual ACL: having pre-recorded talks and chat rooms is a much better way to communicate and discuss papers than IRL conference talks/posters.
JuPi1948 Ich bin ein brasilianischer Faschistenführer und brauche eine neue Lunge. Der 21 Jährige Benedikt ist mein größter Fan und hat eine perfekte Lunge. Wir vereinbaren, dass ich, falls er stirbt, seine Lunge kriege. So kann er die Kommies episch ownen. Wo liegt jetzt das Problem?
zehavoc @yoavgo @SeeTedTalk @ani_nenkova someone suggested to have one virtual conference xCL every year out of all xCLs to reduce a) env impact b) visas problem and c) be more inclusive (many pp from underfunded institions/lab cannot afford the costs of attending a conf in japan or in the us)
I think we should do it.

dipanjand I am pleasantly surprised to see the detailed discussion in the various paper threads on RocketChat at #acl2020nlp. Some of these discussions could lead to follow up experiments and potential papers. This did not happen during in-person conferences in the past.

tesseralis Since coding/shitposting is pretty even… I think I'm going to code something shitpost-y. What thing should I code? A Twitter bot? A glitch app that tells you if today is 4/20? A reddit crawler that responds to 69 upvotes with "nice"? twitter.com/tesseralis/sta…
speakingG3 6. Use social media to promote not just your work but also that of others.
7. Focus on the impact of your work, quantity should not be a factor.
8. The skill of communicating verbally and through writing in English is important since it is prominent globally.
Lasha1608 @emilymbender @sivareddyg @dipanjand @ssshanest @aclmeeting Tangential, but it would be really cool to have a NLP-wide Slack or persistent RocketChat.
