Ok, giving this a go!

Today's idle thought is that the Mastodon Migration particularly of #AcademicTwitter is a fascinating experiment in the cultural dynamics of validation and evaluation in the academy

Several requests running to help track mentions of papers here because "it's important to track" (cf https://ecoevo.social/@jby/109306899685024946) but also people celebrating the return of actual conversations and less broadcasting.

#ResearchNotes

Once upon a time in the early days of social media there were places that some of us posted regularly on our day to day research work

I don't think I ever did it on the Birdsite but I'm wondering whether it might be something worth trying again

Places like #FriendFeed were good for that, other SM sites not so much but it was a great community thing at the time
