Dave Grahamhonestly, I'd love to see an academic instance of Mastodon. I know that @sawherry had initially jumped on the idea of Discord instance for academics. This might be more...plausible? what do you think? #academic #academicchatter
Thomas Friedrich@davegraham @sawherry I’d love to see #academicchatter on Mastodon. Perhaps the recent #TwitterMigration can make it happen. :)
@thfriedrich @sawherry I absolutely want this to happen ;)
Michael Veale@davegraham scholar.social exists although i’m not sure it’s the way forward, and it’s not clear who even runs it or it’s sustainability.
@mikarv thanks for that, Michael. I‘ll take a look and see what’s lying around.
@davegraham no problem. in absence of that, am collecting tech policy names here https://someone.elses.computer/@mikarv/109257782127322261

Nadiah Kristensen@davegraham I'm new here and joined the fediscience.org instance, which I believe is meant to be an instance specifically for academics?
@nadiah could be! He ll have to explore that a bit. :)
@nadiah and, of course, I mean “I’ll” not whatever it is I wrote before. 🤦♂️
@davegraham You shouldn’t have said anything. My brain somehow read it as “I’ll”, and I didn’t even notice until you mentioned it 🙃
