This argues that - because of the "perils of a public good in private hands" - not just discussion should move from twitter to mastodon, scholarly institutions should now also create instances in the fediverse that make publicly available: papers, data & code.

Mastodon: a move to publicly owned scholarly knowledge

Letter to the Editor

@W_Lucht I like the idea of scholars moving to Mastodon (or anyone moving in general) but is Mastodon really the appropriate place for papers to be stored
@BrendanDN @W_Lucht Well, I guess this would be a start. Certainly, issues would arise that need to be addressed.
