Mastodon MigrationHappy Enshittification Day! 💥
July 1, 2023: Reddit cuts off API access, Twitter requires login, Youtube may ban ad-blockers, Meta & Google block news in Canada...
A half-year since Cory Doctorow's seminal thesis on #enshittification, how corporate platforms die (https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/#hey-guys), and every corporate site seems hell bend on its own destruction.
Celebrate #EnshittificationDay by going to [instance address]/about, find the donations link, and make your contribution to open social media!
Guess I need to revive this, huh? I never hunted out a Bluesky invite...
I'm making a pre-print of my new article "Towards a Theory of Appropriate Fandom" available - it will be available open access through Participations Journal in the new year, but I figured I could share it now. #FanStudies
Text is finalised, page numbers will be corrected to fit in with volume when officially published.

Sheril KirshenbaumFor thousands of years, fermenting beer was considered a household task for #women.
By the Middle Ages, some sold beer at English markets. Female brewers wore tall, pointy hats to be easily spotted. They stood by cauldrons & often had cats to keep mice away.
Sound familiar? It should.
You see, when male brewers felt threatened, they accused the women of witchcraft. These rumors may have led to some witch iconography we still recognize today.

Mikey Brenndorfer XVXHoly shit, from the TEU Facebook page:
"BREAKING: TEU has won in the Employment Relations Authority! AUT will be required to suspend or withdraw their redundancy notices. More details tomorrow…"

My most recent article is totally ready to go with the journal, but they are doing a complete site refit, and so publication has been put off until the new year sometime. It's an open-access journal, and I have a fully formatted pre-print with everything except final page numbers. Would it be bad form to just post it?
Darius KazemiMy tool for making a simple, searchable, themeable archive of your public tweets and threads is now live:
https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/make-your-own/
The tool runs entirely on your computer, in your browser. None of your data is uploaded anywhere in the process. The output is a zip file of a basic HTML website that you can upload to a web host if you choose.
The site also answers most of the common questions I get. Please read it first before asking me questions here!
