@IanMNoone Thanks! I’m good on the mechanics; it’s mostly the social dynamics I’m still working through.

I find that I don’t post much here because I haven’t quite figured it out.

I’ve figured out that just posting as I did on Twitter doesn’t respect the hard work of the people who made this space to be better. And they’ve made me realize just how bad (dehumanizing, casually toxic) Twitter has gotten since I joined. I don’t really want to go back.

But I don’t know how to go forward. Who to connect to, what to talk about.

I’m working on it. Just didn’t want y’all to think I’d forgotten you.

Just a week or two in and I fking love this place so much. It's like stumbling out of the noise and into the kitchen at a party, and finding your people right there all the time.

You miss the friends you left behind in the shouty room where most who talk to you are looking over your shoulder to see if there's anyone more important to latch onto, but you hope your friends will soon find the kitchen, too.

I am not sure if there is a Mastodon norm about refs to academic 📝, especially by others. 1 thing about academic birdy that really 😤me (and would be great not to replicate here) is people regularly posting links and summaries of papers without giving attribution to the authors. This led to some accounts amassing 📈 followers on the backs of others labor who rarely got credit. With the ⬆️ character counts here, I think there is no excuse for not at least giving a “first author, et al”. Just an💡

@wrigleyfield @markigra I set up a @socsciresearch group, FWIW… follow, then use the @-tag (not #) to flag new research to other followers
