@anneurai that would be handy!
@Samuelmoore you can surely do something good with their money, but unlikely you'd be chosen to be the recipient of their money if they thought you'd undermine their business. There's a great Noam Chomsky interview with Andrew Marr where Marr says nobody tells him what to say, and Chomsky simply replies, I'm sure you believe everything you say but if you didn't believe those things you wouldn't be in the job you are now. Same thing here.
@jonny @jordan idea for neuromatch.social. How about experimenting with better thread views? I never liked Twitter much for this but to be honest masto is no better and maybe even worse. I'd like a block that shows the first message in the thread to remind me what it was, the number of messages and participants (and maybe list the most active participants), and a vertical scroll list by recency with message being replied to on left, replies on right. Or something like that. Feasible?
@jonny neuromatch is still unblocked right?

@Samuelmoore it's also worth keeping in mind that a very real strategy used by the powerful to maintain their interests is to give resources and power to those who have a perspective that seems critical but is actually non threatening to them. (You see this in journalism all the time btw.) If there are two "open science" advocates, one with a flashy website, social media team, etc, and the other a small group of curmudgeons, guess whose ideas everyone ends up talking about.
@Samuelmoore let's put it this way: they wouldn't be giving someone money to do work that they think would undermine their position and profits. So obviously they think it's clear enough, and I'm inclined to believe them on this. They seem to pursue their own interests quite effectively.
@lili definitely good to have more instances I think. Better not to have a single point of failure, diversity is good, we'll learn from each other, etc.
