Wo bleiben die Universitäten im Fediverse?

Warum betreiben Universitäten nicht schon längst eigene Mastodon-Instanzen?

Warum bekommen Studierende nicht mit der Immatrikulation auch einen Mastodon-Handle?

Warum hosten Universitäten Vorlesungsvideos nicht über PeerTube im Fediverse?

Es gibt einiges, das für ein stärkeres Engagement von Universitäten im Fediverse spricht.

Ein Aufruf den man nur unterstützen kann!

Academics can generally use any platform they like. Attempts by management to limit this will generally lead to a revolt.

However, academics on social media tend to be those most in need of attention. I can think of dozens who joined Mastodons last year, with many of the most vocal, saying how awful twitter was.

Most have quietly gone back to X, to get the attention they crave.

The publishing scam is just a side effect.

I think the real problem with academia is that it trains people to think like very poor middle managers, who rather than solve problems pursue badly corrupted metrics in order to advance their careers.
