@admin @blackmastodon Been supporting you for a while. Love the transparency on the finances (spoiler alert for those who haven't clicked through: they could use a few bucks).

@Gaywallet As usual, Cory Doctorow writes beautifully and insightfully (go read the article, it isn't just a litany of what is bad, it is about how it is bad and why it is bad). Hard to pick just one pull quote but I'll go with "the potential anti-enshittification coalition is massive".

@rra and I have a new, article out: "Shifting your research from X to Mastodon? Here's what you need to know"

https://www.cell.com/action/showPdf?pii=S2666-3899%2823%2900323-9

This article is an opinion piece in which we argue that social scientists cannot simply port their work from X to or the rest of the . There are key differences in culture, expectations of privacy, and of course topology to consider.

@rwg @rra @commodon @academicchatter Oh oh, this is about people who study social networks, not merely those who use social networks to do/publicize research on other topics. Interesting stuff and definitely makes me think that the moment when Twitter was especially easy to study was an unusual time, without super close analogues before or since.

when do you abandon a book?
I'm not very good at it, but I might be about to do it again.

@Helen50 @bookstodon One of my biggest regrets in life, years ago, was not leaving a play at intermission when I wasn't into it (yes I remember which play but I'm not saying here in case it is someone's favorite). Learn from my mistake.
