"The Failed Migration of Academic Twitter"

Academic Twitter was great, & it breaks my heart that the community I found there has done so little to rebuild on Mastodon, even tho Mast is far better. I loved learning abt new research & pubs (& occasionally posting abt my own). A fair # of people migrated to Mast but most didn't stay, at least in my field of literary studies.

What can academics do to build & rebuild academic exchange on Mastodon?

@RobertDaleParker This should be a whole #Fedforum topic. Are you thinking of going this Thursday, Robert? cc: @fediforum

@tchambers @fediforum

Thanks. That's the first I've heard of it, but I can't do that.

Regardless, thanks for your enthusiasm about the topic. And it applies far beyond academia as well.

@tchambers @RobertDaleParker @fediforum ISTR we did discuss something similar last session, during the March #FediForum ...

Ah, there it is:

But yeah, it would be good to go more in depth into the observations the researchers found.
