   "The Failed Migration of Academic Twitter"

   https://arxiv.org/html/2406.04005v1

   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?

   #Academia @LitStudies

     far as I can tell, academic twitter is thriving on bluesky

     or at least economics and the snarkier political stuff

     @failedLyndonLaRouchite @RobertDaleParker My experience is that it is much the same on Bluesky as on Mastodon. Many people have an account, but most of them haven’t published anything in the last six months.

     @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.
