Agree. PEN does much more good than harm. We can't afford to lose allies like this in the years to come. https://thehill.com/opinion/education/4646012-writers-attacking-pen-america-over-israel-are-burning-down-their-own-house/

If you didn't know Jews cause anti-Semitism by complaining about anti-Semitism you might not be spending enough time on Elon Musk's hate machine.

Cory Doctorow: "Mastodon is far from perfect. But I only have so many hours in the day, and only so many days left in my life. I would much rather spend those precious hours making a open service better than using a temporarily superior closed one. I have seen that movie. I know how it ends"

"814 (54%) authors of papers where data were indicated to be ‘available upon request’ responded to our data requests, and 226 (14%) either shared or indicated willingness to share all or some data." Also, the response bias was racist. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-023-02129-8
"Available upon request" is fake open-washing that journal editors should not tolerate.

@hildabast @drewharwell thanks for sharing. I have been victim of a number of pile-ons that started with a famous person quote-tweeting me, but they've also done it in replies and with screenshots. I doubt the QT function itself was dispositive. On the plus side, of course, QT is a good tool for high-follower accounts to boost others, and bring more people to the discussion in a way that helps them build their audience.

@Gargron I've seen a number of new people sign up and drop off after a few days. They may want to just check it out, consider options, wait for more critical mass. Trying to think back to my Twitter experience circa 2011, when only a small fraction of my friends were there, and it wasn't a hub for public activity and news.
